It’s music with a purpose as musician Tyler Myroon hosts a fundraiser for the Second Harvest Food bank, Saturday, Aug. 23, at the Hideaway Pub.
Hungry Artists Feeding Families is sponsored by Shuswap Coffee Company, West Ave Productions, and Hideaway Pub, says Myroon.
“We are taking non- perishable food donations, that can be called in to Tyler at 250-463- 5578 until Aug. 23,” says Myroon. “Early food donations enter you to win a free Abstrakt Sonance hoodie, tickets to upcoming shows, CDs from West Ave Productions, one pound of Abstrakt Blendz Coffee from the Shuswap Coffee Company and a gift card for studio time for recording in the West Ave Studios.”
The Second Harvest fundraiser is restricted to those 19 years of age and older.
Live entertainment begins at 9 p.m. with Vernon’s Immaculate, followed by Day Shaw Voo from Kelowna, Calgary’s Memo and Salmon Arm’s own Leo Zen and Myroon’s Abstrakt Sonance.
Immaculate was the winner of the Vancouver Island Music Award for Hip Hop Album of the Year in 2013. A BC Interior Music Award nominee, Immaculate has pursued his life passion – writing, recording, producing, and performing hip-hop – for a decade.
The Okanagan-based artist has established a reputation as a strong live performer with performances in eight countries and on multiple tours across Canada.
Rocking festivals like Center of Gravity, The Groove and the Hidden Music Festival in Kelowna, Immaculate has warming up audiences for established names like A$AP Rocky, Machine Gun Kelly, Three 6 Mafia, Xzibit, Hopsin, Bliss n Eso, the Demigodz, Swollen Members, M.O.P, Masta Ace, Warren G, Classified, Zion I, Shad and Sweatshop Union.
Immaculate has also established a solid buzz with the release of four music videos, his music charting on college radio across the country, and winning several online songwriting competitions against hundreds of other entries from around the world.
Abstrakt Sonance and Leo Zen have a European/UK tour coming up in November.
This will be Abstrakt’s fifth European tour in two years.
Admission is by donation of at least two non-perishable food items or $5.
