Mario - Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals
Mario is a "GTA refugee" having moved from Vaughan ("the city above Toronto") to Niagara-On-The-Lake in June 2016. He's been playing guitar since he was 7 years old when his older brother taught him how to play "Wipeout". At the time, his hands were too small, so he had to put the guitar on his lap a la Jeff Healey and play the lick with his thumb!
Growing up, his musical influences were his older brother Tony, Brian May, Carlos Santana, Al DiMeola and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Since high school, he's been gigging around the GTA and Ontario with bands including Xenon, The Double Blues Brothers, General Panic and the Privates, Drive and Desire, Night Life, Phil 'n' The Blanks, Rockitship 7, and The Dee Gees.

Frank - Drums & Percussions - Backing Vocals
Frank is proud to call Welland home, the city he was born and raised in. He comes from a family with a variety of musical talent. His late father emigrated from Italy as an established Trumpet player who was a well respected member of the music community in the Niagara area since the 1960s. Growing up with this musical influence in the house played a key role in Frank becoming a musician.
​
In 1979 at the age of 11 he received his first set of Stewart drums and the musical journey began. Although he’s had many musical inspirations throughout this time, Frank prides his “time-keeping” ability as a self-taught drummer.
