This spring, Crave Music is organizing an Artist Showcase & Fundraiser to help generate interest and resources needed to record and release a compilation album of independent artists. The goal is to raise enough money to cover the costs of releasing the recordings on CD and iTunes (as well as other online distributors), and showcase these artists to their fans, bringing their music into the mainstream.
This year’s event will be held on Saturday, March 31st, at the Tranzac Club, 292 Brunswick Ave, just South of Bloor St., between Bathurst and Spadina. This venue is familar to most of the artists, as many of them participate in the weekly Tranzac Jam on Saturdays, but this show will be held in the big room, with a full stage and big sound to showcase their talents in front of the audience.
