Chuck Comeau recently flew from California to Montreal for a couple days – and one of the reasons why he’s currently there has been revealed yesterday. Last night, Saturday May 12th, Chuck and Jeff took part in the charity event organized by Fondation Evenko in Place des Arts’ Théâtre Maisonneuve.
The event celebrated the talent and hard work of over 200 students from the Fondation Evenko program, which offers free singing, guitar and scene oriented visual arts classes to young Montrealers facing the risk of dropping out of school, giving them a place to practice their talent and improve their future prospects.
On Instagram, Jeff joked that it was Chuck who convinced him to appear at this event “because he missed him”. The truth is, Simple Plan often get involved in causes like this, since helping young people find passion in life through the practice of music is one of the goals of their Simple Plan Foundation:
During the evening, the talented students were accompanied by various local musicians including singer Marc Dupré, musician La Bronze and others with a special surprise appearance by popular singer Marie-Mai and Jeff Stinco and Chuck Comeau from Simple Plan, who accompanied her on guitar and drums respectively and together they performed a ‘Pierre-less’ version of Simple Plan’s song ‘Jet Lag’ (Marie-Mai previously sang the female parts on the official French version of this song).
Check out a short video of the final part of their performance, after which Marie-Mai introduced Chuck and Jeff to the audience:
And while we’re still waiting for some more official HQ photographs from this event, you can have a look in our gallery for some first snaps of Chuck and Jeff from last night that have already appeared online:
