On June 20 Steve Strongman a Hamilton, Ontario based bluesman and JUNO winner will be coming to the Albion Hotel in Guelph from 6pm to 10pm to perform a concert in support of Bracelet of Hope.
Strongman is making waves internationally and at home in Canada. His breakthrough 2012 release A Natural Fact is being recognized as a standout blues and roots record with three 2012 Maple Blues Awards (recording, songwriter and guitarist of the year) of the six for which it was nominated.
The record was also recognized with the aforementioned JUNO award for Blues Recording Of The Year and also took home the Canadian Folk Music Producer Of The Year award.
Strongman has been championed by Holger Petersen (Saturday Night Blues-CBC Radio), and throughout the years has shared the stage with the international blues royalty including BB King, Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan, Joe Cocker, Robert Cray, Ronnie Earl, Roy Clark, Otis Clay, and Jeff Healey, to name a few.
Founded in 2005, Bracelet of Hopes engages Canadians in the fight against HIV/AIDS and is a grassroots charity committed to ending the AIDS pandemic in Lesotho, and by doing so, saving the lives of 200,000 children who have been orphaned by the death of their parents to the disease.
Funds from this fundraiser will go to support the Foster Hope Program in Lesotho, where the children placed in care are given a loving home which provides nutritious food, clothing, shelter, medication, medical care and education at the local school.
The Steve Strongman concert will have entertainment, appetizers, silent auction and draws.
