Music producer Greg Wells, who has worked with Missy Elliott and Keith Urban among others, has spent a "lot of time" and his own money restoring a former Anglican Church in Winterton, Canada, to create a non-profit concert venue. Wells, whose mother has ties to the area, will host local musicians and workshops for people in the music industry as well as using the venue as a spot for up-and-coming artists. It will also serve as a recording studio through Wells' non-profit record label Scilly Cove Records, with 50% of profits go to local charities.
