DAVESTOCK

ONE DAY OF PEACE, LOVE AND APPRECIATION

SATURDAY JUNE 21 2025 | TBD | THE QUEENS hometown bar, BARRIE

THE EVENT & THE CAUSE

DAVESTOCK ~ a day of music, love and appreciation will take place on Saturday, June 22 at The Queens Hometown Bar (94 Dunlop St., Barrie). The event is organized by friends and family of David Yole, who passed away suddenly on Dec. 4, 2019. It will start at 2 p.m. with a slate of performers and bands scheduled to hit the stage. 

In keeping with Dave’s spirit, the event is free but donations will be gladly accepted. In addition, there will be a merch table – featuring bandanas, hats, pins and t-shirts – with all the proceeds going to the charity of choice again for 2025: Guilda's Club Simcoe Muskoka.

“Dave was a great guy who provided practice space and instruments for local bands and supported a wide range of fundraisers and charities like Gilda’s Club, Operation Hero, and Guitars for Vets,” said Nancy Blain one of the organizers and a former bandmate. “We wanted to have a fundraising event to acknowledge him and a day of music just seemed fitting. The date we picked is special too as Dave always organized an annual Summer Solstice concert in our neighbourhood for a local charity.”
