Featured band of the day – Third gear (rock)
Saturday night @ Doc Willoughby’s

Gear rose from the ashes of Deadly, with guitarist Dale Birnie and drummer Chad MacDonald reuniting with Russ Wilson, a former bandmate and lifelong friend who had been busy honing his bass style in Alberta for several years. Once they started jamming together again, the groove came rushing back, and all three knew that this was meant to be! As a power trio, 3rd Gear write and perform innovative, interesting rock songs built to bring the world to it’s knees! With politically charged lyrics, thick muscular grooves, and a tight unmistakable sound, 3rd Gear have set out to change the rock world as we know it!
