In fall 2002, indoor rowing champions Kris Sampson and
James Pinkstone, in conjunction with Mens Health
magazine, commissioned guitarist Ryan Pitchford to
write for them a victory hymnal, to be broadcast
throughout the many gymnasiums to which their rowing
tournaments led. Moved to tears by the beauty and
power of the piece, coach Tom Tjoflat emerged from
retirement, not to once again train up-and-coming
indoor rowers for victory, but to proudly play
percussion to what he then called the beautiful
music.
By late 2004, however, indoor rowing CD sales had
plummeted, and its place in youth culture had begun to
wane. At the recommendation of their record label,
Pitchford and Tjoflat set out to seek a vocalist who
truly understood the merit of, and discipline in,
championship indoor rowing, and to once again connect
with the youth-driven sales market. JT Hall, a
longtime fan of Tjoflats coaching skills, was the
obvious choice.
