Summer Saturday Music: The Falcons

The Falcons are five veteran players fueled by a mutual interest in classic rock. Red Deer drummer, Harley Hay, lit the fuse when he invited a complete stranger, a guitarist named Kevin Olson, to jam with his life-long bandmates: bassist Gary “Fudd” Thompson and  keyboardist Dave Parfett. “At the first session it became clear right away that we had something worthwhile, says Kevin, ‘we just clicked.” A second guitarist, Len “Spinner” Thompson, came on board to complete the lineup and expand the band’s repertoire considerably. If you appreciate well-crafted covers of tunes by a wide variety  of bands such as Santana, The Doobie Bros., Edgar Winter, Procal Harum, Bruce Cockburn, The Young Rascals, then don’t miss this group.
