Glass Tiger lead singer Alan Frew has shared the stage with many big names in music, including Rod Stewart and Tina Turner, but on Thursday he’s set to perform in Winnipeg to help animals in need.
Frew is raising money for the National Pet Care Fund with an acoustic performance at Pony Corral Pier 7 on Thursday night.
“It was a no-brainer for me,” he said. “I love animals very much. I had my dear old dog of 15 years and my two kitty cats.
The National Pet Care Fund provides grants to low-income Canadians to help them cover the costs of urgent medical care for their pets.
“This National Pet Care Fund helps in these situations where people are struggling to try and meet the costs of what it’s like to care for your pets and I think it’s brilliant,” said said Frew.
At Thursday’s show, audience members can expect to hear some classic songs and hear some stories from Frew’s life.
