With countless members of the Canadian music community impacted by COVID-19, actor, singer, activist and philanthropic tour de force Tom Jackson is rallying fellow artists to aid peers with the launch of a new digital variety series, Almighty Voices.

Certain to inspire, entertain, and inform audiences — and in support of the Unison Benevolent Fund, a non-profit registered charity providing counselling and emergency relief services to the Canadian music community — the hour-long video series will air 12 weekly episodes starting Sunday, April 5th, 2020 via YouTube and AlmightyVoices.ca

Hosted by Jackson, episodes will feature Governor General’s Performing Arts Award recipient, singer/songwriter and philanthropist Susan Aglukark, actress and singer Cynthia Dale, actress and singer/songwriter Beverley Mahood, multi JUNO Award-nominee Sarah Slean, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, multi JUNO Award-winner and Humanitarian Award recipient Chantal Kreviazuk, opera singer Measha Brueggergosman, multi JUNO Award-nominee and April Wine blues rocker/producer Myles Goodwyn, JUNO Award-winner Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, and more.

“‘Almighty Voice’ carries in its name the collective will to fight for one’s family — blood, or imagined,” Jackson shares of the initiative’s title, which is also a family name. “Its Cree translation is Gitchi Manitou Wayo, and was the name of my Great-Great-Great Uncle, a youthful hero whose passion to save his family from starvation turned into tragedy.”

To that, Almighty Voices shows “we’re all in this together,” says Jackson of the artist-lead project.

“In the wake of COVID-19’s impact on the music industry, we are incredibly grateful to partner with Tom Jackson to announce the launch of Almighty Voices,” says Unison’s Executive Director, Amanda Power. “Now more than ever, members of our music community are depending on the Unison COVID-19 Relief Program, and this initiative allows us to continue providing direct relief for music-makers and music professionals in this time of great uncertainty and need.”

Additionally, the Unison Benevolent Fund is part of the Spotify COVID-19 Music Relief Project; Spotify will match donations made via https://unisonfund.ca/donations/almightyvoices dollar for dollar up to a collective total of $10 million across their select partners.

Looking ahead, Almighty Voices will feature Canadian music — and the country’s spirit — at its finest, Jackson reveals.

“In addition to music and stories, we will share the wisdom of our Elders, express kindness, and explore essential ways to create health, and put health at the forefront, versus managing disease. While we learn how to determine what is urgent and important in this ever-changing time, the music community can engage people to leap, learn, laugh, and love. In return, the support received will ensure our music community survives. It is my hope the program connects us all.”

Both responding quickly to an unexpected crisis and inviting peers to contribute towards a notable cause are natural instincts and extensions of Jackson’s long-time philanthropic and fundraising efforts; to date, he has helped usher more than $230 million in funds and in-kind services to various charities and relief organizations.

Almighty Voices will launch with support from Universal Music, the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards, The Walrus, CPO, Joe Media Group, Eric Alper Public Relations, Echohill Web Sites, and Mobile Giving Foundation, in an effort to raise funds for the Unison Benevolent Fund.

// ABOUT UNISON

Unison Benevolent Fund is a non-profit, registered charity that provides counselling and emergency relief services to the Canadian music community. We are here to help professional music-makers in times of hardship, illness or economic difficulties.

For many, a career in music is a dream come true; however, the reality is that many members of the Canadian music community do not have access to the services that can make all the difference in a time of need: sick leave, medical benefits, pension plans, and unemployment insurance. Music makers can easily find themselves unprepared to deal with the financial and emotional burdens of an unforeseen emergency or illness. The Unison Benevolent Fund provides a lifeline in these times of crisis, and is there to ensure in the health of our friends, colleagues and collaborators.

The Unison Benevolent Fund is an assistance program – created and administered for the music community, by the music community – designed to provide discreet relief to music industry professionals in times of crisis. There are two distinct types of support available through the fund.

Financial Assistance: The Unison Benevolent Fund will provide emergency financial support to Canadian music-makers recovering from an illness, injury or other circumstances that result in an inability to work, severe economic or personal hardship.

Counselling and Health Solutions supported by RBC Foundation: Through voluntary and confidential support services, eligible Canadian music makers are able to access qualified professionals who can provide counselling and other resources to support individuals and their immediate family members dealing with mental health, legal guidance, family and relationships counselling, or work-related concerns.

The Unison Benevolent Fund is funded by support from individuals and industry organizations. All services and information is provided in English and French.

Unison will never charge dues or fees for membership or for access to any assistance program.

// ABOUT TOM JACKSON

“I am of the opinion that art is the single most powerful vehicle for change in the history of the human race.”

