Who are we?

We are a classic rock band from Hampton, New Brunswick and are the featured house band at Gridiron Brewing! We are ready to rock out any venue from Saint John to Moncton and beyond!

The middle of a pandemic, what a time to form a band. Having moved to New Brunswick from Ottawa, I had to say goodbye to my former band of 3 years. We sure had fun. Within that short time, we had appeared on the TV, the radio and had released our first single. The page has now turned, and it’s time to bring these rocking tunes to the Atlantic region. The start was a little unsure, hosting auditions while maintaining distancing and sanitizing was unusual, but necessary. There was an original lineup that had formed, but after a few months, that had fallen through. I didn’t want to give up though so the search continued for talented musicians who wanted this as much as I did.

Patience proved to be rewarding! Now we have Ben on the drums who has been around the music scene in Grand Bay and is bringing his awesome beat to Power Bar. Matt has also had his share of band experiences in the Saint John area and left behind the demonic punk scene to play classic rock. Jeremy has been playing guitar for a long time, of the classical genre. Jeremy also proved to have a good voice for singing and joined the group to play guitar and lead the vocals.

So here we are, 4 different backgrounds all ready to hit the stage together. I remember playing on the stages in Ottawa and am so excited to be back in front of the crowds. So whether you’re booking for a restaurant, birthday party, wedding or anything else, we will be there with bells on! Thanks for reading.
