New single 'Highway of Heroes' - available soon!
Benefit Single "Highway Of Heroes" Available Exclusively At iTunes May 18
Posted on 05/05/2010
The Trews have recorded a song reflecting their patriotic goodwill in the form of "Highway of Heroes", which musically captures the poignancy of the return of fallen members of Canada's armed forces serving in Afghanistan. The single will be serviced to radio May 14 and will be available for purchase exclusively through iTunes May 18. Net proceeds from sales will benefit the Canadian Hero Fund (herofund.ca), an organization that assists the families of Canadian military personnel through academic scholarships.
The song was co-written and co-produced by The Trews and Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar) and was inspired by the 2006 death of Captain Nichola Goddard from The Trews' hometown of Antigonish, NS, who returned from duty along Canada's Highway of Heroes, the section of the MacDonald-Cartier freeway named to honour those who have sacrificed all in service of country.
"This past fall, Colin and I were reminded of Nichola's story via our mother, who had taught her at school," explains guitarist/vocalist John-Angus MacDonald of the inspiration behind the single. "While writing the song we decided to zoom out from the specific details of Nichola's story and make it more general, dedicating it to all soldiers past, present and future who are carried home on the Highway of Heroes. Afterward, we further felt compelled to do something with it that might benefit those who serve and those they leave behind. The Canadian Hero Fund was the most natural place to direct the proceeds."
To donate to the Canadian Hero Fund, please go to herofund.ca. or send an email to info@herofund.ca.
