SaskMusic, the province鈥檚 professional music organization, has set up a number of concert events across Saskatchewan March 7th and 8th, in honour of International Women鈥檚 Day. The Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings (FACTOR), a well-known industry organization, provided funding for the event.
The concerts, which took place in Regina, Saskatoon, Lemberg, Yorkton, Estevan, and Prince Albert, saw over thirty musicians take the stage. In Yorkton, artists descended upon Grumpy鈥檚 Saturday night. Erin Hill, Sabrina Demyen, Stick Graft, and velours rounded out Saturday鈥檚 Parkland set. The monies raised go directly to benefit local programs in Yorkton.
鈥淪askMusic put together this concert. They鈥檙e actually doing seven concerts throughout Saskatchewan today,鈥� said Hill.
鈥淚鈥檓 here in Yorkton, and all the proceeds are going to SIGN, which is awesome. I鈥檓 really excited to hear the other performers tonight, so it should be fun! I think it鈥檚 just important to even raise awareness about it and get people talking about it. Having something like this where people can kind of get together and have fun is great, and at the same time raise some funds in a place where the funds are going to people that need it.鈥�
