Wheatfield Run

The Wheatfield Run artists Mitch "Workhorses" Braun, Doc "DPF" Froese, Ben "Forestfire" Dyck and Marlon "Hero is Not Strong" Wiebe have banded together to form one supergroup: KONGRESS.

It's kinda a collusion of all of our styles into one band so there will be lots of different sounds, rocking guitars, squelchy synths, drum machines and even a dash of hip hop.  Should be interesting if nothing else!

We're playing our very first live show at Sam's Place, 159 Henderson Hwy, Winnipeg, MB on March 20th at 7pm.  With special guest Kev Corbett.

See you there!

Well friends, here we are. If all goes well (with internet connections) this will not be the last time you hear from me for a while. I'm off, along with my wonderful partner, to a town called Rumbek in southern Sudan. We'll be serving with Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) for three years. If you want to know more about all this, check out our blog: heatherandjoel.wordpress.com, which has a lot of interesting stuff on it. Hopefully i'll be able to upload stuff while i'm there, but if not, i hope to figure out a suitable alternative to a three-year hiatus.

I'll keep you posted!

Hey kids,

First blog post here just to tell you that i've had a bit of a spring cleaning. It looks as thought i was suddenly very prolific, but actually it was more that i blew the dust off of some things i started a while ago, then went into hibernation, which is a fitting image for a project named after a bear (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/south_of_scotland/7208505.stm). Recently i've felt new energy for clearing out some of my old songs and making them ready for release to the world.

The new album (which is probably nearing completion) is called "Something Historic" and i thought it'd be funny to have all the songs be under two minutes, since that seems the opposite of historic. But maybe it's not. I don't know.
