“I think it is safe to say that Big Rock Brewery makes Calgary’s favorite beer. Since the start, its customers have been its biggest promoters. Long before it became known as crowdsourcing, Big Rock thought up creative ways to involve those promoters in its brand.”

Not every runner can say they did this!
Big Rock Untapped was created to build on Big Rock’s sponsorship of the JUNO Awards. The intent of this music program? To support Canadian artists who need a leg up to reach the next level of their career so that one day soon they may also be a JUNO Award nominee.
Michael Bernard Fitzgerald is an up-and-coming musical force to be reckoned with. Since his modest first show at a tiny folk club in 2005, this Big Rock Untapped artist vaulted to the heights of Virginfest 2009 and beyond. MBF is quickly outgrowing his hometown of Calgary. As a musician, MBF is known for rallying the music community and bringing them together.
Inspired by his Love and Manners show which combined Michael’s compelling songwriting and stage performance with a supporting group of 120 local dancers, singers and musicians, Michael Bernard Fitzgerald & The Loud Love Choir will draw on the Love and Manners concept by taking a choir of 25 along with MBF on a five city, six show tour of Western Canada. This choir will accompany Michael in the performance of his songs as their voices provide the musical beds behind his guitar and voice. The tour will showcase MBF’s song writing talent along with his keen musical ear to create a night of explosive and unforgettable musical entertainment.
