3 Surprise!!! United Way Community Builder Award

  • 2011-11-06

  • · Brothers Dube · Community · Hockey · Press

We were at Scotiabank Place, getting ready for a performance for the United Way (Sens Sational Sunday). We’re testing our new git’awkee sticks (more on that later). After our sound check we go down to ice level to relax. There are a bunch of announcements… United Way thanks its donors and volunteers with events like these to show their appreciation to those who help make Ottawa a better place.

While we listen to the announcements, we hear about the Community Builder Award, which honors Ottawa’s outstanding volunteers who make Ottawa a better place. Award recipients are also honored by having their names inscribed on the Wall of Inspiration at Ottawa City Hall. That’s pretty cool. While we listen to all this, (Quinn staring at the Jumbotron wondering how long until we eat, Jan trying to remember where he put those square batteries that go in his wireless transmitter, and Liam wishing he had access to Wi-Fi), suddenly we hear the name of the winner,  “THE BROTHERS DUBE!!!”

In perfect Harmony, Quinn, Jan, and Liam say, “Hunh?”

Jan had only a few words to the crowd, “I’m really glad to see people are recognizing these efforts.”

Thank you from all of us to the kind folks at the United Way and CJOH for taking the time to recognize us. You folks are a class act…

In March 2011, we were interviewed by Marcia Pilote on the CBC French television program “C’est ça la vie.”

See the interview here.

In the video, you can see us at home, practicing in the basement studio, recording at Prescott Sound, busking on Sparks Street, and playing a gig at the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa. You can even see us snowmobiling and pillow diving!

The interviewer, Marcia, will tell you that you can visit us at BrothersDube.com… uh, but you probably already know that, hunh?  Heh heh…

We met our $100,000 milestone for Haiti on March 13 at a fundraiser at the Heart and Crown in the Byward Market, Ottawa.

We have been in the recording studio and are releasing an album in May. We will donate 50% (that’s half) the proceeds to Haiti, which will be matched by Arcade Fire. We recently co-wrote a song with Sean Verreault of Wide Mouth Mason.  He’s pretty cool!

We recently posted a video “Boom Boom – Out go the Lights” bringing some awareness to safety in hockey (concussions) which was featured in the Globe and Mail two weeks ago.

We are getting ready for another year of busking and touring. We plan a tour in our ancestral (that’s old) homeland Ireland in late August, as we meet our musical relatives. The tour will continue to raise money for Haiti.

During all that, we will continue to film a documentary about our crazy journey. Part of that will include a trip to Haiti to visit the House of Hope Orphanage, the orphanage for which we raised money.

Our school grades are good, we do our chores, and we are fortunate to be in good health. We spend as much time as possible at the cottage, chilling, playing music, and just being kids. Music is a lot of fun and we enjoy that it makes people smile, but it has to be fun – something we love doing.

Thank you all for being our fans, watching our videos, and sending your encouragement.  High five to you all!!!

What kind of buskers use stage monitors? That was the question I asked myself last summer as I passed an impressive trio of wee lads just outside the Bluesfest grounds.  Shortly afterward, the story about local rockers the Brothers Dubé hit the front page of a local paper with this epic picture.  Those sweaty folks in the picture (aside from the wee lads) are Grammy Award-winning Canadian ‘indie’ darlings Arcade Fire, who, after their own show on the main stage, jumped the security fence to…

Stuntman Stu looks great in his new “The Dube Brothers” toque!

Yours should look pretty much like this, with the lettering the right way around :-) , although not as good looking as the Stuntman!

The Dubé Brothers are an inspiring trio of young, devout rockers with both the instrumental skills and musical merits needed to take them to the top. What began as YouTube performances for their mother has now blossomed in to a major musical endeavor, championing some seriously worthy causes including funding cancer research, inspiring other young Ottawa musicians, and even traveling to Haiti in support of a local orphanage & Children’s hospital.   Read More…

Pint-sized buskers draw big crowds at Bluesfest

The Dubé Brothers have been drawing big crowds — and music sensations like Arcade Fire — to their late-night busking shows on Wellington Street and, Bruce Ward writes, these pint-sized performers deserve all the happiness that comes their way.  Unfortunately, the original article is no longer available on the Ottawa Citizen Web site.
