Musicians often get asked to play for free for fundraising events. I used to say yes to everything until I realized I had to pay rent and eat good food. However, on Saturday May 16 I'm hapopy to be playing at The Spero Gala, an annual Edmonton fundraiser put on by The Action Coalition on Human Trafficking (ACT Alberta). ACT brings together law enforcement, government ministries, non-governmental organizations and volunteers to identify and respond to human trafficking. ACT Alberta serves the needs of trafficked men, women and children and addresses international and domestic trafficking, for labour and sexual exploitation.
Perhaps I've learned more than I wanted to about Human Trafficking both on a global scale and in this city. ACT does great work to combat these grave injustices in Alberta so I am so happy to be a part of this fundraising event. There are still tickets availabale for the gala if you'd like to come. See http://sperogala.ca/ for details. I'll be playing two short sets with good ol' Anthony Middel and we'd both love to see your faces.
