Steve Roseland

Oct 2, 1960-April 12, 2011

Both the gay and the music communities lost a champion when Steve Roseland died unexpectedly on Tuesday, April 12. Roseland appeared regularly in Xtra‘s Toronto sister publication fab in its Gay Agenda. He was a tireless promoter of all the events at George’s Play. Read fab columnist Paul Bellini’s interview with Roseland, “Music Beyond the Masses,” in fab #347, published May 28, 2008.
