Jordan Phillips
CHASE THE BEAR
Jordan is the youngest member of one of the best rock bands to come from Canada in a long time. Don't believe us? Here is what Jay Buchanan (RIVAL SONS) told his audience at the Commodore Ballroom when recently playing in Vancouver.
"I would like to give a public service announcement... The best rock n roll singer in Canada is right here in your backyard; with one of the best Rock bands in the country... That band is CHASE THE BEAR. You should be listening to these guys"
Jordan is an incredible player and integral part of Chase The Bears sound, songwriting, and live performances. An expressive and dynamic musician with incredible lines and a rhythmic approach and tightness rarely seen.

Emmet jerome
Emmet's Bio modestly states that he "is a young Canadian roots musician known for his energetic performances, captivating storytelling and soulful musical ability. He blends elements of blues, country, and rock; and draws inspiration from artists like Ian Tyson, Joe Strummer, and the troubadour tradition."
We would like to add that he's one of the best damn guitarists you're likely to find in the biz today. It seems that people are catching on as he Emmet is also highly in-demand as a live / session guitarist outside of his own recording career.

UGLY KID JOE
What can we say about this guy? He's done it all and is still doing it all, and better than most.
Ugly Kid Joe opened for The Scorpions during their 2024 Vegas residency, have share stages with every iconic band you can name, destroy EU festival stages every summer and are touring most years. Go see them, it's an awesome experience.

Graham Tuson
Econoline Crush, The Spitfires, GG Dartray, Brundlefly... Graham is a veteran of the Canadian music scene and is usually referred to as the nicest guy in rock n' roll.
An accomplished songwriter and composer, in demand FOH tech, classically trained pianist, a monster on the drumkit, and is even great on the bass! He's currently hammering out crazily tuned riffs at high volumes while belting out disgustingly high harmonies with Econoline Crush, and recently released new solo material. Go check out 'The Robots EP' by Graham Tuson.
We're extremely stoked to have him on the team and proud to know him as a dear friend.
PS - Graham also loves Cheap Trick, The Cars, and Kix.

Dani McTaggart
DEAR ROUGE
Danielle is a firey, commanding performer with an astounding voice who loves to rock on guitar and keys live.
DEAR ROUGE's music fully embodies their longtime mantra of 'grit and gloss' and their live show is a rollercoaster of energy and emotions not to be missed.
Buckle up, it will be one heck of a ride and you simply won't be able to wipe the smile off of your face afterwards

Drew McTaggart
DEAR ROUGE
Drew's proficiency in creating massively emotive soundscapes on the guitar is impressive. He's not just playing the guitar; he's playing the amp, he's playing his effects pedals, he's playing the room, the audience and even his own bandmates.
Experiencing Drew live with Dear Rouge is a treat for anyone that appreciates great songs presented artistically and emotionally. They'll walk you down the shores of suffering, up to the mountaintop of joy, and probably introduce you to the cosmos while doing so. Sparkly, jangly, chuggy, spacey, noisey tones abound.
Don't try to figure out what he's doing or how he's doing it. Just let go and enjoy the ride.
