Faber Drive added to Memorial Cup lineup
4/26/2010 at 6:00 PM
Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else yet, but at Memorial Cup volunteer orientation this afternoon it was mentioned that popular BC band Faber Drive has been added to the lineup of bands that will be performing in Brandon during Memorial Cup week next month.
The event had already secured two of the better Canadian classic rock acts in Randy Bachman and Tom Cochrane.. Faber should compliment them well for someone that's looking for a more current mainstream Canadian act.
During the Memorial Cup there will be what's called the Molson Canadian Hockey House in the Manitoba room. More details will come out in the next couple weeks i'm sure, but my understanding is that it will be like one big party/sports bar being run but some well known people in the local restaurant business. Each night during Mem Cup week there will be a different band performing after that night's hockey game is over.
As is the case when you're putting on ANY mainstream event, you can't come up with musical acts to meet everyone's specific tastes but in stead try to sign enough acts to cover a wide enough spectrum. The addition of Faber goes a long way towards doing just that IMO
