“Without the support from our hometown of

opportunity to share our music with our fans
across Canada and abroad,” said Chris
Thorsteinson, Doc Walker. “We are honoured
to come home and play for our community and
for the fans that have supported us for over
10 years.”
For the first time in over two years, fresh
