 Mayhemingways

Benj Rowland and Buster Fewings hail from Peterborough, a rich musical community in Central Ontario. Rowland sings and plays accordion, guitar, and banjo as the tune suits, while holding down the bass with foot pedals. While Buster provides percussive accompaniment and harmonies. Suitable for shows from mellow house shows to larger bars and halls. 

 Tin and the Toad http://www.tinandthetoad.com

Tin - Justin Smith - Guitar, Mandolin, Vocals, beard
Toad - Cody Shearer - Guitar, Vocals, mistakes
Pete Loughlin - Bass, Vocals, cactus hat, onstage banter
Steve Loree - Guitar, Vocals, everything good and true in this god forsaken world.

Tin is about 5’11″ I think, with a full Jesus beard and broader shoulders than the average man his size due to wrassling calves in his formative years. He plays accoustic guitar, mandolin, and writes some of the songs.

The Toad is slightly taller but not nearly as intelligent or articulate. He is, however, an avid flyfisherman. He plays accoustic guitar and writes and sings some of the songs.

Ryan Shearer is kind of like a drummer and drives about 70 000 km annually.

Peter Loughlin is the tallest man in the universe, a bass player, banjo player, and reggae jibberish expert.

Steve Loree is Steve Fucking Loree and he does what he’s going to do.

In all seriousness, we try to create music that tastes like the lives of those living here on the foothills and plains of southern Alberta. Authenticity is the point, but so is tequila and sausage on the barbeque. Once in a while, we gather ourselves and venture to the big ol’ city to share the tunes with the fine folks that frequent the good watering holes.
