MuchMusic Does Winnipeg
The nations music station will roll into Winnipeg for a high profile concert featuring five local acts on August 12 at the West End Cultural Centre. Receiving some well-earned exposure on the Toronto-based television stations airwaves will be carnival roots act Nathan, indie rockers Sixty Stories, rock singer/songwriter Greg MacPherson, rock outfit The VaGiants and hip-hop artist Gruf the Druid. The event will be hosted by Vancouvers Chris Nelson, co-host of MuchMusics Going Coastal.
