| Opus Road, Clifton David and others to play first ever Queen West Musicfest |
| Updated: Tuesday, 11 August 2009 | ||
Toronto-based rockers Opus Road and others will be playing the 1st ever Queen West Musicfest August 23rd at Trinity Bellwoods Park. The event will be to help support local independent artists, while also raising money for the Toronto East General Hospital Foundation.
The event is completely free; all revenue is generated through sponsorships from Sportsnet, Molson Canadian, Hero Burger, and TD Canada Trust to name a few. The lineup for the event includes: Clifton David (opener), Leh-Lo Hill and The Sky Heroes, Opus Road, Chris Caddell and The Wreckage, and Grady. "We’re excited to be playing this event," says guitarist Jeff Mahoney, whose alt/hard rock band Opus Road paid college tuition by doing acoustic gigs. "The Queen West area is such a thriving organism of musicians, artists, writers and all-round creative types and it’s great that people are coming together to support that community." After graduating, the band went electric and won over Ontario audiences with their raw, melodic sound and killer live performances. Opus Road has performed for thousands of fans at shows and festivals all over the country including CMW, NXNE, The Ricoh Coliseum, and The Detroit Red Wings Stanley Cup Party in 2008. The band recently finished remixing/mastering their self-titled debut EP and will be embarking on an East Coast tour in September.
