Berklee College of Music announced hat SIRIUS Canada will present “Canada Comes to Berklee”, a unique all-Canadian concert event on December 12 featuring The New Pornographers, k-os, and Bill King’s Saturday Nite Fish Fry. As part of the 2007-2008 Sovereign Bank Music Series, Canada Comes to Berklee will highlight these Canadian musical exports and call attention to the great influence Canadian music has had – and continues to have – on American popular music.
The event will give concertgoers a chance to experience some of the best indie pop, hip-hop, and blues artists to emerge from Canada in recent years. In addition, the Saturday Nite Fish Fry band will serve as the backing band for a number of Canadian Berklee students, who will open the show with a tribute to Canadian musicians. SIRIUS Canada’s Iceberg 95 host Steve Anthony will host the concert, which will also be broadcast live throughout North America on SIRIUS’ Iceberg 95 channel.
Canada Comes To Berklee takes place on Wednesday, December 12, 8:15 p.m., at the Berklee Performance Center, 136 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, MA.
