“When you better yourself, you better the world. Even if you only interact with one person in your life, the effect of trying to see things for what they are is vast. Change can feel like a fantasy, but I’m not fatalistic about it. I make music because I get results that way. It’s why I promote creativity, whatever that means for anyone.” - Yves Jarvis
Jeremy Drury of The Strumbellas has released his debut solo album, ‘Company Store’
“Reflecting on world events and global movements over the past few months has been a very enlightening, challenging, and inspirational experience for me. Recognizing the opportunities provided to me through good people being selfless, my benefit from the generosity, charity, support, and encouragement from my communities have shaped who I am as a person. A person who now finds themselves in a unique position, a person interested in helping provide some of the opportunities I've been afforded, to others.
Inspired both by those who came before me and those currently redefining what "business as usual" means, I've decided to donate 100% of proceeds from the first month's sales and streaming revenues from my first album "Company Store", to the following charities:
MusiCounts, Nia Centre for the Arts, The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund, and Canadian Music Therapy Fund.
I believe music and the arts have the power to heal. To inspire. To bring us closer together. I believe these organizations represent a broad cross-section of that kind of positivity being fostered in our communities. “ - Jeremy Drury
