Created by veteran indie rocker Hayden Desser and his wife, production designer Christie Greyerbiehl, the annual Dream Serenade event gathers together a who's who of Canadian indie rock (and sometimes international) talent for the special one-night event. Past performers have included the likes of Feist, Gord Downie, Broken Social Scene, Sarah Harmer and Sloan.
