Keiran Tate

Keiran Tate was a talented young guitar player from Spruce Grove, Alberta who passed away suddenly at the age of seventeen. He is dearly missed by his mom, sisters, friends and family. While we will never know the impact this young man could have had, he will leave his mark in the music world through the Keiran Tate Memorial Fund.   Donations to the Keiran Tate Memorial fund can be made by contacting:  info@schoolofsong.com

Keiran’s mom, Dana, established the fund and chose The School of Song as recipient. The Keiran Tate Memorial Fund will help us provide young Alberta songwriters with the financial means to participate in our music programming.

We humbly thank the Tate family for this honour and we look forward to keeping Keiran’s memory alive through a long and rewarding partnership.
