SaskMusic Women's Day concert

SaskMusic, the province’s professional music organization, has set up a number of concert events across Saskatchewan March 7th and 8th, in honour of International Women’s Day. The Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings (FACTOR), a well-known industry organization, provided funding for the event.

The concerts, which took place in Regina, Saskatoon, Lemberg, Yorkton, Estevan, and Prince Albert, saw over thirty musicians take the stage. In Yorkton, artists descended upon Grumpy’s Saturday night. Erin Hill, Sabrina Demyen, Stick Graft, and velours rounded out Saturday’s Parkland set. The monies raised go directly to benefit local programs in Yorkton.

“SaskMusic put together this concert. They’re actually doing seven concerts throughout Saskatchewan today,” said Hill.

“I’m here in Yorkton, and all the proceeds are going to SIGN, which is awesome. I’m really excited to hear the other performers tonight, so it should be fun! I think it’s just important to even raise awareness about it and get people talking about it. Having something like this where people can kind of get together and have fun is great, and at the same time raise some funds in a place where the funds are going to people that need it.”
