| Tammy Steeper
- Bass Guitar & Vocals |
| My
name is Tammy Steeper. I have been playing the bass
guitar for about 7 years now. I come from a musical
background- my parents Ed and Donna Lesperance (love
you guys!) had a band "The Lesperance Trio"
for about 16 years. When I was young, they used to drag
me up to sing with them. I guess that's when the bug
hit me! The guitar player is my husband Dave. So, I
guess he and I are following in my parents footsteps!
I absolutely love playing in this band...we all have
so much fun, and it is something my husband and I do
together. When I met him, he was in a rock band...and
was playing the drums! I pulled him out from behind
those drums, and my dad taught him to play the guitar!
The rest is Country history... When you come to see
us, make sure to come up and say hello!! We love meeting
new people! Also, make sure to sign our guestbook before
you leave the site! Hope to see you soon!

| Dave
Steeper - Rythm Guitar & Vocals |
Born
and raised in a small town, my roots around these parts
run deep. My grandfather's band travelled these county
roads, and like him and his group, so do we. My mom and
dad started it all with that record player and "Ring
of Fire", they must still remember the words. I started
playing drums at around age 7, and my father quickly countered
with guitar lessons...to no avail. Together with some
friends we started "Vicious Circle", a popular
area rock band. After 10 years of limited sucess, we disbanded.
When I met my wife, she and her father unearthed the country
soul covered for so many years. My father-in-law took
on the task of teaching a drummer how to play guitar!
(Thanks Pop!) I just love doing this, and it shows. See
you soon! |

Percussion |
| I
was not born into a musical family, so don't ask me
why I wanted to play guitar at the age of nine. My parents
bought me a guitar and I proceeded to fail miserably
in teaching myself how to play. A year later, I got
a snare drum for Christmas and I was hooked immediately.
Aquiring a full drum kit soon after, I found myself
torturing the ears of my parents and brother on a daily
basis. In thanks to them putting up with the racket,
I was able to prepare myself for alot of interesting
musical experiences to come. I have since been in numerous
bands in the Windsor and Ottawa areas, playing classic
or heavy rock for the most part. I have also enjoyed
the various recording projects, festivals, and special
events that I have been asked to participate in. These
opportunities allowed me to stretch into, blues, country,
and even Broadway show tunes. Now I find myself playing
country for the most part, and it feels natural. I look
forward to every opportunity where I get to play good
music, with good people.

| Derek Hardy
- Lead Singer & Harmonica |
| Hi,
I am Derek Hardy. I was born and raised on a farm North
of Lucan. Growing up like most country kids ... wild
and free. Music has been in my family for generations.
My grandmother was a music teacher, she always heard
me walking around humming a tune. One day she asked
me if I would like to be a singer, did I ever!! From
Classical church solos to Hank Williams Sr's "
Hey Good Lookin" I felt at ease singing them all.
My first serious band endever was with the rock band
Vicious Circle. We had loads of fun playing all over
Ontario. After a decade of belting out rock songs...it
was time for a change. I wanted to become a singer that
could conquer any style. So three years of vocal lessons
at the Victorian Music Acadamy, and I was ready. I trained
to be a smooth country sound, and a solid harmony singer.
Come catch the show, I'm sure you will leave smiling
and singing along to one of your country favorites!!

| Dave Collins-
Lead Guitar & Vocals |
|
My name is Dave Collins, I was born and raised in London. Music has been my one passion since I was a little boy. With my dad working in radio since he was younger than me I have had music around since I was a baby. I started singing songs when I was very, very young, but never played an instrument. I started playing guitar when I was 14 years old, after two friends told me if I learned to play guitar, we could form a band. Of course that didn’t work out, but I did fall in love with the guitar. I was in a few bands in high school, playing mostly Rock and Punk Rock. With my dad working in country radio I always listened to country music. Once I got out of my Punk phase I knew that I wanted to play country music, although I do keep a lot of ties to the rock side of me. I love country music and I can’t imagine playing anything else. Looking forward to seeing all of you at the shows!!
