BIOGRAPHY
We are a group of actors and technicians from Newfoundland, who toured rural Manitoba this past February with an award winning stage play. We've gotten some help along the way from our tour manager and technicians from the Manitoba Theatre Centre. Thought it wasn't enough of a challenge to do 23 towns and over 5,500 kms in 28 days... so we recorded an album whilst we travelled from Gretna to Churchill and random points in between.
