Okay, so I have adored this band since 1990, when I first saw them open for Rush at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. The band is Chalk Circle, and their singer/guitartist/songwriter Chris Tait, also just happens to have one of my favourite singing voices of all time. This Durham, Ontario Region band is still rocking to this day, playing various shows all over. Nothing though, in 2024, yet..... This conversation was a blast, and great to hear so many awesome stories from Chris. We will definitely do this again!
