Music fans and community supporters alike are invited to celebrate the season at the 14th annual Classic Albums Christmas Concert, returning Saturday, December 5 at the Croatian National Home, 6 Broadway, Welland.
Known for its unique blend of live music and community spirit, the one-night-only concert brings together talented musicians from across Niagara to recreate some of rock’s most iconic albums and performances. This year’s lineup features:
- Beastie Men performing Hits of the Beastie Boys
- Dontch Go On Me performing Pearl Jam VS
- Hot and Fussy performing Killers Hit Fuss
- Lakini’s Juice Box performing Live Throwing Copper
- Supersonic performing Hits of Oasis
What began as a gathering of friends sharing their passion for music has grown into a beloved annual tradition. Over the past 14 years, Classic Albums Christmas has raised thousands of dollars for The Hope Centre while celebrating more than 55 legendary albums.
“The support this event receives from the community continues to amaze us,” said Kelly Jones, member of the organizing committee. “We’re grateful to everyone who helps make it possible and excited to welcome people back for another great night of music in support of The Hope Centre.”
Jones says supporting The Hope Centre has always been at the heart of the event. “We know many individuals and families in Welland are struggling with the rising cost of food,” Jones added. “Every ticket sold and every dollar raised helps support local food security programs and ensures our neighbours have access to food when they need it most.”
“The commitment behind this event is truly remarkable,” said Jennifer Sinclair, Community Engagement and Development Manager at The Hope Centre. “The funds raised help support our food bank and community lunch program, which thousands of people rely on each month. We are grateful to these musicians and volunteers for helping ensure no one in our community faces hunger alone.”
