This one’s a special night for us. For the first time ever, we'll have 2 brothers in the band! World-class percussionist and brother of our drummer, Kyle, Kevin Radomsky, will be joining us, adding a whole new dimension to the band. He also happens to be a Winnipeger!
We’re also welcoming back longtime guitarist Dave Corman, who’s stepping back on stage with us after many years away, but this time as our secret weapon - guitar and keys complementing our already stellar current lineup.
With an expanded 8-piece lineup, it’s shaping up to be a pretty unique night — and a lineup we’ve never had before. A true Hot August Night.
