Their lives are dramatically upended after an unexpected incident occurs on the night of a 17th birthday party. The dramatic film screens on Wednesday, March 4 at 7:30 p.m.
The Trews
Having once shared the stage with iconic artists like the Rolling Stones, Weezer and Bruce Springsteen, The Trews have often been referred to as one of the most prolific, electrifying and innovative rock bands around. The Hamilton-based group have released six studio albums and have topped the charts, once ranking among the top 40 selling Canadian bands in Canada. The group got their start in 2002 from a radio contest called “Rocksearch” on the St. Catharines radio station, CHTZ-FM. Soon after winning the contest, the band landed a recording contract with Bumstead Productions and released their first full-length album House of III Fame in 2003. The First Ontario Credit Union is sponsoring this show. The Trews take the stage on Friday, March 6 at 8 p.m.
