Ah! Bee Normal has been a band and has toured Southern AB and some in B.C for upwards of 18 years! The main core group of Jeff Axworthy, Rick Arelis and Norm Peters have been together throughout the 18 years.
Jeff who has become such a versatile player over the years...To go along with his main duties of playing rhythm guitar, he also manages to sing harmonies and play some keyboards. At times he's been known to play all three in one song!
Rick Arelis brings his hard hitting, in your face guitar solos to his solid lead guitar role to which he is one of the best around...He sings lead in at least a few songs a night and adds harmonies to others.
Norm Peters gives the band a good, steady beat and is the glue that holds the fabric of the band together. His drumming has been the backbone of the bands success and he shows absolutely no signs of slowing down.
Although bass players and singers have come and gone as the years have passed...each one has added their own flare and influences on the bands players and styles of music played.
However the last 3 plus years the band has been fronted by vocalist Rory Freeman...who has brought a unique sound, wide range of vocal capability and a love for all music to the table. He adds harmonies when Rick takes the lead and he can also play a pretty mean cow bell!
A solid bass player in Mitch Van Dyk has added a good presence, dedication and loyalty to go along with his boomy bass playing. This is his first time playing in a gigging band and he is loving every minute of his stage experiences. He was originally a guitar player and is friends with/has jammed with Jeff, Norm, and Rick for years, and when he heard there was a bass player opening, he jumped at the chance even though it meant converting from the guitar to a bass.
Ah! Bee Normal loves to play their music/instruments and loves to entertain! They look forward to many more years of expanding success and they'd love to see everybody and anybody in the audience at their shows. Thank you all for your continued support!! :)