There are entertainment legends, and then there is Tom Jackson, a triple-threat actor, musician, and activist whose achievements in each discipline are downright head-spinning. His career is unparalleled, not to mention wildly acclaimed, abundantly decorated, and almost ridiculously interesting. Heck, he could be a pub night trivia category all by himself.

It’s impossible to regard Tom’s music separately from the other aspects of his remarkable career which include (but are not limited to) countless marquee TV roles on hit shows like North of 60, Shining Time Station, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Law & Order.  Guest roles in season four of Outlander and season three of Cardinal aired in early 2019, and season three of Red Earth Uncovered is due in 2020. There are also movies, most notably the dark comedy thriller Cold Pursuit, opposite Liam Neeson; other film compatriots include Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde, Kris Kristofferson, and Sissy Spacek (in 2012’s Deadfall), Bruce Greenwood (2005’s Mee-Shee: The Water Giant), and Bryan Brown (1999’s Grizzly Falls).

2018 marked the release of The Essential Tom Jackson, a dazzling two-disc, 21-track retrospective spotlighting his inimitable talent as a folk-pop singer/songwriter of the highest order and an artist intrinsically linked to the world around him, both the real and the ethereal.

Tom is understandably proud of all that. Yet it is his extensive charitable work — in particular, helming the long-running Huron Carole Christmas concert tours — that is arguably his crowning achievement.  With $230 million in combined cash/in-kind value for food banks and disaster relief raised to date, it’s no wonder Tom, currently an Ambassador for the Red Cross, has been inducted as an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2000, and received the 2007 Juno Humanitarian Award, and the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement in 2014.

For Tom, the act of giving comes naturally and spreads easily with his indefatigable energy to be on the look-out for those in need.  He volunteers regularly with Calgary’s DOAP Team (Downtown Outreach Addiction Partnership) that provides outreach to street impacted men and women caught in a cycle of addiction.  Sometimes known as a Minstrel with a Mission, Tom can be seen at various locations in Canada volunteering as an ambassador for the Canadian Red Cross.

Multiple additional honours, including the 2007 Gemini Humanitarian Award, have been bestowed on him over the years contributing to his status as one of Canada’s most influential, distinguished, and revered sons.

Johnny Cash’s Mercury Albums Newly Remastered For Comprehensive Six Album Vinyl And CD Box Sets, Announced For Release On April 21

In the mid-1980s as Johnny Cash found himself between labels, Mercury Records snatched up the country legend for what would end up being a prolific string of six albums in five years. The records, released from 1986 to 1991, were a diverse collection that included a notable reunion with fellow Sun Records alumni Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins, star-studded collaborations with Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney, Glen Campbell, Waylon Jennings, Emmylou Harris, Hank Williams Jr. and others, inspired takes on songs from Elvis Costello, Guy Clark and Harry Chapin, the Man in Black revisiting his classic hits, and some of the finest songs ever written by Cash. Despite the quality of material, Cash’s stint with Mercury has never been revisited—until now.

On April 24, Cash’s often overlooked and under appreciated chapter of his body of work will be showcased with a suite of releases including a comprehensive new box set, The Complete Mercury Recordings 1986-1991, and a new greatest hits album, Easy Rider: The Best Of The Mercury Recordings, a newly assembled collection that compiles 24 highlights selected from Cash’s Mercury catalog. Easy Rider will be released as a single CD, double LP and digital download.

The Complete Mercury Recordings 1986-1991, available on 7CD or 7LP on 180-gram vinyl, collects all six albums – Class of ’55: Memphis Rock & Roll Homecoming (1986), Johnny Cash Is Coming to Town (1987), Water from the Wells of Home (1988), Classic Cash: Hall of Fame Series (1988), Boom Chicka Boom (1990) and The Mystery of Life (1991), and –  that Cash recorded during his Mercury tenure and presents them together for the first time in a handsome slipcase emblazoned with the distinctive bold Cash logo. All of the albums have been remastered from the original Mercury master tapes by noted engineer Kevin Reeves at UMG Studios Nashville. The set was assembled by Grammy Award-winning producer Bill Levenson and features extensive new liner notes by veteran music journalist Scott Schinder.

Also on April 24, all of the albums will be released individually on 180-gram black vinyl, with Classic Cash: Hall Of Fame Series as a two-LP set. This marks the first time that Cash’s Mercury albums have been reissued.

The CD version of The Complete Mercury Recordings 1986-1991 is augmented with several rare or previously unreleased tracks and an additional 20-track disc of spare early mixes aptly titled Classic Cash: Hall Of Fame Series (Early Mixes), mastered from tapes newly discovered in the Mercury vaults. Although these never-before-heard versions are not included in the vinyl box, they’re being released on April 18 as a Record Store Day exclusive, as a stand-alone limited edition double LP.

