Why?
Michael (a.k.a. Mica Hamerson of Ottawa bands – The Flats and Tilda) was walking home along Wellington street with his son a couple of weeks ago when he bumped into a neighbour who looked quite distraught. She had just learned of the recent news of a 2nd wave of aftershocks in Haiti. She felt helpless, at a loss – wanting to do something.
Before he knew it, Michael was saying “ You know what…?… I have this show booked at the Elmdale House Tavern with Pamela Brennan in a couple of weeks, and I am sure we could “… So – after a weekend filled with telephone calls and emails, Michael was able to rally many friends to stand behind “Hang on Haiti!”
The evening will open with local Ottawa troubadour Marc Nelson followed by Toronto’s Pamela Brennan (Hennessey) and closing is one of Ottawa’s most under rated bands – That’s the Spirit. Amanda Putz has graciously offered to host the evening. Local Hintonburg catering company DISH catering has kindly to provide elegant bar snacks.
Pilot Design Studio has donated the poster. Nat of the Elmdale House Tavern is not only donating the space but is also covering the cost of the sound technician. Donations? Monies raised will go to CARE Canada to be dispersed directly to Haiti. Attendees are encouraged to “donate at the door” and bid on some door prizes.
All monies donated will be matched by the Canadian Government. Live locally, think globally, try to take care of one another and every little bit helps. Hang on Haiti is turning into a really nice evening of music and friendship with some of Ottawa’s best. You should come out and join in on a great cause. For up to date details check out the Hang on Haiti Facebook event page. See you on the 10th!
