“In 2023, I photoshopped our faces onto a photo of the Rock the Lake main stage and sent it to Paul. Told him that we would be there one day, it was just a matter of when. RTL is the biggest rock festival in our hometown and we are beyond thrilled to partner up and play alongside so many huge artists like Tom Cochrane, 54-40, and Wide!” – Austen Sawchuk, Texas Major
