Concert And Compilation Help War Child

Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor will perform a War Child Canada benefit concert at Toronto's Dakota Tavern on Jan. 20.

Tickets are $50 and can be purchased at the door on the night of the show. All proceeds will go to the registered charity that provides humanitarian assistance to war-affected children in some of the most devastated regions of the world.

Meanwhile, the long-anticipated Heroes compilation dedicated to raising money for War Child will be released on March 3. The album features current artists covering songs by their musical heroes. It was originally expected in November, but better late than never when it's for a good cause.
