TODD KERNS, BRENT FITZ, CORY CHURKO Celebrate Canadian Music In TOQUE
August 14, 2016, 8 years ago
In 2012, Todd Kerns and Brent Fitz (both from Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators) along with Cory Churko (Kelly Clarkson) took time out of their busy schedules to band together and play a charity event in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They decided the theme of the night was to play only Canadian classic music. With a setlist comprised of tunes by such greats as: Streetheart, Queen City Kids, Kim Mitchell, Loverboy, Saga, Platinum Blonde, Harlequin and Aldo Nova they played to a packed house raising money for Cancer research.
The night was such a success that they decided to put together a record to celebrate the best in Canadian Music and remake the songs that influenced and inspired their careers. Toque was born!
Here are the bands represented on the new and forthcoming Toque - Give 'Er Volume 1 album. In alphabetical order:
Aldo Nova
