Jim Cuddy

We’re incredibly honoured that Jim Cuddy & Friends: Night of Country Classics was awarded Philanthropic Live Event of the Year at this year’s Live Music Awards, presented by the Canadian Live Music Association as part of Departure Festival + Conference.

Congratulations to all of the other deserving nominees. It’s inspiring to be recognized alongside so many meaningful and community-driven live music events from across the country.

Country Classics has always been about coming together through music in support of the Daily Bread Food Bank and we’re deeply grateful to the guest artists who generously donate their time and talent year after year, helping make this night so special.

Thank you as well to our incredible host band, crew, and everyone working behind the scenes whose dedication and musicianship help bring the event to life each year.

A special thank you to Starfish Entertainment for producing the event and helping make the evening possible.

And to the audience — thank you for bringing the warmth, energy, and heart that fills the room every year.

Grateful to be part of such an incredible community.
