By: Bruce Emberley –

Legendary pop crooner Andy Kim held his annual “Andy Kim Christmas Show” last night at The Phoenix in Toronto. Alongside him were many of Canada’s top musicians including Ron Sexsmith, Kevin Drew, Brendan Canning, Colin James, Neverending White Lights, Dan Mangan, Divine Brown, Snowblink, Mark Holmes (of Platinum Blonde) and more.

This year’s charity is Jeff Healey Park. Last year, the City of Toronto honored his memory by renaming Woodford Park, in the Queensway neighborhood of Etobicoke where Jeff grew up, “Jeff Healey Park.” “The late Jeff Healey was not only a towering figure on the Canadian musical scene.  For many around the world, especially for those people living with disabilities, the way Jeff overcame his blindness and achieved great things in his short life was an inspiration,” said Andy Kim.
