Trebleclef Reminds You to Please Help Local Charities

Santa agrees with Trebleclef: Please help local charities this Christmastime

As the holiday season approaches, there will be many incredible charity events to attend.  Please remember those less fortunate at this time of year.

Trebleclef, our little monkey mascot, has been experiencing a number of such special occasions and he encourages everyone to attend a few as well.  It'll make ya feel good there's some amazing music sometimes.

For example, there was Share the Warmth, a wonderful winter clothing drive that had a number of remarkable local musicians playing at Gallagher's in Hamilton.

All winter clothing went to the Good Shepherd Centre.  Check them out if you'd like to donate or volunteer.

Also, Elyse, the daughter of Hamilton musician Kevin MacLean, had a beautiful, unique  7th birthday celebration at Delta High School.  Instead of receiving gifts, the event was to collect toys for the Y108 Children's Fund.  There were tons of activities, food and even Santa popped by.  Great job Elyse - you should be proud.

Performer of the Week: Kevin Maclean Band

Local musician, Kevin Maclean has been rocking with his group the Kevin Maclean Band for a number of years now but they've recently added another success story to their impressive history.

After recording the impressive song, Gotta Be Dundas, for the town's bid to become this year's Hockeyville, Dundas won the competition! Way to go!

Kevin and the gang mix it up with straight ahead hard rocking, some modern flourishes, pop elements, and much more.

You can check out the band's great sound on 2 of their CD's: All the Good People and Second Chance. The latter has collaborations with Steve Strongman, Harrison Kennedy, and Tom Wilson.

If live music is more your thing, you can see them rock the Pheasant Plucker every Sunday night or check them out at many of their local gigs.
