Concerts for a Cause Hosts its Kick-Off Show in Toronto

Sadie May Crash at the Elmo

TORONTO, January 24, 2008 - Concerts for a Cause (CFAC), a non-profit organization dedicated to organizing concerts for charity, had its kick-off show at the El Mocambo on January 24. The concert featured Ketch Harbour Wolves, Sadie May Crash, The Miles, Howl, and The Avenue.

CFAC has its roots in Vancouver, and is now making a mark in Toronto. Founder Andrew Rusk reflects on his charity: "Concerts for a Cause is a great way for bands to get publicity, charities to get revenue, and everybody to have an amazing night of independent music."

A cornucopia of independent music, the concert ran from 8 to 12, and featured the Atlantic Folk inspired Ketch Harbour Wolves to the heavy rock punk-inspired Sadie May Crash.

The show raised over $500 for Journalists Human Rights. After the show, Andrew Clark, Outreach Coordinator for Journalists for Human Rights commented: "It looks as though everyone had a great time and the event went down without any visible hitches."

Concerts for a Cause plans to organize concerts monthly in Toronto. Its next show is on February 28th and is featuring Eden Ants, The Avenue, and several more bands still to be confirmed.
