The light will be on Calum Graham and Don Ross at an awareness and fundraising event for Lyme Light.
The guitar virtuosos are sharing the stage at Kaleidoscope Theatre on Thursday, January 23, in support of Lyme disease awareness.
“The concert on January 23, is to celebrate the art of music. Lyme Light enjoys providing information about the disease through uplifting means. I always think live music is important, so to combine a concert and information about Lyme is a two-fold plan,” said Jillian Augey of Lyme Light.
She has been following Graham’s career for years and he offered to lend support to the show.
“I saw his talent and was inspired to continue following his career. When I told him I was suffering from Lyme disease and was hoping to help others learn about it through arts and music, he felt he could help,” said Augey.
Graham, 22, was raised in High River and has already released four albums, including one with Don Ross. He is signed to CandyRat Records and has been busy building an audience. Now based in Toronto, he has shared the bill with artists such as Serena Ryder K-Os and Ron Sexsmith.
Augey said the goal of Lyme Light is to spread awareness and it is paying off, helping people understand vector–borne illness, and go and get the proper testing.
“There is a Lyme epidemic happening, and at least five people have tested positive and are really sick in our area. We just want to provide info so community members understand the illness, how to help sufferers, and how to protect themselves from it,” said Augey.
The show is on Thursday, January 23, at 7:30 p.m. at Kaleidoscope Theatre. Tickets are available at Shredz and Fine Photography.
“We will have information packets at the concert for anyone wanting more information about vector-borne illnesses,” said Augey.
