Watch The Trailer For A New Doc About The Number Of Famous Musicians From Peterborough Area

Peterborough's Michael Hurcomb and Ryan Lalonde have spent their spare time over the past couple years working on a documentary about the amazing number of musicians around the world who got their start right here in the Peterborough area.

Every famous musician started somewhere, and their doc, Radius Project, is a story about that somewhere—that being Peterborough in this case, which has produced a wealth of successful musicans that came from the radius around the city.

A short list of people that grew up or relocated to the area are Neil Young, Serena Ryder, Royal Wood, Three Days Grace, Thousand Foot Krutch, My Darkest Days, Cale Gontier (Art of Dying / Thornley), I Mother Earth, Greg Keelor, Ronnie Hawkins, The Leahys (and Natalie McMaster), producers Greg and Rob Wells, Sebastian Bach and many more.

Radius Project will feature one on one interviews with many of these artists talking about their experiences here, including a look into how a small city and the surrounding towns created so many acclaimed artists and had such an impact on them in their formative years.

Radius Project, currently in production, is due out early 2017 and is already attracting interest from some major music festivals, Lalonde tells PTBOCanada.

Every famous musician started somewhere. This is a story about somewhere. The Radius Project was born out of a simple question: "So which famous people would I know from your hometown?" The hometown in question was Peterborough, Ontario and the answer was endless.
