Steve Bell
The Canadian Foodgrains Bank raised about $1,500 thanks to two sold out concerts by Christian artist Steve Bell. Bell travelled to Ethiopia in 2007 to learn about CFGB's work there, and returned with a desire to help end hunger. As a result, Bell and CFGB teamed up to create End Hunger Fast, a campaign focusing on food justice and how all people are connected. The campaign inspires people to donate, pray and fast in support of CFGB's efforts to end hunger around the world.
The concerts were held in November at Compass Point Church in Burlington and featured Bell along with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. Much of the music from the night was taken from his latest album, Symphony Sessions. Concert dates for 2008 have yet to be confirmed, but tentative shows are being researched for the West coast, East coast, Ottawa and Kitchener-Waterloo areas.
