WINNIPEG --
Winnipeg’s Good Will Social Club has turned the pandemic concert on its head, giving community groups a voice, musicians a platform and is filled with the comedic musings of puppets.
The Good Will Stay at Home Club is a variety show that incorporates both music and information. The first episode was live-streamed a couple of weeks ago, and despite some technical difficulties, was well received, according to co-creator Cam Loeppky and Mike Requeima.
“We wanted it to be a live show with live bands, but we thought who wants to sit and watch a concert in their living room for like an hour,” said Loeppky. “So, we wanted to break it up with silly things to distract your attention from the show, then when the band came back on you’d be more engaged.”
