Remembering our beautiful friend today. He brought the band joy and life with his humour, spirit and musicianship. Sending love to Cole and his family. (pic from @woodstovefestival 2018, with Cole on the big drum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ifP4lhJW7/?igshid=176h12olyw6k0

Very excited for the third annual greenhorn fundraiser dance party. Last year there was some crazy stuff up on the silent auction. Awesome kids, great bands, and just a sweet party vibe.
