Past performers have included Barenaked Ladies, Broken Social Scene, Alex Lifeson, Men Without Hats, Dan Hill, William Prince, Molly Johnson, Billy Talent, Kim Mitchell, Serena Ryder, Tom Cochrane, Burton Cummings, Cowboy Junkies, Nelly Furtado, and Dallas Green.

“We’re honoured to be the beneficiary of the first-ever Andy Kim Christmas event in Vancouver in an inspiring evening of music and generosity,” said Andrea Tang, CEO of Variety – the Children’s Charity of B.C. “This support helps us change the lives of children and youth with disabilities and complex health needs across B.C., ensuring they have the opportunities they need to thrive.”
Zoie Starks, CEO of The Legacy Loog Foundation, added: “We are thrilled to bring this treasured event to the West Coast, and with Andrew Loog Oldham and his vast network of friends, audiences can expect some special surprise guests. It’s a celebration of music, generosity, and community that investors, media, and fans will be proud to be part of.”
Cory White, CEO of Shocore Music, “We are incredibly honoured to work alongside Andy Kim, the Legacy Loog Foundation, and Variety – the Children’s Charity, to help facilitate the first-ever Andy Kim Christmas on the West Coast. It is truly a privilege to help bring together musicians and our community, to share their time and generosity, as they put the needs of children first.”
To maximize donations for this this year’s event Andy has enlisted long-time friend, Grammy award winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Andrew Loog Oldham and The Legacy Loog Foundation to help him acquire some incredible one-of-a-kind music memorabilia and online auction items. So far, donations have been made from globally renowned super stars such as: Peter Frampton, Paul Rogers (Bad Co.), Mike Reno (Loverboy) and Peter Noone (Herman’s Hermits), photographer Gered Mankowitz, as well as WestJet airlines and a special thanks to Music Royalties Inc. for allowing the use of the recently recovered Rod Stewart film “Rod the Mod”. We look forward to listing many more donors and sponsors in the coming weeks. The Andy Kim Christmas online auction details can be found here: Andy Kim Christmas Auction
