The Portfolio

Who are these guys? Well they're not a bunch of young guitar wizards on mission of sonic destruction , (Well - except for Tom). And they're not a bunch of aging Rock n' Roll veterans with Les Pauls full of old Led Zeppelin licks. (Except, perhaps, for Ken). They are five very individual musicians, one of whom is into the difficult task of singing Tragically Hip songs while maintaining a precise lock on the intricate drumming required (Enter... Dave). One of whom can scream out the words to an older AC/DC or Cult song - or maybe something newer from Collective Soul - all the while keeping that bass groove happening (That would be Mark). And one of whom can move effortlessly from the vocal requirements of a U2 song to something off the recent charts by Tonic, or The Mathew Good Band. (Introducing... Scott).
 

Mark Parypa

Bass, Vocals

A driving force (literally) from the beginning. From bus repair to bass guitar with vocals, and on to fine-tuning the PA system - he does it all.  


Scott Watson

Vocals, Guitar

Secretly hoping to be the front man for the new millenium's version of Van Halen - now that they have ditched what's-his-name. The sheep on the poster belong to him.


David Lee

Drums, Vocals 

He plays, he sings, he keeps us on time and on track. Veteran of other bands (Amnesty) and various world tours.


Ken Storie

Guitars

Back again and loving it.

Believes that Rock n' Roll will prevent further hair loss,


Tom Shannon

Guitars

New blood. The organizer. Doesn't look very old, but plays like a veteran.
