Familiar faces rock downtown rooftop in The Garage Band

A group of prominent Reginans took to the rooftops to rock downtown Regina on Wednesday.

Members of The Garage Band decided to emulate their musical heroes by recreating The Beatle’s rooftop performance by heading up on the roof of the Fat Badger.

Now that's rock and roll! �� @MayorFougere & the Garage Band played ontop of @FatBadgerRegina this afternoon. If you liked what you heard, be sure to attend their concert to raise money for a new 4D CT Simulator at the Allan Blair Cancer Centre: https://t.co/c5sm7n5HUp #yqr pic.twitter.com/qdTCAQjwOJ
