The band, which also included live wire Rob ‘Chops’ Snasdell on acoustic bass and newly retired Keith Snider on fiddle (filling in for regular fiddler Natalie Cross), set the tone with their catchy signature tune, Old Canal, written to mark the 200th anniversary of the Rideau Canal. The singalong ballad pays tribute to the more than 1,000 workers who died during its construction.
