“The Reason” release documentary partially-filmed in Red Deer

Jun 13, 2017 | 4:07 PM

It’s a sobering reality of an independent Canadian rock band.

In March of 2013, Ontario rockers The Reason documented a cross Canada tour. The band had faced numerous hardships over the years while touring our nation, and this trek was no different.

The band developed the motto “If it’s not something, it’s something else”. It became the title of the new documentary, which was recently made available through iTunes & Amazon (more platforms will become available soon).

They traveled mostly via train, and stopped in many places to play house parties for radio contest winners. One of the stops was a quonset belonging to Shawn Foesier of Red Deer.
