Mark,

 

Perhaps you can circulate this story about our corporate band to your distribution list. Thanks!

 

Ottawa corporate rockers success!

Earlier this year,  BTI Systems--an Ottawa-based high tech company--entered a band in the “FORTUNE Battle of the Corporate Bands” contest. This annual event (this year marks the 10th edition) features the very best corporate bands in North America.  It was a great achievement to be named as one of the eight entrants in the eastern final, but Pete Dale and Dealmakers did not rest on their laurels. They competed against some highly talented bands at BB King’s in Nashville in June, and managed to win a  spot into the finals that will happen in early October at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. They were also honoured as being the first Canadian band to make it that far, so we are very proud of their achievement!

This is not only a great story, but also a great opportunity to showcase some local talent. Please reply to this email or contact John Mills at 613-796-8070 if you’d like more information. They will be playing a warm-up show at Greenfield’s Pub in Barrhaven on Wednesday, September 22nd so please come out and show your support.

 

 

See you soon

John

 

p.s. Maybe you can bring your harmonicas to Greenfields on September 22nd.
