Small Town Rhino, a three-piece rock band from Yellowknife, NWT, Canada are one of the Unknown Legends of Canadian Rock Music.

Their eclectic sound is a mix of power-pop, trash-punk, prog-rock and old-fashioned funk and rock. A raucous, in-your-face attitude, made the band a local sensation and in their short history they recorded, toured, played festivals and private parties and spread their twisted magic, their voluminous shock and awe, and their passion for live performances, to an exclusive fan-base who were lucky enough to have seen a part of the rock and roll history that so many never experienced.

Small Town Rhino is Mike Bryant on Bass and Vocals, Marc Lacharite on Drums and Vocals and David Milligan on Guitar and Vocals. Small Town Rhino music played on local and national radio in Canada.

When the group decided to pursue different directions, they took their unique musical perspectives and parted ways to follow divergent paths through the rock and roll wilderness.
