The Calgary-raised, Toronto-based musician will appeal to the goodwill of fans with two initiatives benefiting several charities during her 13-city excursion.
Concertgoers are being asked to bring non-perishable food items and/or monetary contributions to show venues, where local representatives of the Canadian Association of Food Banks will be on hand to collect donations. One person each night will win an article of limited-edited Feist memorabilia.
As well, all the proceeds from Feist merchandise sales throughout the tour will go to CARE Canada, Doctors Without Borders and War Child Canada.
Feist is backing her third album, "The Reminder," which was released last year and earned the singer-songwriter five Juno awards in April.
