All of us at YEG Live were proud to be involved with this past weekend's inaugural SOSFest in Old Strathcona, and we'd like to express our deep appreciation to all the fans and patrons who came out to enjoy and support local live music!

We'd have to say the festival was a big success and it's a safe bet that this will become an annual event.

Showcasing 157 bands in 21 venues plus two outdoor bandstands over 3 days would not have been possible without the support of all the festival musicians, the festival's 120+ volunteers, the hugely supportive sponsors, the venues, the Old Strathcona community, and the festival stakeholders: Darb Erickson from Responsible Hospitality Edmonton & Shirley Lowe and the staff from the Old Strathcona Business Association, the SOSFest organizing team: Sponsor Relations Brandi Sidoryk, Volunteer Management Amy Thiessen and Megan Young, Foundation Concerts: Brent Oliver and Caitlin North ... and of course our intrepid Festival Producer Kaley Bird, whose vision and persistence made this festival a reality.

Thanks again, Edmonton!
