Andrew Bryan recently moved back to Thunder Bay where he was born and raised. It was there where he first picked up the violin and honed his craft on the cold endless winter nights. He has since picked up all manner of other instruments and often grabs a mandolin to switch up his sound and sings as well. He lends an excellent ear for arranging to the group and has also taken to writing music.

Brian LeBlanc is the glue of the band. He provides guitar, vocals, mandolin and drum to the music, but provides so much more in terms of his leadership and presence to the other members of the group. He tirelessly helps the rest of the members develop their new music and conducts much of the business and bookings for the band. |
