Next weekend, Eric McCormack brings two nights of music and storytelling to the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage, in support of Prostate Cancer Canada. “The Concert I Never Gave… (except for, like 2000 times in my bedroom)” is the Emmy-winning star of “Will & Grace” and “Perception”, charity tribute to the memory of his parents, who both died of cancer. Already a sell-out concert in Los Angeles and Toronto, McCormack brings the show home to Vancouver August 5th and 6th.
Featuring familiar music from 70’s and 80’s icons like Elton John, The Who, Billy Joel, Burton Cummings and Queen. Throughout the two-hour performance, Eric weaves tales of growing up in the suburbs, along with insider anecdotes about Will & Grace, becoming friends with Elton John, meeting Pete Townsend and more. It’s like a autobiographical “This is your Life” episode filled with great stories plus in a concert featuring McCormack and his “uber” house band including musical director Loren Gold, keyboardist for The Who, Tyler Stewart, drummer for the Barenaked Ladies and Murray Foster, bass player for Great Big Sea in the intimate Stanley Theatre Stage.
Losing his parents to cancer makes the choice of charity very important to Eric, all proceeds will be donated to Prostate Cancer Canada.
“The Concert I Never Gave… (except for, like 2000 times in my bedroom)” takes place two nights only, August 5 & 6, 2016 at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage, 2750 Granville Street.
