Hedley is a Canadian pop rock band comprising lead singer Jacob
Hoggard, (who was placed 3rd during the second season of the reality TV
series Canadian Idol in 2004), Tommy Mac on bass, Dave Rosin on guitar
and Chris Crippin on drums. The current band retains the original name
of Hoggard's pre-Canadian Idol group, although the membership has
changed. The band originated in Abbotsford, British Columbia. They were
named after the town of Hedley, British Columbia, a name chosen after
members heard that it was for sale for $346,000.[citation needed] While
the idea of buying the town ran its course, the name remained. There
are also rumors that the name "Hedley" originated from Hedley Street in
Abbotsford, the hometown of Jacob Hoggard. The group made 3 albums:
Hedley (2004), Famous Last Words (2005) and The Show Must Go (2010).
