Canadian Musicians Produce a Song for Haiti Relief Efforts

January 12, 2010 – a magnitude 7.0 earthquake reduced Port-au-Prince, Haiti to rubble.  In the days following this catastrophic event, many individuals and organizations came together to provide comfort, aid and support for a country in need.

Responding to the cries for help, the Calgary music community has banded together to create and produce a song in support of Haiti relief efforts.  HEARTBEAT FOR HAITI features the contributions of local emerging artists representing a full spectrum of musical genres, from Pop to Rock, Folk to R&B.  Proceeds from sales of the song “I Wrote You A Song” and supporting compilation CD will go to World Vision Canada and the Canadian Red Cross.

Who is HEARTBEAT FOR HAITI?  Produced at The Beach Recording Studio in Calgary, Alberta, this song was written by local emerging artists Amy Heffernan, Jessica Day and Steve Dodd.  It is our contribution to the rebuilding of Haiti and also an opportunity to expose the exceptional talent of our local music scene.

Artists on this project are:

AMY HEFFERNAN
JESSICA DAY
TOBY MATHIS
ZOE THEODOROU
BROKEN RIDE
SHAINOOR SAMJI
THE RUSSELL BROTHERS
