108 Mile Ranch resident Alex Poggenpohl has entered a song in a CBC Music/Hockey Night in Canada contest, and he’s crossing his fingers it will become the top song in the country.
If the song, Breakout (Hold the Line), is selected as the winner, Alex and his buddy Dave McArthur will get to record a studio version of their song with Canadian rocker Joel Plaskett .
Once that is done, they’ll join the Tragically Hip, Sam Roberts Band and Neil Young by having their song featured in a montage on Hockey Night in Canada.
The icing on the cake will be a trip to Lloydminster, Alta., where Alex and Dave perform live at the Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada concert.
Folks can listen to and vote for the song at http://music.cbc.ca/#/artists/Alex-Poggenpohl-Band, but your vote has to be by 8:59 Pacific Time today (Dec. 11).
