That’s 3 times more than last year!

(That’s $100 in canned food, $1,400 in cash!)  Thank you so much to everyone who came out, performed and just supported their local music community.  We can’t wait for next year.

Thanks again to our sponsors who helped make it all possible:  ZaZaZa Pizza with Pizzaz, Urban Capital, Metro News, Vertigo Records, Kelp Records, Quixotic Entertainment, Quoi Media, Gypsy and Company, Auntie Loo’s,  Slaysh, Kitchesippi Beer, Pressed Cafe, Partus Films, Halt Imaging, Valkaline.

A full recount of the evening is coming soon with links to blogs and photographers in attendance!

Also- if you missed out on Rock Lotto this weekend, Pretty Wolf is returning to the stage on Friday, May 25 at Zaphods.  Their proceeds are going to the Ottawa Food Bank via Rock Lotto too (continuing rock lotto tradition) . Invite yourself HERE.
