“Every year for the past 10 years we’ve been doing this big Christmas/ New Year’s show at home in Saskatoon, which is always a lot of fun, so we decided to take it on the road to some of our favourite western Canadian cities. And Lethbridge has always been one of our favourites,” Volk continued.
“We’ll be playing a lot of songs people have heard before and a lot of songs we haven’t played in a number of years,” he continued, reflecting on a successful year which included seeing “Raging Bull ” hit number one, lots of touring and home town recognition as they were nominated for rock and pop artist of the year at the first ever Saskatchewan music awards and Saskatoon magazine Planet S naming them best band for the third year in a row.
