Everyone associated with The Movement Centre of
Manitoba is thrilled to be a part of Winn$tock 2013!
The Movement Centre is a non-profit charitable
organization dedicated to helping children and adults
with neuro-motor disabilities become more mobile and
independent with an innovative learning system called
Conductive Education.
Since 1998, The Movement Centre of Manitoba has
helped hundreds of Manitobans living with cerebral
palsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and acquired brain
injury gain or regain physical mobility as well as
achieve some form of functional independence and
increased confidence!
The Movement Centre is not government funded;
clients pay a program fee. Fundraising is essential to
our organization to ensure our programs are affordable
and accessible to all who can benefit from them.

the openersopening act number one:
the adjusted entries
opening act number two:
raito
the emcee
Although this group was issued very recently to the
Winnipeg scene, the Adjusted Entries manage a bal-
anced portfolio of music that reflects their rich range
of interests and experience. They are looking forward
to giving their second Winnipeg show, this time in
support of the Movement Centre of Manitoba.
melissa kovacs toews (Vocals)
phil colton (guitar)
dan christle (bass)
lorraine thibert (drums)
Winnipeg based Raito is a financial professional by
day and recording artist by night. His first album
Rock The Water was independently released late
in 2012 and is a guitar driven acoustic electric
experience with a hint of beer, vocal innocence, and
the resurgence of the long forgotten ‘guitar solo’!
find out more at www.raito.ca or check out
Rock the Water on itunes.

the judgesTracy Koga – Shaw TV
After a year hiatus, Tracy is back to Winn$tock, but this time as our Judge Moderator. Tracy is a former dancer with The Royal Winnipeg Ballet going through the school ranks, graduating right into the company. After dancing around the world, she settled down back in Winnipeg and landed an opportunity to work for Shaw TV covering arts and entertainment. For more than 10 years with Shaw TV, Tracy enjoys producing and hosting “Backstage” everyday, and working on TV specials that have taken her to Disney World, Churchill and The Pas in Manitoba’s north, and as far away as Israel. You may be tiny, but keep those judges in line, Tracy!
Brad oSwald – winnipeg free preSS
A Winn$tock judge since 2010, we are thrilled to have Brad back to share his combined love of music and love of critiquing with us once again. When Brad was a little kid, his mother used to stand cross-armed in the living room doorway, issuing an oft-repeated warning that went something like this: “If you insist on staring at that IDIOT box day after day, you will NEVER amount to ANYTHING in this world!” Funny how things work out, isn’t it?
For the past couple of decades, Brad has been the television critic for the Winnipeg Free Press, which basically amount to staring at the idiot box, day after day... and drawing a steady pay cheque for doing so. It’s a good gig!
Tom mcgouran – radio perSonaliTy
New to Winn$tock in 2013, we are pleased to welcome Tom to our judging panel. Tom has been playing on Winnipeg radio and telling bad jokes in the morning since the 80s, originally with Tom and Larry and for the past 19 years with Tom and Joe.
Tom is currently enjoying a paid year off by venturing out on the “Tom Got Fired World Tour”. He is engaged to be married this fall to the love of his life, Stacy, and then return to assault the Winnipeg radio airwaves by the end of the year.
Ken “Spider” SinnaeVe – loVerBoy
Give a warm Winn$tock welcome to Spider! He is a well known and respected bassist who lives in Winnipeg. A seasoned road warrior, his credits as a band member and sideman include some of the ultimate Canadian and international recordings with Streetheart, Tom Cochrane, The Guess Who, Kim Mitchell, Doc Walker and now Loverboy. Spider has done numerous TV, film and radio recordings and does frequent studio work in Winnipeg. He is also a songwriter and co-produced and wrote songs on several Streetheart recordings. Thank you for helping out our event, Spider! You ROCK in every way!

idolls
While walking the hallowed halls of the Great-West Life/Investors Group IT offices, a thought simultaneously
popped into the heads of the members of Google Dolls and it had nothing to do with computers. A decision was
made to form a secret society consisting of closet-rockers and put together a show to support a worthy cause.
At an undisclosed location from parts unknown, the iDolls began their rehearsals. Together these wandering
souls have found common ground in the fertile land of rock and roll on which they come together to kiss the sky!!
Together they make a big noise culminating in a sonic boom… C’mon... Let’s kiss the sky together!

the mad money
The Mad Money is bringing its financial related industry and assorted musical talents to the 2013 installment of
Winn$tock! “…like you know man…, when I heard that a worthy charitable event that aims to support folks with
disabilities was looking for rockers, I immediately saved my spreadsheet and got the band back together.”

mutual fun
“Mutual Fun”, the two words that strike fear into the hearts of music lovers across Winnipeg returns to
this year’s Winn$tock as a reunited, nearly original version of its former self. With the return of Captain
Jack Morris to the musical stage, the band proves that besides death and taxes, the only other sure
thing is a Mutual Fun.
