About
Dennis Carmichael & Brooks Robinson are celebrating 40 years as performing and writing partners together this year. In 1984 Their very first band called ‘The Agency’ entered Toronto’s Q107 Homegrown Contest. They were played as a hopeful that year and that was all the fuel they needed to be hooked on becoming song writers.
After playing cover tunes for several years the duo decided it was time to create their own act that would really facilitate their writing and publishing. So in 1990 they started a band called ‘rhubarb’ eventually working the Queen St W clubs in Toronto that really focused on original performers and got signed to an independent record label called ‘Wax Tablet Records’. They made 1 full length record called ‘Mad Urban Cow’.
They sold 5000 cd’s and 2500 cassettes before the trip was over opening for many of the biggest acts in Canada at the time, including Alana Myles,Barney Bentall, April Wine, Red Ryder and many more. Eventually the major changes to the industry and life in general saw the band call it quits in the early 2000’s.
In 2014 Robinson and Carmichael after a good break and dedication to quality family time decided to give one more shot at creating a really solid act. So they did and it’s called ‘Boots Of Hazard’.
Playing classic and new country music covers, playing requests and taking pride in reading crowds and playing to keep the energy at its peak.
