Things are shaping up for the Gainey Family and Friends Concert in Peterborough, ON, March 14 where The Jeffersons will perform to raise funds for the Gainey Foundation - the foundation formed by Bob Gainey’s family after the death of the Montreal Canadiens general managers daughter and their sister, Laura. The foundation helps young Canadians in environmental and cultural programs throughout Canada. For more details on this visit gaineyfoundation.com which will also show where some of the grants have gone.
In addition to Lisa and Paul, this year’s concert will also feature Canadian singer John McDermott, Montreal comedian Steve Patterson, Prairie Oyster’s Russell deCarle, Kingston’s The Abrams Brothers, Juno nominees Jackson Delta, and rocker James McKenty of The Spades among others. All the artists have donated their time. Tickets to the show are available at Showplace in Peterborough for $100 with all proceeds going to the foundation. You can order online at www.showplace.org.
