Hedley Allegations Inspire Neon Dreams' Raise Your Voice Fundraiser

By Nick Krewen

Halifax EMI-based pop band Neon Dreams, which abandoned its warm-up slot during Hedley’s recent Cageless cross-Canada tour after rumours of sexual assault allegations about the headliner began to circulate, has spearheaded the Raise Your Voice fundraiser Sept. 9 at Toronto’s Gladstone.


According to the press release, the concert, which includes headliner Ralph of Toronto, another local singer Jillea, and Alberta duo The Command Sisters, will benefit programs involving Youth Rising Above (YRA) and the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape.

Neon Dreams, which will perform an acoustic set, will also donate $1000 to the two organizations, and another $5000 through the Raise Your Voice event.

Montreal Jazz Culture Takes Centre Stage at TIFF 2025

Chosen for TIFF 2025’s Short Cuts Program 01, Jazz infernal by Will Niava features original music, blending Montreal’s jazz heritage with the contemporary journey of a young Ivorian trumpeter in exile.

Driven by jazz as a universal language, the short film Jazz Infernal follows the journey of a young Ivorian trumpeter navigating exile, integration, and Afro-descendant memory.

Premiered last week at Toronto’s Scotiabank Theatre and nominated in the short films category at TIFF 2025, the film premiered as part of Short Cuts on September 4.
