New Band Members - Live Band

New Band Members....Due to commitments with other bands Jeff Harris [Bass Guitar] and Rob MacEachearn [drums] will be reverting to "back up" players with the band. They are both very busy with there respective bands Brother My Enemy and Helix [as well as several others]. I can't say enough about these two guys...they have been extremely supportive of my music and playing live shows [often for free!!] and I wish them the best of luck with there musical endeavors.

The wicked news is, Chris Caron my long time band mate from SYRE will be stepping in on bass guitar! Chris is a great guy and an awesome musician and I can't wait to share the stage with him as part of my live band.

The other killer news is drummer Steve Pelley will be pounding the kit behind us. Steve is a long time friend who I met during his stint as the house sound technician at The Royal Tavern in Tillsonburg. I didn't even know Steve played drums until he jammed with us one night at The Royal and I was surprised to find out he was a wicked drummer [not to mention a damn good sound man and a great guy!]

Both Steve and Chris are hard at work learning my original tunes as well as the many cover tunes we are adding to the show.

For those of you who don't know Chris Armstrong also joined the band a month or so ago and has played one show with us so far. Chris is a wicked guitar player and will add a great deal to the overall sound of the band thanks to his killer tone and wicked chops!
