Songwriters Shotgun Jimmie and Dick Morello spent several years playing together in Toronto indie scene bands (The Janitors, Drummer) before reuniting in the Canadian north for a summer of heartbreak and hard labour.

Thus was born Shotgun and Jaybird, whose first CD - The Dawson Towne Recordings - on a 4-track in a tiny log cabin with no running water.
