‘Dreamforreal’
The trip to Ottawa was a smash. Dreamforreal performed their song ‘Stand Together’ to a very welcoming and enthusiastic crowd at the Canadians for Obama Rally at the First Baptist church on Laurier Drive in Ottawa. Ken Sherman Called to order, Reverend Hunter welcomed everyone. Moving speaches were given by Adrienne Jones, Rick Smith, June Girvan and David de Weerdt. A vibrant and sensational reading was given by Poet ‘Oni’ and ’The Cunningham Sisters’ sweet voices graced the stage with an original composition about Barack Obama. There were smiles, tears and plenty of hugs to go around and now Dreamforreal is back in Halifax and after an appearance at the Unitarian Church fundraiser on February 14th, they are working on new material and arranging future performances.
‘Stand Together’ has been performed at the ECMA’s, the 2008 Human Rights Rally, an Inauguration event for U.S. citizens abroad and at the IWK Children’s Hospital in celebration of their 100th Year Anniversary. The video was featured as video of the week for Martin Luther King Day in The Haligonia, an online news letter. The song also received national media attention when performed at an Obama Rally in Ottawa and is currently being used as the opening music for the program ‘Inner Connection’ on CKDU radio. This great universal and inspirational song is certainly starting to make an impression.
