Tell Mama Hosting Food Bank Bash Again this Year
Author: shelley // Category: Night Before Xmas
Local band, Tell Mama, steps forward to plan foodbank fundraiser for the fourth year in a row. Working together with Patricia Prescott of Zen Healing and Rejuvenation clinic, Tell Mama band leader Shelley Montreuil is taking a lead role in organizing an entertaining and successful fundraising event.
Playing jazz and blues infused folk-funk, Tell Mama has been steadily carving a niche for themselves in Eastern Ontario since 2002.
Tell Mama’s “Kick Ass Jass” – a blend of sophisticated jazz, hungry blues, edgy rock and mellow funk – is as entertaining as it is eclectic. The band’s sultry vocals, infectious beat and inventive style deliver original material and timeless favourites in a way that is strong, sexy, danceable and, above all, fun to listen to.
Well, it’s officially the night before the night before the night before Christmas food bank fundraiser (boy, that was a mouthful!). We have finished the last radio interview with Mr. Hugh Colton from Town and Country Chrysler in his Dodge Journey Community Events Vehicle, yesterday we chatted with Brian Perkin from Lake 88 – these guys are both consummate professionals.
The Perth Farmer’s Market folks have been preparing their food all day, the setup crew is getting ready for their shift and the tickets are flying off the shelf!
It’s gonna be good – see you there!
Christa Matthews and Shelley Montreuil spent a bit of time in the Lake 88 studio with Donna Davidson recording a commercial to advertise this year’s fundraiser – Donna really whipped us into shape, she did an excellent job.
Here is the commercial:
