RIVER TOWN SAINTS PERFORM AT THE HUT Friday evening , the ANAF Unit 318 – or as we all know it , the Hut – was rocking with good old country music from the River Town Saints . A short while ago , the Sherbrooke-based Firehouse Productions along with the ANAF Unit 318 decided to bring the River Town Saints to the Hut for a show . The Hut has been trying to raise money for some major work that has to be done and this show will certainly help bring them a bit closer to their goal .
The Chronicle was in the crowd on Friday evening and were very amazed with the talent of these five young fellows that make up the River Town Saints . When they hit the stage the crowd went wild . Over 150 people were in attendance and the dance floor was packed throughout the entire show . People were singing , dancing and having fun enjoying the sweet sounds of this band .
The River Town Saints are a group of five from small towns around the Ottawa River in Ontario Canada . Chris LaBelle , Chris McComb , Jeremy Bortot , Jordan Potvin , and Daniel DiGiacomo make up this group . They might be rooted in small towns but there ' s nothing small about their drive . They have proven with a little heart and a lot of hard work , they can come a long way since their start . This group , led by the strong vocals of Chris LaBelle , makes the River Town Saints a band with unbeatable energy that has landed them on my stages in front of thousands of fans . Since signing with Open Road Recordings they have shared the stage with the " Road Hammers " and opened for Tim Hicks . Last summer they did a festival tour that landed them doing a show at the Queens Plate Horse Race at Woodbine Racetrack . They are a young and upcoming group but they are sure to rise to the top soon with their high energy music .
River Town Saints released their debut single " A Little Bit Goes a Long Way " in 2015 , which landed them on many artists-towatch lists . They released their second single " Cherry Bomb " and that is heading up the charts fast . These five young musicians are certainly making a name for themselves and are amazing their fans every day .
