Bear Witness adds, "Anything is possible. Any of us can do this. When you're not given those opportunities, you can create those opportunities for yourself." Concert for A Cure continued Friday evening with more great performances by Logan Staats, as well as Rob Lamothe opening for JUNO award-winners Digging Roots. Saturday ended the 3 day music festival with special guest host, YouTuber Nicole Arbour introducing acts James Favron, Innersha, AK Mcleod Blues Band, Soul Sistas & The Junction, The Zilis, Robbie Antone Blues Band, Khamel-Eon ft. Errol Starr Francis, Leah Belle, and Jace Martin and the Pace. The festival concluded with a special intro with the Redrum First Nations MC for Canadian rock legend David Wilcox. "Pretty much every indigenous band that you can name on Six Nations played on our stage at one point or another. It makes me feel so proud," Martin said of the event, "We've had all the mainstream headliners and it's a matter of bringing these guys in to get the experience with the emerging guys. That's the opportunity that we get to provide and it's pretty exciting." "It is so important for our community to come together in unity and celebrate, support and encourage one another's talents to build one another up and feel involved in something larger than ourselves," concert-goer Sara Doolittle shares, "My happiness overwhelms seeing others so happy, unable to stop themselves from letting the music take over!" Concert for a cure's sponsors this year includes the Six Nations Community Youth Outreach, Heritage Canada, Celebrate Ontario, Two Row Times, Six Nations Council, Union Gas, and the Dreamcatcher Fund. The Youth Empowerment Summit was presented by Thru The Red Door with partners McMaster University, Two Row Times, The Remix Project, RM Comedy, Woodland Cultural Centre and Six Nations Council.
