Will Currie & The Country French is a Canadian indie rock music group formed in 2006 in Waterloo. The band consists of singer and pianist Will Currie, guitarist Dan Beacock, drummer Aaron Mariash, and bassist Daniel MacPherson. ==Biography== Will Currie & The Country French was originally conceived in early 2006 as a few songs were written in a small glass room in the basement of the Music Faculty at Wilfrid Laurier University.〔Sakamoto, John.
