Lots going on in the Hammer for Haiti Relief.

Finger Eleven is performing on the 30th at Hamilton Place. Along with locals Steve Strongman, Tomi Swick, Dodger, etc.

Also, the Skydragon is hosting a smaller afternoon/evening benefit on the 30th as well which involves a variety of local musicians including some of the Fat/Acousticats...(I know Todd and Dave are confirmed at least)...

Doug Fever is also supposed to be playing, along with Mike Trebilcock, Steve Sinnicks...I have also heard rumours that the Brian Griffiths, Jesse O'Brien, Sharon Musgrave crowd has been asked to participate...not sure if they were able or not.

Also a benefit going on at the Afro-Canadian Carribean Community Centre that night as well.

Lots of great things to choose from to show your support!
