Ontario Kelly and Caravan HaylanTerry Kelly (Ontario Kelly) and Joe Hay (Caravan Haylan) met some time around the turn of the century. Terry recorded Joe’s first project on a 4-track and was instantly taken by his creativity, unique song writing and lyrics. They result was a 4-song EP that Joe shared with his dedicated and passionate fans, which were his family and friends. Terry recorded a version of one of the songs from that project, “Flower”, and this was later released on his Gibbus “self-tilted” album.   In the years that followed, Joe played drums for Terry at performances in and around the Trent Hills area.  Perhaps their most memorable gig was at one of Todd Kerr’s famous Canada Day parties, where a 6x6 swimming raft was pulled out of the Trent so that they could have a stage. Joe and Terry recorded a lot of music in those years, mostly informally, for fun. Joe appeared on Terry’s Gibbus “self-titled” album, playing drums, harmonica and guitar. The album, released in 2002, was co-produced by Ken Tizzard and charted on campus radio across Canada, reaching #2 at University of Toronto’s CIUT FM radio.     Terry and Joe often covered each other’s tunes at performances. Joe recorded Terry’s tune, “Montreal Protocol” and released this as part of his “Baskerville Oldface” EP. Terry eventually moved to Ottawa to pursue a career in the public service and Joe moved to Peterborough, where he now owns and operates the Amusé Café with his partner, Lindsay Brock. There was always a yearning to work together on a comprehensive project, however, they never really got around to it, until now.Ontario Kelly and Caravan Haylan…"Highway 7 Project" Booth Street Records
