Our pal Herve Basset would be so proud of everyone who is stepping up to put support behind Brady's Basement: Live Stream Concerts to support musicians. So many kind and thoughtful donations to support musicians who have no source of income currently. A HUGE shout out to Hemingway's, The Hideout Toronto, Jack Daniel's and Eastbound Brewing Company for their sponsorship. See you tonight at 9pm EST! A special U2 set for tonight. Tickets and details at www.shawnbrady.com...100% proceeds tonight to our friend and incredible talent, Matt Morgan!!
Can't thank everyone enough for your support of Brady's Basement. So far we've helped 8 musicians who are out of work at the moment. Paul McCann (pictured here) is one of those great people we've helped through the Herve Basset Foundation. Herve Basset would be beaming as helping local musicians was something near and dear to his heart. Thanks to our sponsors Hemingway's, The Hideout Toronto, Jack Daniel's and Eastbound Brewing Company! $6245 raised so far.
Overwhelmed with the support for Brady's Basement: Live Stream Concerts to support musicians! So far raised in just 7 nights......$4795! 100% of it is going to support local musicians out of work via the Herve Basset Foundation. It's amazing how many people have bought virtual tickets and also stepped up as sponsors (Jack Daniel's, Eastbound Brewing Company, Hemingway's and The Hideout Toronto). I am taking a short break for a few days to rest up and enjoy the amazing streams by friends. Please check out Phill Hood, Shawn Eiferman, Bon Evans, Don Campbell and many others who are doing the same thing. Our next show will be announced soon and proceeds will goto Phill Hood who was selected by Scott Baragar.
Please join our streaming series through Covid-19 to support musicians in Toronto...here is the link: Brady's Basement: Supporting musicians during Covid-19
In addition to raising $5000 to support Bout winning band Downriver Band and donating $3700 to the Regent Park School of music last year, we just started an online streaming platform through Facebook to support musicians during COVID-19. So many musicians out of work and we are helping one at a time. Last night we raised $1000! for the talented Jeff Eager who has three young kids and is out of work for a while. Stay tuned tonight for a schedule and links so you can join in and support. We encourage musicians to try and do streams yourself and set up donations to keep music alive and musicians viable during this tough time.
