MEET THE BAND

Andy Curran first exploded onto the Canadian rock scene in 1982 as a founding member of Coney Hatch. After the release of their debut album, the band’s rocket rise saw them sharing stages with Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Cheap Trick, Peter Frampton, Ted Nugent, Eddie Money, Frank Marino, and Edgar Winter, earning not one, but two coveted special guest slots at Toronto’s legendary Maple Leaf Gardens in a single year.

Carl hails from Northern Ontario, (The Soo), Sault Ste. Marie - far from the centre of the musical universe. Listening to ’60s and '70s rock (The Guess Who, The Who, Jethro Tull, Grand Funk, CCR, Humble Pie and many more), Carl knew he wanted to be more than a fan - he wanted to live inside that music. His powerful vocals, energy and sheer determination have landed him in three iconic Canadian bands: CONEY HATCH (1981-present), APRIL WINE (four years) and THE GUESS WHO (8 years). A CBC radio description of Carl: “He remains one of Canada’s stellar rock voices.”

Dave Ketchum is best known as the powerhouse drummer and founding member of Canadian hard rock band Coney Hatch. With his precise timing, explosive energy, and unmistakable groove, Ketchum laid the rhythmic foundation that helped define the band’s signature sound—a mix of raw power and melodic hooks that fueled their rise through the 1980s rock scene.
