Brad Curtis and The SOME x 6 Band (sometimes six) was officially born during the summer of 2002 at Nat Bailey Stadium, Vancouver BC Canada. Brad and some friends had just finished playing a Senior Men's Baseball game at the historic Nat Bailey Stadium on a hot July afternoon, and were sitting back talking after the game. Brad soon realized they all shared a passion for playing music and he headed down to the local pawn shop to pick up a bass guitar which he had not picked up in 20 years. Something "spoke to him" that it was just the right thing to do.
