If you love the great outdoors and the sweet sound of music, Firemen’s Park is the place to be today in Niagara Falls.
Day of 1000 Musicians promises to make music history today by having one thousand musicians – from basement to garage to bar circuit to pro gather in one outdoor venue, simultaneously performing six songs, five of which are Canadian (including the Humboldt version of Tom Cochrane’s “Big League”).
Organizers say it could be the largest gathering of Canadian musicians ever. Perhaps even in North America. Inspired by Italy’s “Rockin’ 1000,” this ambitious, not-for-profit Niagara endeavour will also raise money for local charities including the Niagara Conservatory of Music’s Music Gives Movement, Progressive Music Therapy and ProjectShare.
Giant FM’s Pat Porter and author/performer/ex veejay Kim Clarke Champniss share emcee duties throughout the day, and don’t be surprised if you catch sight…or sound…of some very recognizable Canadian musicians throughout the day. Local crooner David McKinty will sing our National Anthem a cappella, and sound for the big event is being handled by Canada’s premiere sound company, Westbury National.
Artistic Director Roger McLaughlin is also offering ½-hour seminars onsite for vocals, drums and guitar, prior to the grand finale.
Why not come out and support this incredible event today!
