We’re back with our first show of 2026! 🤟🏻😖
Rockin’ the stage with Gastown Riot & Wailing Saints at Cheers Live in Lloyd presented by Lunar Music!

We have some more Farm Fresh friends coming to town next week! Gastown Riot from Calgary, Reclaim The Sun from Bonnyville. Also taking the stage is Wailing Saints at the show.

We've got exclusive listens to "The Calling" from Gastown Riot today (April 10) on the station! We'll catch up with Scott from the band and play the track for the first time coming up around 9:10am!

Hey there 🎸let’s get to know each other 👇

Scott

Raised on a Saskatchewan grain farm (where the first crowds were hay bales), Scott Schroeder is Gastown Riot’s frontman and a driving creative force behind its sound. Influenced by Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder, he delivers a powerful, instinct-driven voice and thrives in the raw, collaborative songwriting process.

Brian

Born in rural Saskatchewan and raised in Saskatoon, Brian is a founding member of Gastown Riot and a versatile drummer shaped by jazz, blues, surf rock, and country. With over 20 years of live experience across genres, he brings precision, feel, and a deep focus on serving the song.

Bryan
A guitarist in Gastown Riot, Bryan brings a dynamic mix of precision, groove, and melodic instinct to the band’s sound. His playing balances power and restraint, always locking in with the rhythm section while elevating the energy on stage.

Vitalii
Born in Ukraine’s Lviv region, Vitaliy found rock early and was playing live by his teens before stepping away from music for several years. After moving to Canada, he returned to bass with renewed fire—bringing that rediscovered energy into Gastown Riot.

Kas
Originally from Nottingham, England, Kas started on guitar young, inspired by Iron Maiden, before a detour into EDM DJing and radio. Now in Canada, his playing blends gritty blues, melodic riffs, and desert-rock grooves, with a constant obsession for chasing the perfect sound

Fun fact: he once fell asleep on live radio. He insists he got away with it 😁
