Geordie Brown to Release Debut Rock Single Honouring Dartmouth Rock Legends: Titan

Dartmouth singer-actor pays tribute to hometown rock band before embarking on tour with Foreigner 

DARTMOUTH, NS - August 8, 2025 — Canadian singer and actor Geordie Brown announces the release of his debut rock single, “Won’t You Come With Me ”, the 1970s rock track originally recorded by Nova Scotian band Titan. 

The original "lost" record garnered substantial airplay on Halifax radio, charting as one of the top 100 songs of 1978 on local rock stations. 

This new recording bridges generations of East Coast talent. Four members of Titan— Dave Roberts , Steve “Jug” Brown , Bruce Nelson , and Mark DesJardins —returned to the studio to contribute. 

Brown's new record stays faithful to the 70s Classic Rock style, and maintains the mainstream pop sound found in the original, with catchy hooks and surf-rock harmonies. It's the feel-good soundtrack to your summertime roadtrip.

The single was recorded analog through tape at Fang Recording - the Dartmouth studio owned by Joel Plaskett - with Thomas Stajcer engineering and mixing. The record has been digitally mastered by J. LaPointe.

For Brown, this project has a uniquely personal connection: Titan was formed in his hometown of Dartmouth, and his father, Steve “Jug” Brown, was one of the band’s founding members.

“This project means the world to me,” says Brown. “I grew up listening to Titan’s music as a kid. Now I have the honour of carrying this legacy forward - not just as a fan, but as a collaborator, a son, and as a proud East Coast musician. No matter where I perform now, I’ll be able to point to this record to show where I’ve come from.”

The single also marks an exciting moment in Brown’s career, as he prepares for a cross-Canada tour this fall as a guest vocalist with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Foreigner—a dream opportunity that underscores his rising momentum in the entertainment world. This follows Brown’s star turn in the world premiere of Foreigner’s stage musical in 2019. 

Joining the Titan originals is a powerhouse lineup of East Coast musicians:

• Sean Kilbride, drummer for platinum-selling Canadian rock band Haywire. A Dartmouth native, Kilbride notes: “Titan was one of my biggest influences growing up. When Geordie called me, I knew I had to be a part of this.”
• Andrew Murray, guitarist, is a songwriter and producer from Charlottetown. He’s one half of the folk songwriting duo Baby God.
• Julien Kitson, bassist, is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, and member of PEI rock band Gizmo. The son of Rawlins Cross frontman Joey Kitson, Julien adds his own generational legacy to the project.

Won’t You Come With Me drops on Friday, August 15th on all major streaming platforms.

Titan was formed in 1976 by David Roberts while attending Dartmouth High School. They began by performing at local venues and college dances throughout Halifax and surrounding areas, gradually building a reputation for their energetic live performances - enhanced by the biggest sound and light show you could find in the city. 

Their single “Won't You Come with Me” reached number 9 on the local rock radio station, and then hit #33 in the top 100 songs of 1978. 

In the Summer of 1979, the band opened shows for Moxy and Max Webster. Along with original material, the band at this time featured what local reviewers said were, "a masterful medley of Queen's music" and, "a superb rendition of Led Zeppelin's Stairway To Heaven". While opening for Max Webster, Titan became the first local act to appear in the newly opened Halifax Metro Centre.

In 1981, Titan was featured in a Cable 10 production recorded at Zapatas in Halifax, providing insight into their music and presence in the local rock scene. 

After a period of inactivity, Titan reunited in 2024 and performed at Rock the Harbour at Alderney Landing in Dartmouth. Demonstrating their lasting connection to the Nova Scotian music community, Titan returns to the 3-day rock festival again this year, with the promise of new music.
