April 23, 2011, 13 years ago
According to Rob Williams from Winnipegfreepress.com, Manitoba Rocking Breast Cancer at the Palomino Club is being held on Tuesday, April 26th and features Canuck classic rockers HARLEQUIN and an all-star group put together by SLASH's drummer Brent Fitz, a Winnipegger whose career includes stints with VINCE NEIL and ALICE COPER. Fitz has recruited his Slash bandmate Todd Kerns (ex-AGE OF ELECTRIC), SHANIA TWAIN/KELLY CLARKSON guitarist Cory Churko and Spider Sinnaeve, a local Winnipeg legend who has played with the likes of LOVERBOY, STREETHEART, KIM MITCHELL AND TOM COCHRANE (to name a few) to form an all-star band.
The show was nearly sold out at press time, but anyone interested in purchasing a $25 ticket can call the bar at 772-0454.
Bartender Scott Townsend has collected an impressive lineup of raffle prizes, including guitars donated from St. John's Music and autographed by Slash and the all-star band, a trip to Las Vegas and concert tickets.
Townsend hopes to raise about $20,000 and make it an annual event. The show starts at 9 p.m.
