How Classified Is Helping Fort McMurray

Classified

Classified

East coast rapper Classified was moved to action by the wild fires that engulfed Fort McMurray, Alberta to the point where he donated the proceeds of new song “Work Away” to area disaster relief initiatives.

It turns out, like most easterners, he has close connections to the Fort Mac.

He explained this all to me in a feature interview for Samaritan Mag.

Drummer Jeff Burrows is probably best known as one-third of the Can-Rock band The Tea Party as well as being a local Windsor area radio personality. It’s a different line on his resume which might be his most impressive, though — once a year he drums for 24 hours straight to benefit local Windsor-area charities.

I spoke to Burrows about how he trains for this and why he does it in a feature interview for Samaritanmag.

Doobie Brothers

The Doobie Brothers are going to be doing a thing when they’re on tour this summer where they’ve teamed up with charitable organization Love Hope Strength to help find bone marrow donors.

The band’s gesture has already saved at least one life and they’re hoping to save more.

I spoke to band original member Patrick Simmons about how charity has informed the band’s entire career.
