Hedley

Hedley is a Canadian rock quartet that is known for their lead singer Jacob Hoggard, who placed third during the second season of the reality TV series Canadian Idol in 2004, and has had the most successful (in terms of album sales) post-Idol career of any contestant. The current band retains the original name of his pre-Canadian Idol group, although the membership has changed. The band originated in Abbotsford, British Columbia and was named after the town of Hedley, British Columbia a name chosen after members heard that it was for sale for $346,000. While the idea of buying the town ran its course, the name remained. The current members are vocalist Jacob Hoggard, bassist Tom Mac, guitarist Dave Rosin, and drummer, Chris Crippin. Tickets go on sale Friday May 23rd @ 10 a.m. at all Ticketmasters.
