The Phonix- Haiti Relief

HUMANITY FOR HAITI

Vancouver Soul Musicians Band Together for Haiti

Yes, this event now has a "real" title; Humanity For Haiti. I am pleased to announce that plans for this amazing event are well underway. The response so far has been overwhelming!

In terms of the actual news coverage for this event, CBC has given us multiple plugs and we are currently looking for more media to help us get as much coverage as possible.

Again, all proceeds from this show will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross. If you would like to make a charitable donation in excess of the $15 you will pay for admission, the Red Cross will be on site with us most of the evening for you to make further donations and get a tax receipt. We are excited to have Sharon Jones of the Canadian Red Cross join us to give a presentation regarding current relief efforts in Haiti!

As for the bands, everyone is pumped and ready to make you dance your socks off all night long. From neo jazz/soul artist Jackee Guillou to the bashing beats of Aaron Nazrul and the Boom Booms, all topped off with funk good times from The Phonix. The Star Captains are yet to be confirmed.

So mark it in your calendar if you haven't already!

FEBRUARY 17- Doors @ 7:30pm and music to start shortly thereafter. 1882 Adanac St, Vancouver

HAITI RELIEF BENEFIT CONCERT

Vancouver Soul Musicians Band Together for Haiti

Upon receiving word of the terrible situation unfolding in Haiti after the recent 7.0 magnitude earthquake, the Phonix was moved to take action. "We have so much to be thankful for in this beautiful country, and there is no reason why we can't reach out to other places in need of a helping hand," says band leader Reuben Avery.

Within the last 24 hours, an exciting musical event, aimed at raising as much money as possible to contribute to the Canadian Red Cross's efforts in Haiti, has taken shape. Set for February 17, this evening of music provided by four local bands will unfold at the Wise Hall in Vancouver. Details for the event are still in the planning stages although much has already been decided.

Tickets will go on sale very soon. They will be available online through PayPal via the Phonix website. For a mere $15, you can enjoy four hours of highly energized music while feeling good about the fact that 100% of the proceeds from this event will go to a good cause. The following acts are tentatively billed for the event and have all been kind enough to donate their time for the cause:

As it stands, here are the current details for the event:
