Theo Tams New Single
''Say My Name''
''Theo Tams has come such a long way since I was on the set of Canadian Idol interviewing the contestants for season 6,'' says Kim Cyr, Editor in Chief for NOW and THEN Magazine, host of the International Music's Journey Podcast, and radio/host on 91.3 FM Bluewater Radio.'' ''I chat with Theo about 13 years of his musical journey, the industry after Idol hurdles that he has faced personally, over-coming those hurdles and his vulnerability to share his story, and his amazing new music that we cover for you to hear in this interview. You are going to really enjoy this one.''
''Tams knows how to navigate around lyrics in a song and his creative artistry in his songwriting is the best he has ever been. Tams has always been an artist who focused on the delivery of every note that he sings with precision and his classical training brings that kind of discipline. It is so nice to see this new raspy, soulful side of his voice in his new music this year. I absolutely love this new texture in his voice that brings so much warmth and richness that is straight magic in these new songs. I think we are just seeing the tip of what Theo Tams is capable of. I am really excited to see what the next few years are going to bring from this incredibly talented artist,'' says Cyr.
Theo Tams will be releasing a special new single on Dec 1, 2021, that you don't want to miss so tune in for the celebration at https://theotamsmusic.com/.

Award-winning Canadian singers and songwriters come together nationally for the Saying Goodbye concert held in honour of National Grief and Bereavement Day.
Hosted by Tara Shannon, talent performing includes Johnny Reid, Gregory Charles, John McDermott, Michelle Wright, Fred Penner, Jenn Grant, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Ray Legere, and many more.
Saying Goodbye is a national concert on November 14 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. EST with performers from across each province and territory, held in honour and awareness of National Grief and Bereavement Day on November 16, 2021. The national virtual live stream can be found at Sayinggoodbyeconcert.ca. Saying Goodbye is hosted by the National Arts Centre (NAC) and presented by the Canadian Hospice and Palliative Care Association (CHPCA) in partnership with all provincial palliative care associations across Canada.
Tickets to the concert are free, donations are appreciated. Proceeds will be shared between the CHPCA and the appropriate provincial palliative care association. The 2nd annual event will feature various Canadian artists from across each province and territory, including notable talents like Johnny Reid, Gregory Charles, John McDermott, Michelle Wright, Fred Penner, Shari Ulrich, Jenn Grant, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Ray Legere, Tara Shannon and many more.
Saying Goodbye will provide a time and place to grieve for loved ones lost during COVID-19 as the pandemic prevented many from engaging in the usual process of letting go. The goal is to help normalize the conversation around the dying process and recognize grief and bereavement as a natural response to loss.
“There is never a good time to lose a loved one. The Saying Goodbye concert has the potential to create really great awareness around grief and bereavement as we experienced it as never before during this difficult time of social isolation,” says Laurel Gillespie, CEO of the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association.

Saying Goodbye Campaign
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were very stringent restrictions on end-of-life visitations which resulted in many people not being able to say goodbye to their loved ones. In reaction to this, the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association (CHPCA) and the CHPCA Champion’s Council announced the launch of the “Saying Goodbye” campaign in the spring of 2020. This campaign called on health authorities to implement a more compassionate approach to end-of-life visitations across Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many people were also unable to have funerals or celebrations of life events during the period of social distancing and isolation, which can have a profound effect on the grieving process. Saying Goodbye acknowledges the grief of those who have lost a loved one and are experiencing grief, specifically those affected by loss during the quarantine period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The message also applies to anyone dealing with grief and bereavement.
