Hometown Band

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hometown Band was founded in 1975 by Claire Lawrence, a former member of The Collectors and Chilliwack, to back up Canadian folk artist Valdy. The band was composed of Shari Ulrich (lead vocals, flute, fiddle), Geoff Ayre (drums, vocals), Robbie King (organ, piano, keyboard bass), and Doug Edwards (guitar, keyboards, bass). Their first LP Flying realized two hits, the title track and I'm Ready.

Having failed to produce a radio hit from their second album, the group disbanded in 1977.
