Vish used to organize one benefit concert a month when he worked for CFRU. He called the series “RYV,” which stood for “Raise Your Voice.” Since leaving that position, he’s started his own series under the banner KYEO, which is a reference to a Fugazi song of the same name. Shows were at one point co-presented with John Bonnar of the University of Guelph’s Central Student Association, usually occur at the Ebar (41 Quebec St.) in Guelph, and beneficiaries include the Guelph Food Bank, Out on the Shelf, and the Canadian Cancer Society.
