For 24 hours a Winnipeg band will literally rock around the clock in support of Winnipeg Harvest's fall Share Your Thanks campaign.

Beginning tonight at 9 p.m., local rockers The Treble will be playing a total of 24 short acoustic sets every hour at various venues and locations throughout the city.

The purpose of this event is to garner donations in exchange for advertising opportunities. In addition to the publicity resulting from participation as a performance location, this entire event will be documented and transformed into a music video that will showcase these local businesses in their collaborative effort to support this cause.
