The Northern Pikes were formed at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and began touring Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba.

All three provinces claimed the band as their own.

Jay Semko, Bryan Potvin, Don Schmid, Merl Bryck, Glen Hollingsworth and Ross Nykiforuk were just having fun and simply enjoying the ride of being Rock Musicians.

Releasing two independent albums, the group started to receive plenty of Air Time and the all-important sales of albums.

“Virgin Records noticed the success of the band and signed them to a long-term contract.

To date the group has released eight albums and the band is just as open and carefree as they have always been.

The group was inducted into the “Western Music Hall of Fame”.
