This week on Purple City Podcast, we have On The Fly

Reborn last year after an eight year hiatus, On The Fly has quickly reasserted itself as one of Winnipeg’s most hard rocking, energetic live acts. Consisting of Jamie Denorer (lead guitar, vocals), Jared Masters (rhythm guitar, vocals), Matt Derraugh (drums) and Keith Skazyk (bass), On The Fly have been on a roll sharing the stage with heavy hitters such as Unsilenced, Spectre, Ronnie Ladobruk And The Electric and Ash And The Arsonists, and featuring at festivals such as Bankside Music Festival and soon, Rockin’ The Fields Of Minnedosa. New recordings have also come with their return, as their newest singles “Down To The Bone”, “Riptide” and “Higher” were released in March, May and July of this year with many more to come before the year is over. It’s all gas, no brakes for On The Fly in 2024!
