Ontario Country music artist Darren Hancock and his band began their Fall tour in September 2005, and have been tearing up the Ontario Honky Tonks ever since.
Hey folks! Darren here. Welcome to my SoundClick page, where I get to tell you all a bit about myself... thanks for stopping by! I am originally from Corner Brook Newfoundland, and moved from Eastern Canada to Ontario in 1994, with dreams of playing music. In '95 I joined a band called "High Noon", and we played the Southwestern Ontario circuit heavily for 4 and a half years, receiving two OCMA nominations for "Bar Band of the Year". I left the band in early 2000, and played with a few groups on the side, but nothing full-time. In August of 2000 I was recruited by a group called Moonshine, and was the lead singer/lead guitarist for five more years. Moonshine competed in the 2004 "Rising Country Superstar" contest, and won 1st place in Ontario. We opened for Doc Walker and Julian Austin, and in November 2004 won an Ontario Country Music Award for "Club Artist of the Year". Now venturing out on my own, I look forward to growing as a solo artist, promoting my new band and my own music (along with many of todays chart-breaking New Country hits). I hope to entice new fans to come along for the ride on this new journey... it's gonna be a blast and I want to share the adventure with all of you!

Story behind the song
Every time I would approach my wife (then fiancee) with news of a new song I had written, she'd get a twinkle in her eye that suggested "Is this one about me?"... yet I had never written one about her. I felt so strongly about her that I didn't think I could find the words to do justice to her, and avoided the topic in my songs. When our wedding day arrived, I surprised her (and everyone) by finishing off my speech with an acoustic guitar, singing my wedding present: a song just for her, "With This Ring". There wasn't a dry eye in the house (including my own), and I hope you all like it as much as my wedding reception did.
Lyrics
With This Ring © 2003 Words and music by Darren Hancock The day we met I hoped we would be together I never dreamed it could be forever Time went by and our love grew strong Soon I knew you were the one I went down on one knee took your hand in mine And said these words with tears in my eyes Chorus: With this ring comes a promise from my heart To be true as our new life starts I’ll give to you all I’ve ever owned My heart my body and my soul My life, my love, my dreams I give you everything With this ring Now here we are, our day has finally come To pledge our love in front of everyone I can’t believe how lucky I am To be the one who takes your hand You look in my eyes, we know the time is now He says repeat after me as we say our vows With this ring comes a promise from my heart To be true till death do us part I’ll give to you all I’ve ever owned My heart my body and my soul My life, my love, my dreams I give you everything With this Ring Bridge: They say diamonds are forever but I can go one better ‘Cause this love we have will outlast any stone And the happiness we’re building will live on in our children As we share the greatest love I’ve ever known With this ring comes a promise from my heart To be true and we’ll never part You’re everything that I’ve ever known you’re in my heart my body and my soul You’re my life, my love, my dream you are my everything With this ring © 2003 Words and music by Darren Hancock Reproduction without written consent from the author of this copyrighted material is strictly prohibited.
