“Rainy Tuesday” is a heartfelt song that captures the fragile beauty of life - its joys, sorrows, pain and inevitable losses. It celebrates the enduring love of a father for his child and the deep lifelong friendships that hold us through moments of triumph, grief, and everything in between.

Written over 20 years ago by Ben Vezina, alongside his longtime friends, Angelo (guitar) and Jayme (bass), the song was born in anticipation of Ben’s first child, his son Liam. It was intended as a joyful tribute to a beautiful new life. But as life often does, circumstances intervened, and the song remained unfinished, tucked away like a cherished but incomplete memory.

Years later, at the age of 48, Ben received a terminal cancer diagnosis with only 4-6 weeks left. In a raw, heartfelt conversation, he shared perhaps his deepest regret: not completing “Rainy Tuesday’ for his son. Determined to honor his wish, I reached out to our producer, Kevin. Without hesitation, Kevin paused all studio work to enable Ben, Angelo and Jayme - friends for over 35 years - one final soul stirring session. Together, they brought the song to life, recording it live off the floor, weaving together the threads of love, loss and humanity that now define Ben’s legacy. It was my greatest honor to sing this song for Ben.

“Rainy Tuesday’ is more than a song: it’s a testament of what it means to be human, a reminder to cherish what truly matters” - Riiver Brukes

“It was Grade 7 homeroom class, and all I could hear was tapping on a desk. Eventually, I looked over at this blond kid laying down the beats with 2 pencils like a pro. Turns out he was a ballroom dancer and no more a drummer than I was!! That would change soon enough though as we were both after the drummer spot in music class. Guess it's pretty clear how that worked out - I’m playing bass!! Ben and I became best Friends and bandmates. Recording “Rainy Tuesday” for Ben and Liam after all those years, was a gift I will never forget" - Jayme Tartaglia

“Ben, how many times have we re-lived those moments? Each attempt was closer to perfection. Maybe we finally got it right, maybe each attempt is perfect, or maybe it’s not what matters at all. Please wait for us. There is more. I promise” - Angelo Vagenas

“Ben, you were an angel sent from above. You shined your love and light to the people who needed it most then went back home to heaven where you now rest easy. I knew you only for a minute in this World but you will never be forgotten. In my heart always; your energy will be with me forever 11:11” - Elizabeth Lopez-Jardine

‘Rainy Tuesday’ is the 6th song in a special collection of 7 featuring our late Friend and drummer, Ben Vezina.
