RUSHFEST CANADA – IN CONVERSATION with Steve Brown and Paul Beaulieu

This week, RUSHFEST CANADA – IN CONVERSATION with Steve Brown and Paul Beaulieu

Taking place Friday, August 1 at Massey Hall and Saturday, August 2 at TD Music Hall, this two-day event marks 10 years to the day since Rush played their final concert in Los Angeles on August 1, 2015—and brings together fans, friends, collaborators, and tribute artists.

Curated by RUSHfest Scotland founder Steve Brown and Canadian superfan and music journalist Paul Beaulieu, RUSHfest Canada is more than a fan convention—it’s a legacy event with heart, history, and an extraordinary mission: all profits will be donated to Brain Cancer Research at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto in honour of Neil Peart.

Steve Brown is a lifelong musician from Scotland who launched RUSHfest Scotland in 2014, inspired by his late songwriting partner Angie Townsend, who passed away from cancer in 2016. To date, the events and albums have raised over $265,000 CAD for cancer charities. His tribute band, Moving Pictures, will perform. https://www.movingpicturesuk.com/

Paul Beaulieu is the founder of The Canadian Music Scene and a longtime Rush historian. He has interviewed band members, road crew, and chronicled Rush’s rise through Canadian and international media. https://thecanadianmusicscene.com/
