In Memory of our friend Dan
It was the spring of 2015, we were in the early planning stages of that summer’s Spencerville Stampede and had started booking the lineup for the musical aspect of the event. Festival attendees had overwhelmingly requested Tim Hicks be the headliner that year and organizers were determined to make that happen. As we finalized the lineup opening night the booking agent approached us and asked if we’d consider adding this new, Ottawa area band, to the lineup. This band had no music out and, aside from being from the area and being on the same label as Tim Hicks, was relatively unknown. Naturally we agreed and the rest…was history.
