The final preparations are now underway for the We Stand On Guard Again benefit concert for those devastated by Hurricane Fiona last month.
The concert was first announced just days after the disaster, with local artists and media groups—including VOCM, eager to pitch in.
The event features a who’s who of Newfoundland artists, being headlined by Shanneyganock with Bud Davidge.
The federal government recently extended its donation-matching program for the Red Cross, and Shanneyganock frontman Chris Andrews says that will be a big help.
He says they can’t thank the federal government enough for extending the program so that the concert can be included.
