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.
