Award Winning Canadian Artist Tara Shannon to Perform Charity Fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Windsor Essex
Award winning Canadian recording artist Tara Shannon is touring Canada in an effort to raise money and awareness for Big Brothers Big Sisters Agencies. In total Tara will be hitting 11 cities on THE BIG TOUR.
She will be in Windsor on March 7th, performing at the Rock Star Platinum Music Hall located at 2418 Central Ave. in Windsor.
Tara talked about her inspiration for THE BIG TOUR: “I got to know Big Brothers Big Sisters when I came on board as the Ambassador for the Morguard Be You Girl Campaign. I loved everything about their programs and mission statement from the onset and couldn’t believe they had been around for over 100 years which says so much.” She went on to add: “Mentoring is a core function of the work I do as a business consultant, label owner and mother of seven so it’s a natural fit for me and the power of mentoring cannot be overstated – it is truly life changing.”
Tara will be joined on tour with one of her very own artists that she has had an impressive hand in mentoring, Jessica Pearson and the Eastwind.
