No further details are available at this time, although judging by this Instagram post, Canadian drummer Ben Riley is also involved. Although Rush is currently on hiatus, Alex Lifeson is keeping himself busy. He also will be making a guest appearance on Triumph guitarist Rik Emmett's upcoming solo project, and he'll be participating in the Scott Medlock-Robby Krieger Golf Invitational and All-star Jam later this month.
