Whiskey & Rain

Mike started out trying to pursue a career in throat singing but discovered he was no good at it so he concentrated on singing and playing country music, fronting the Silver Tooth Band in Calgary for over 25 years.

Upon moving to the Okanagan he joined different pop/rock bands but his first love was realized when he joined Whiskey and Rain.

Jay began playing bass guitar in middle school as part of the punk scene in Calgary. Eventually, he found his way to B.C. and to rock and roll, performing with the campus pub house band at the University of Victoria.

Now, almost two decades later, and a long way from his punk rock roots, Jay has been expanding his bass and vocal skills by diving headfirst into the country and soul genres.

It was that cheap Fender knock off Paul received for his fourteenth birthday that started things off. Eventually playing in rock bands in Vancouver, blues bands in Calgary and jazz at Cap College. He even played banjo in an alt pop band in Winnipeg.

The one genre he never saw coming? Playing lead guitar in a country band while having the most musical fun ever. 

Bob started hitting pots and pans with kitchen utensils as a youngster, graduated to living room pillows with knitting needles, and eventually got his first drum set around 12 years of age - with actual drumsticks.

Self-taught, he has played in many rock and blues bands over the years, predominantly in Vancouver and Hong Kong.

Also known to "crop dust" rehearsals.
