Anthem IMF 2009 Touring Band

Congratulations to Nights and Weekends - The World Touring Act for the 2009 Music Festival! The group completed a successful tour in September and October 2009. As the tour recipient, Anthem launched these artists' international music career as the group embarked on a mini world tour, including capstone performances in Cape Town, South Africa. Nights and Weekends performed a series of shows at the world-renown Wadda Bar and shared the stage with some of South Africa's greatest musicians. While on tour, they had additional performances at University of Cape Town, in two townships, live on the radio and more. All international travel and accommodation expenses were a part of this tour, including a safari.

Nights and Weekends
Toronto, Canada

Nights and Weekends was born early in 2008 when producer Mike Gonek and singer-songwriter Brendan Beamish committed their full time and energy to doing what they love, making music. Inspired by living young in the city, Nights and Weekends deliver a sound unlike anything being done in Canada right now. With the addition of Jermaine Hamilton, Nights and Weekends' "pop scene, rock action" style has been tearing up stages all over Toronto. Nights and Weekends' dance beats and party anthems keep crowds singing along all night. These three individuals come together to form a unique group of young men with the potential to capture hearts all over the world. Unlike many pop acts, they create their own music and they carry it with authority. Each member is incredibly talented in their own right. But together, the whole is infinitely greater than the sum of its parts. But if you really want to know what Nights and Weekends are all about, all you have to do is listen!
