Wendell’s been with Hugh’s Room from the start 11 years ago. He’s performed here many times in manycombinations and even filmed his Christmas special here. To honour his achievement, we've asked Wendell to assemble some of the acts he regularly plays with and put together a night of great music, but rather than make it all about him, he’s decided to make this a charity show.

Proceeds from the show are graciously being donated to the Unison Benevolent Fund. The Unison Fund is a non-profit organization that provides counseling, emergency relief and benefit programs for those in the Canadian music community who face personal or professional challenges due to hardship, illness, unemployment or economic difficulties.

-John Sheard & Dennis Pendrith (from the Vinyl Cafe Orchestra)

-Suzie Vinnick (10X Maple Blues Winner, 3X JUNO Nominee)
