Live Music Monday: The Halfsacks
The Halfsacks
The Halfsacks started at a picnic table on Falcon Drive in Fairmont Hot Springs, BC, where Christopher Howse and Steve Laurendeau used to get together after work to sing songs. Joined soon enough by Chris’ brother Jon, the Halfsacks came together to play the first annual Morfee Mountain Music Festival, with Ian Borenheim on bass. It was here that their music was defined as Canadiana Roots Rock. The line-up was completed with Peter Harding on drums and Scott Ivers on guitar. With Ian and Steve mostly showing up on the first 2 records, the four main guys are almost done their third. On the verge of breaking out, the Halfsacks hope to see you soon at a venue near you.
