Hedley is a Canadian rock quartet fronted by lead singer Jacob Hoggard, who placed third during the second season of the reality TV series Canadian Idol in 2004.
The band originated in Abbotsford, British Columbia and was named after the town of Hedley, British Columbia, a name chosen after members heard that it was for sale for $346,000. While the idea of buying the town ran its course, the name remained. The current members are vocalist Jacob Hoggard, bassist Tommy Mac, guitarist Dave Rosin, and drummer Chris Crippin.
