CanJam #10 is the 10th annual music concert supporting the Brantford Food Bank serving Brant County and surrounding areas. Back in 2015, after years of performing music at small venues, local musician John Ladds decided he wanted to give something to the community. So he recruited some musician friends to put a band together, now known as the "John Ladds Band" to come together each year to put on an evening of live music with all proceeds going to the Brantford Food Bank.
CanJam has raised approximately $15,000 over the years for the local community. This event has become a labour of love for John, his bandmates Mark Irschick (bass, flute), Jeff Gay (drums), Steve Todd (guitar, violin, mandolin, vocals), Rob Gies (guitar) and Yvonne Way (vocals) who look forward to coming together every year to put on a fantastic evening of live music covering a very wide array of material ranging from the 1960's up to the current day.
In past years, the event has always sold out early due to the constraints of smaller venues. The band is super excited to be performing in the beautiful 400-seat #ForParis Centre on October 19th at 7PM. Please email johnladds@gmail.com for your tickets ($30 each).
