A charity concert will be held tonight (March 8) in Toronto to benefit the victims of a tragic downtown fire that left a 22-year-old man dead, another severely injured and others homeless.
The grief that struck the city in the wake of the deadly March 4 fire touched three local indie bands, Lambsbreath, Numb Tongues and Benjamin M. Doerksen, who have banded together to perform at the fundraising concert.
Proceeds from the pay-what-you-can concert hosted by Indie Week at The Painted Lady on Ossington Street will go towards supporting residents impacted by the deadly fire. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the concert is scheduled to run through to 9 p.m.
The fundraising concert date was set after Toronto firefighters early on March 4 were called to two low-rise buildings at 160 and 162 Bathurst Street to battle a five-alarm fire. – Find out further detail by reading Etan Vlessing’s news feature on the SamaritanMag website.
