Peter Boyer's band Same Latitude as Rome had been performing several songs about the War of 1812. Inspired by the stories he discovered, he challenged other musicians in the Windsor Regional Writers Group to create music related to the war, and a grant from Heritage Canada enabled them to record a twelve-sing CD called Reflections on 1812.

Terry Taylor of Windsor band Gone Wrong was brought to tears as he wrote "Our Last Storm," a piece about the "shadow on our soul" the war brought to a couple after the husband left to fight in the militia.

You can listen to "Our Last Storm" and "The Shore", also by Gone Wrong.