While the mid ‘80s to early ‘90s saw Cash, who was still touring heavily, a bit creatively adrift, he never stopped making distinctive, personally charged music. Signing with Mercury after ending his almost 30-year relationship with Columbia, Cash’s output for Mercury demonstrated that his musical gifts remained as sharp as ever.

Cash’s first album for Mercury, the all-star session, Class of ’55: Memphis Rock & Roll Homecoming, reunited him with fellow Sun Records alumni Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and Carl Perkins. With veteran Memphis producer Chips Moman behind the board, the four singers tackle a mix of old and new material, including the Cash-led “I Will Rock and Roll with You” and the Presley tribute, “We Remember the King”. Another Elvis ode, John Fogerty’s “Big Train from Memphis”, features a vocal chorus that includes Fogerty, June Carter Cash, Rick Nelson, Dave Edmunds, Dan Penn and the Judds.

Johnny Cash Is Coming to Town reteamed Cash with producer “Cowboy” Jack Clement, who as Sun Records’ house engineer had overseen many of Cash’s ’50s sessions and written some of his early hits. The album’s studio team includes wife June Carter Cash and her singing siblings Anita and Helen and daughter Carlene Carter, Cash’s then son-in-law Marty Stuart, and Waylon Jennings, who lends his voice to the warmly nostalgic “The Night Hank Williams Came to Town”. Other highlights include rousing readings of Elvis Costello’s “The Big Light” and James Talley’s “W. Lee O’Daniel (and the Light Crust Dough Boys)”.

With Clement producing again, the star-studded Water from the Wells of Home features guest appearances by Cash’s wife June Carter Cash and daughter Rosanne Cash, along with Glen Campbell, Jessi Colter, the Everly Brothers, Tom T. Hall, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney and Hank Williams Jr. on an eclectic set of material including “That Old Wheel”, a duet with Williams that became Cash’s highest-charting single in over a decade.

Classic Cash: Hall of Fame Series finds Cash revisiting such vintage classics as “I Walk the Line”, “Ring of Fire”, “Folsom Prison Blues”, “Get Rhythm”, “I Still Miss Someone” and “Sunday Morning Coming Down” with considerable gusto.

With veteran Nashville musician Bob Moore producing, Boom Chicka Boom —named in honour of the trademark rhythm that Cash pioneered in the ’50s—is a straightforward vehicle for Cash’s talent, vision and humour. Highlights include the surreal Cash composition “A Backstage Pass”, a remake of Harry Chapin’s “Cat’s in the Cradle” and the poignant “Hidden Shame”, which Elvis Costello wrote for Cash. The CD of Boom Chicka Boom includes seven bonus tracks not on the original album, including several b-sides and early versions and the unreleased gem “I Draw The Line”.

The Mystery of Life, again produced by Clement, emphasized Cash’s own songwriting, e.g. “The Greatest Cowboy of Them All” and “I’m An Easy Rider”, while also dipping into the songbooks of Tom T. Hall and John Prine. The CD version of The Mystery of Life also includes Cash’s historic collaboration with U2, “The Wanderer”, which appears as an extended version previously released only on the soundtrack album of director Wim Wenders’ film “Faraway, So Close”. The song also closes out the best of collection.

The Complete Mercury Recordings 1986-1991 and Easy Rider: The Best Of The Mercury Recording represent an overdue deep dive into Johnny Cash’s Mercury catalog, revealing its importance as the bridge between his better-known work for other labels. As mentioned by Schinder in the box set’s liner notes, these recordings “stand as a notable transitional body of work, and an illuminating prelude to the full-blown creative resurgence that Cash would experience in the 1990s.”

Jessie Reyez Teams Up With VEVO To Present Official Live Performances Off Her Debut Album, ‘Before Love Came To Kill Us’

Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Jessie Reyez joined up with VEVO to present Official Live Performances of key tracks from her debut album, BEFORE LOVE CAME TO KILL US, out now.

It all went down in the SoCal desert, and the cameras caught all the feels of her emotionally candid songs coming to life. Through knockout lyrics and thoughtfully chosen set pieces, Reyez takes us through a story of shattered love, with key stops along the way. Frustration. Anxiety. Anger. Hatred. Loneliness.

If a little extra cash would make things easier right now, don’t assume that you could never qualify for a loan. There are lenders who are happy to consider applications from people who have less than ideal credit but do meet their basic qualifications. You’ll find that Magical Credit provides cash loans in Toronto through a network of lenders who offer solutions for most people.

