Hometown were very short-lived. They only released two albums
Flying (1976) and
Hometown Band (1977) both on A & M Records.
Even with a Juno Award behind them the Hometown band self-destructed in '79 before another album could be released...leaving Shari Ulrich to fulfill the A & M contract.
Other notable members of Hometown were Doug Edwards (best known as a member of Skylark with David Foster and whose biggest claim to fame was co-writing the Top40 hit "Wildflower") and Claire Lawrence best known for his years with Chilliwack; Keyboardist Robbie King arranged Terry Jacks’s maudlin “Seasons in the Sun”, played on Bryan Adams’s cocksure “Can’t Stop This Thing We Started”, contributed harpsichord to Olivia Newton-John’s poperatic “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” and Hammond organ to Tina Turner’s soulful “What’s Love Got to Do With It”, and toured with the Supremes, among many others. He might also be the only musician to have recorded with both shock-rocker Alice Cooper and Gulf Islands troubadour Valdy. He passed away October 17, 2003; Geoff Eyre would also go on to play in Curtis Cowan and The Rockers, Pete And The Sneaks, and the Powder Blues Band.
