One of the highlights of my year was performing at the 2012 Garden Party, hosted by Canadian entrepreneur and philanthropist W. Brett Wilson at his private residence in Calgary. It was a summer evening built entirely around a great cause — raising awareness and funds for youth mental health and eating disorders. What made the […]
