The Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) was founded in 1987 and aims to end Canada’s HIV epidemic by leading national strategies to increase prevention, testing, treatment and linkage to care, and to end HIV stigma. AIDSBEAT is the definitive rock-and-roll event of Toronto's legal community, having raised over $4.5 million in support of CANFAR's investments in research and community-based initiatives for almost three decades.

Representing Davies law firm, The Insecurities are a rotating collective of friends and music lovers. Litigation partner Maureen Littlejohn is the driving force behind the band, bringing her powerhouse vocals and killer keyboard lines to the group. Her teacher husband, Alistair, has been playing guitar with the group for more than 10 years. Davies tax associate Connor Hasegawa is returning this year with his insane keyboard (and violin) chops and is bringing Litigation associate Dylan Young with him to add some sweet percussion. Davies alum-in-law Jess Newman returns with her powerful vocals to add some major soul to the group. Rounding out the band, Greg Legros and Athena Maikantis-Legros add monster vocals, Antony “Ant” East slaps the bass with mastery, newcomer John Arsenault adds some tasty guitar licks, and Dan McCormick pounds the skins with groove and precision. The Insecurities are thrilled to be back at the legendary El Mocambo to rock once more.
