We received sad news today about an old Saultite friend, and B3 aficionado Brock Gillis. Many local musicians know and have played with Brock over the years, most recently at the Forever 18 concert here in the Soo on Dec. 8 2007, where Brock was part of that evenings house band.
RIP Brock.

Last night we lost our much loved friend, brother, band mate, B3 master and great part of the heart of the band, Brock Gillis. We had so much more to do and he had so much more to give. He fought a fierce fight with cancer and never gave up. It is difficult to put into words the enormity of Brock’s loss. We will love him always.
