The Postmen are ringing.

The disaster relief group started out with a couple of spontaneous grassroots volunteers who collected goods and money for the victims in the throes of the Fort McMurray fires.

Their efforts took off and grew to the level of multiple provinces and even into the United States.

The Postmen helped out during the Cariboo wildfires last year, and they were busy helping B.C. again this summer.

Award-winning rap group Swollen Members is appearing Wednesday night in Prince George with the show's proceeds going to The Postmen.

They are touring in support of their latest single Bank Job and the new album they are set to release.

Swollen Members have picked up four Juno Awards, five MuchMusic Video Music Awards, four Western Canadian Music Awards and many other accolades. They are considered one of the all-time pillars of Canadian hiphop.

The event is an all-ages concert (there is a bar for those 19-plus) with local opening acts. It happens at the Prince George Golf & Curling Club during an early performance window compared to most live music shows. The entertainment is scheduled to run from 6-10 p.m.

Tickets are $40 available in advance at Black Sheep Gifts at Pine Centre Mall or online by clicking the ticket link on the event's Facebook page.
