Raina Douris is a former on-air personality & Indie Online curator for 102.1 the Edge. She currently hosts her show Rain’s World, where she has bands come to her house, drink, talk music and occasionally make some crafts. It doesn’t get more personal than that. Former guests include Tokyo Police Club, The Elwins, & Unsigned alumni The Darcys (photo below).
Last night, we hosted a “Staff & Friends Charity Art Show” to celebrate Toronto Humane Society’s birthday with a charity art show. Over $4000 was raised for the THS from the art donated by Steam Whistle Brewing Staff, and the Humane Society Staff and volunteers. Beer was flowing, bands were entertaining, art was selling, and everyone was making friends for a great cause (even the four legged attendees!)
As someone on Twitter put it….
And it was a win-win night!
It’s an amazing feeling to be able to give back to the community and to showcase Canada’s indie music talent. Our Unsigned Indie Music Series has been helping develop Canada’s indie music scene and we’ve been fortunate to provide a stage for some great acts. In the past 4 years we’ve featured over 50 independent Canadian acts and have raised over $30,000 for local artists.
Recently, the line up for Edgefest 2012 was announced and we were ecstatic to see some familiar names who have performed at our brewery. Can you spot them?
