"Connect The Dots" is a registered charity that operates entirely on volunteer help. They persevere with the simple yet vital objective to rescue good surplus food, and distribute it to the agencies that care for the people in need within the Algoma community.
As this need has grown, so has the abilities of Connect The Dots. Since 2017 they have delivered over 100,000 pounds of rescued food to various agencies, and expect to surpass this amount in this current year alone.
Connect The Dots ensures agencies such as Harvest Algoma, The Salvation Army, The Soup Kitchen, Vincent's Place and S.O.Y.A. and others are able to provide for those in need.
Black Fly Jam is proud to present this event to raise awareness and funds for Connect The Dots, and support their goal of the purchase of a delivery van to continue their mission of food rescue and delivery.

Tia McGraff and Tommy Parham
Tia McGraff’s star shot into orbit after winning the Canadian Open Country Singing Contest at the age of nineteen.
The trajectory took her onstage with icons like Johnny Cash and June Carter, writing and recording with Randy Bachman and working with Anne Murray’s publishing company. Nashville of course was the landing place for bright stars like Tia, where in due time she met and married Tommy Parham, a gifted writer, musician and performer in his own right. Together this duo has a gift for ‘getting to the heart of the matter’ and writing relatable songs about life, love and this crazy world we live in. Fans and industry notables alike have described them as “the modern day, Johnny Cash and June Carter!” Tia and Tommy have been touring internationally for twenty years, performing at soft seaters and festivals in the USA, Canada and The UK. A gifted author, Tia’s children’s book, Jake The Road Dawg (about the couple’s adopted Nashville Shelter pup who travels with them on tour) has helped raise funds and awareness for their local chapter of The Dolly Parton Imagination Library, The Niagara Falls Humane Society, and various animal rescue non-profit organisations.
With over ten international album releases, various film/TV placements, and numerous awards (including Social Justice 2021 and Peace 2022, Songs of the Year at the EmPower Songwriting Awards, Tia and Tommy have earned respect in the music industry and a huge global fan base.
