Matthew Osborne Kitchener Memorial Show Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario: The Matthew Osborne Kitchener Memorial Show will celebrate the life and music of the late Matthew Osborne, one of Kitchener-Waterloo's most talented musicians.

The Pavilion is located at 80 Schneider Avenue, in Kitchener's Victoria Park. The show will run from 3:00 pm until 10:00 pm. The cost has been set at $5, although organizers promise no one will be turned away. As testimony to the number of lives Matt touched during his too short life, The Matthew Osborne Kitchener Memorial Show is just one of three shows paying tribute to Matthew. Memorial shows are also being planned in Toronto and Guelph. "Matthew John Osborne was an ever-present fixture almost anywhere live music was played in K-W for the last decade," states Brent Hagerman, a guitar player in one of Matt's bands and Echo Magazine editor, adding, "Besides being an immensely talented singer, songwriter, guitarist and writer (Matt contributed Echo's first ever wrestling story), Matt worked tirelessly at helping younger musicians gain exposure and confidence." The City of Kitchener is donating the use of the venue at no cost. Sherwood Systems is donating all the necessary sound equipment needed to run the Kitchener memorial show. At the time of his death, Matt was working on a CD, presently being completed by his band mates. All proceeds from the memorial shows and CD will go to the Matt Osborne Musicians Trust Fund.
