FEED NOVA SCOTIA is a charitable organization that helps feed hungry people by collecting and distributing food to more than 150 member agency food banks and meal programs, while at the same time striving to eliminate chronic hunger and poverty through research, awareness and support programs. After strong food collections around Christmas, Canadian food banks are often low on resources at this time of year which makes this initiative valuable to the Halifax community.

HOUSE OF DAVID GANG
Throughout
their career House of David Gang has been known for their uplifting
roots rock reggae sound reminiscent of Kingston, Jamaica's music scene
in the late 70's & 80's highly influenced by the works of Bob
Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Dennis Brown and Gregory Isaacs mixed
with a modern roots Canadian feel. The band takes its name from The
House of David, an after-hours spot on Queen Street West that was a
hotspot for artists from the city's burgeoning Rastafarian and reggae
community from the late 80s until the mid 90s.
Touring behind their brand new album "Reggae Warrior,"
House of David Gang have lived up to their namesakes as Canada's busiest
reggae act with over 65 club and festival tour dates in 2013, multiple
television appearances, and 3 charting singles "Rain" "Reggae Party" and
"Best I can be." CBC Toronto host Matt Galloway says "One of the
most interesting reggae bands in the country" and Exclaim Magazine says
the album "Reggae Warrior works to remind the reggae faithful of the
earthy Queen Street West live vibe, while at the same time showing that
the band's potential to deliver a modern classic."
