Steeple Chaser

Steeple Chaser’s music is a perfect blend of hard rock energy combined with pop’s solid melodies and transparent emotion. Built on evocative vocals, a pounding rhythm section and instantly memorable grooves, the band’s sure melodies and crackling guitars echo songs of passion and introspective style.

Formed in 1999, Steeple Chaser entered the Winnipeg club scene with a desire to both perform and wow audiences with their unique sound and dazzling live shows. The group quickly moved up the club-circuit ladder and ultimately won Power 97 FM’s “Next Big Thing” competition. Their prize was the opportunity to record at renowned Winnipeg recording facility, Studio 11. The result was a successful four song EP entitled “Pilot” recorded with Grammy nominee and multiple Juno Award winning producer Brandon Friesen.

During the summer of 2003, Steeple Chaser was honoured again by Power 97 FM. Including them on there very first “Class of 2003” CD featuring 5 of Manitoba’s most promising acts. After maintaining 8 weeks atop the Power Play Off in March and April, their single “Radio Who” was added to the play list in mid June. It carried on with mid-high rotation throughout the summer and is still being played today.

The much anticipated full-length album “Standing on the Verge” was released in September 2005 on C-12 Records. Their first single “Been There” was well received by radio and has been added into rotation by many college and commercial stations across Canada.

While still building steam, Steeple Chaser has toured Eastern Canada in July 05 and continues to book dates across Canada.
