Alert the Media: Sherri Woodstock Release

Amy Doary at MuchMusic, who has fond memories of working stories with Sherri, is helping to get the word out on Sherri Woodstock. Here's her press release for the event, just out today:

Toronto, ON (September 23, 2008) – To celebrate the life of Toronto Sun Music Writer Sherri Wood (above), the inaugural Sherri Woodstock concert will be held October 5 at The Opera House (735 Queen St. E.) in Toronto. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.

Sherri was a lover of music, in all its forms, shapes, and volumes. She was a fan and champion for many independent bands in the Greater Toronto Area. Now some of those bands will play at this very special celebration of her life, including Classic Albums Live, with a special Led Zeppelin set, Five Blank Pages, The Little Millionaires, Dani Strong, Franky Moonlight, and The Overtones.

Tickets can be purchased at ticketpro.ca for $20 + service fees. No tickets will be sold at the door so orders should be placed now. This event is for 19+ only.

For more information, please visit sherriwoodstock.blogspot.com or the Sherri Woodstock Facebook page.

Toronto Sun music writer Sherri Wood left her mark on all those around her with her warm smile and musical penmanship. A major supporter of the Toronto music scene, Sherri Woodstock has been put together by her family and friends to honour her life and love of music. Sherri passed away in March 2008 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was only 28.

Proceeds from the concert will be donated to the Sherri Wood Memorial Fund.
