In 1819, a priest known as Father J was wandering the banks of the Harpeth River when he stumbled upon a group of wayward travelers. They were on a quest to find the Golden Bangercrank, a long lost treasure of explorer Ponce De Umanji. According to legend, The Bangercrank was buried deep at the bottom of the river, and produced chart topping hits, infinite cold beer, and great fortune to those that possess it. Father J warned the travelers of the treasure they sought! The Bangercrank had been cast with a wicked curse many years before by Ponce De Umanji himself. With disregard of the priest's warning, the travelers continued their search until they found the treasure.

 For 200 years they were trapped inside the Bangercrank, frozen in time, nestled at the bottom of a deep dark catfish hole. Until one day, a baptism in the river broke the curse of The Bangercrank. The river's water suddenly turned into ice cold beer, and the travelers were freed from their aquatic prison cells to enjoy the rest of their days topping charts and enjoying ice cold brews.
