Vocalist and Guitarist Steve Wilson has been in and around the music scene as long as Yoda has been speaking his Wisdom to the Hobbits. Influences are many including The Beatles, Stones, BB King, Rhythm & Blues and Traditional Folk. Steve is also a recording artist  and songwriter and places creativity first and foremost in his music and performing.   

Bassist Brendan Somerville found his calling in music from a young age, starting with piano. His music journey has since led him to bass and guitar. Sound influences include Radiohead, Them Crooked Vultures, and Queen, setting the groundwork for his solid basslines and creative flexibility.

Guitarist Cary Juan has played with bands varying in styles from Blues, to Rock, Funk and Alternative. His session work and recordings for solo acts such as Ben Segev, and collaborations with DJ Wolfe were well received. He has enjoyed performing across the GTA at venues such as the legendary Horseshoe and charity events at Rogers Centre. After moving to Waterloo Region a few years ago, he has been enjoying the rich musical community.

As the saying goes, “everything old is new again”. Well, for drummer Paul Laufert, this applies. A serious and dedicated student of the instrument throughout his teens, Paul left playing for almost 30 years while pursuing family, career and other life goals. He has now returned to his love of music and drums after this hiatus and provides a solid foundation for the band. Influences are varied and include Steve Gadd, Neil Peart, Buddy Rich, Dave Weckl, Steve Jordan among others….