One question that comes up frequently has to do with the amount and type of income that applicants bring to the table. Did you know that there are lenders who will consider multiple types of income? If the amount you receive each month meets the minimum required, you have an excellent chance of being approved. Here are some examples of income types that are likely to be considered eligible.

Income From a Job

If you are currently employed and receive a salary or hourly wage, you can bet that lenders will be willing to talk with you. Of all income sources, this is the one that every lender will accept. Provided you generate enough income from your job to meet the minimum set by the lender, it’s worth submitting an application. While there may be other factors that must be addressed, you can bet that issues surrounding your source of income will not be among them.

Your Monthly Private Pension Benefits

If you paid into a private pension and have now retired, the monthly disbursements from that plan may be sufficient to qualify for a loan. Many lenders do consider this type of income to be consistent and reliable. This is especially true if your pension benefits are deposited directly into your account each month.

As with other sources, the amount of the monthly pension payment will make a difference. As long as it’s enough to meet the lender’s qualifications, feel free to prepare and submit an application.

Ontario Child Benefits

Provincial benefits are often considered acceptable sources of income. The Ontario Child Benefit is a prime example. Administered by the CRA, this benefit may be sufficient to cover the amount of the initial loan as well as interest and any other applicable fees. If that’s the case, the lender will be happy to consider the amount you currently receive as part of your overall income.

Employment Insurance Qualifies Too

This temporary source of income is designed to help people who are not in a position to work for a variety of reasons. The issue may have to do with a temporary layoff, a mass layoff, the need to be away from work while caring for a loved one who is critically ill, or are out due to pregnancy.

If you are currently receiving EI benefits and need some cash to take care of a pressing need, there are lenders who will be happy consider your application. Depending on how much you receive, it may be enough along to meet the minimum income requirement and improve the odds of receiving a loan offer.

Old Age Security Payments

If you’re retired and your OSA is the primary source of income, rest assured there are lenders who are happy to consider it when evaluating your total monthly cash flow. Perhaps you work part-time and the funds from your job are not enough to qualify. By also including your OSA in the calculation, you could have enough money coming in to comply with the lender’s basic requirements. If so, it’s worth the effort to submit an application and see if you’re approved.

When preparing to submit an application to any lender even for a coronavirus loan, learn all you can about the requirements up front. Doing so will make it easier to understand the criteria that the lender considers important and how well you meet those qualifications. With a little advance preparation, the odds or being approved are higher and the money will be on the way in no time.

How Can a Musician Make Use of Temporary Office Space?

Part of being a working musician is traveling from one place to another. While travel can be broadening, it can also be grueling. There are things that must be done that don’t involve the time on stage. Some of those tasks can be managed by choosing to rent Agile office spaces for a short amount of time. Here are some examples to consider.

A Quiet and Secure Space to Meet With Journalists

An office or conference room setting is a great place to conduct live interviews with local journalists and reports. The question of how to structure the interviews depends a lot on how many people want to be included and how the musicians prefer to handle the requests. It’s possible to have several members of the media in at one time or to spend a little time with each one. In any event, the fact that the interviews take place in a business setting makes it easier to control who is present at any given time.

Doing Remote Meetings With Radio and Television Stations

Opting for a meeting room for rent that comes with online access and the right video equipment make it easy to set up remote meetings with all sorts of radio and television stations. That could include local stations that broadcast over the air as well as online. It could mean connecting to stations that operate completely in an online environment. This approach also makes it a lot easier to control how long the meetings last and who gets to participate.

Secure Space for Getting Together With Contest Winners

That same conference room could serve as the site where the musicians meet with local contest winners. Rooms of this type are typically large enough to set up a buffet and include comfortable seating for everyone. A relaxed setting makes it possible to visit with the winners and ensure they get to interact with the musicians without the presence of multiple reporters and others who might make them somewhat hesitant to converse freely.

Keeping the Business Away From the Hotel Room

It’s true that all of these events could be managed in a hotel lobby, banquet room, or similar space. What makes renting temporary office space such a good idea is that it removes all the events from the location where the musicians are hopefully going to enjoy some downtime and get a little rest before it’s time to hit the stage again.

Once the events are completed, it’s a bit like being able to return to the hotel and set the public persona to one side for a time. The chance to decompress and not be “on” is something that every performer needs now and then. In the interim, the crew can be packing up and take care of clearing out any props or other essentials that were used to prepare the conference room or office.

Temporary office space is not just for companies. It can serve as a great setting for musicians who are on the road. Consider this option and how it could fit into the plans for a tour. With the right approach, this could make things easier for the musicians, the road crew, and even for the promoters.
