Album Notes

It’s an automotive fantasy...
A charismatic premier and an audacious entrepreneur dream of building a sexy new sports car in New Brunswick, but political and production roadblocks are keeping the gull-winged venture from getting off the ground. When American promoter Malcolm Bricklin brings his dream of producing his namesake sports car to New Brunswick, Premier Richard Hatfield’s government becomes his not-so-silent business partner. With catchy 1970’s pop and funk inspired tunes, this new musical comedy takes us on a fantastical and wild ride through the politics, business antics, controversy, and fame associated with one of the most colourful stories in our province’s history.
