BPAC favourite Classic Albums Live and its roster of A-list musicians from across the country will be performing Led Zeppelin’s Led Zeppelin II exactly as you remember hearing it, note for note, cut for cut.

Led Zeppelin II is the second studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 22 October 1969. The album exhibited the band’s evolving musical style of blues-derived material and their guitar riff-based sound. It has been described as the band’s heaviest album and since its release, various writers and music critics have cited Led Zeppelin II as one of the greatest and most influential albums of all time.

Founded in 2003 by Craig Martin, Classic Albums Live takes the greatest albums and recreates them live on stage – note for note, cut for cut, using the best musicians. “Think of it as a recital,” says Martin, “these albums are historic and stand the test of time.” Forgoing costumes and impersonations, Classic Albums Live has found success in concentrating solely on the music. “We don’t dress up or wear any sort of costume. We just stand there and play. All of our energy is put into the music. We want the performance to sound exactly like the album,” says Martin.

The Gift of Giving Back Weekend to donate at Fortinos (5111 New St, Burlington) 

The Gift of Giving Back (GOGB), founded in 2005, is an opportunity to inspire, support, educate and empower children through local minor athletics associations and school systems to compassionately give back to the communities.  The GOGB is the largest community food drive of its kind in Canada, with more than 4.6 million pounds of food raised and a direct community benefit of more than $14 million since its inception. We are making a real difference in the lives of those less fortunate in our community and teaches children the importance of giving back.  

As part of our 2024 campaign, various Burlington Barracudas and Eagles hockey teams will be outside of the entrances at the Fortinos (Appleby Line & New St) handing out bags and collecting cash donations.  Please help us feed those in need in Halton by filling a bag while you shop for your own groceries. 

You may have already seen the iconic blue bags around the city or on your doorstep.  The campaign will close on November 20 at Nelson High School.

Upon the birth of his daughter, Jeremy Fisher began writing and recording children’s music under the moniker Jeremy Fisher Junior to bring music and storytelling into her everyday life. Jeremy saw the many benefits music had for his daughter – it got her going, it calmed her down, it gave her a framework to express emotions and learn about the world. He knew music could give the same amazing benefits to other children.

In 2019, Jeremy began collaborating with Vérité Films and Hidden Pony Records to create Jeremy and Jazzy and bring his music to life through incredible animated characters that show us how feelings become songs, songs become stories, and music and friendship create joy. He is thrilled to reach more kids with the magic of music with the release of the animated series and Say Hello, a 26-song collection of Jeremy and Jazzy songs.

With the success of Jeremy’s debut children’s album, Highway to Spell, Jeremy performed his songs and stories to kids, parents, caregivers, and educators in theatre venues, festivals, schools and in online concerts reaching Canadians from coast to coast. His performances are entertaining and interactive and illustrate how music can help kids, parents, and everyone face their emotions. They also demonstrate that a visual element helps enhance the benefits of music for kids.
