Nov 5, Friday 8:30 PM start time. Book your tix now at http://www.hughsroom.com/ 416-531-6604. Sultans of String will be donating this show, raising funds and awareness for ArtsCan Circle, a charitable organization dedicated to linking creative artists with Indigenous youth at risk in Canada, and to encouraging self-esteem and creative self-expression through a cooperative exploration of the arts. ”These funds go a long way to making a difference in the life of a child.” says McKhool, who is also a board member of ArtsCan. “The power of music to bring hope to a community, help a young person find their voice, or even save a life is amazing.”
