Aaron Cadwaladr, born on Salt Spring Island and raised near Cape Scott, Vancouver Island, has over 25 years of experience as a professional musician. His travels—from sailing across the Caribbean and Atlantic, to living in Wales and Berlin, to busking in Europe—have shaped his versatile musical style. Aaron has performed with the Juno-nominated band The Kerplunks and released his solo album Wade Through the Dark. He holds a Fine Arts degree and is a graduate of the Jazz Studies Program at Vancouver Island University. Aaron currently lives on Malcolm Island, BC, working as a touring musician and online guitar instructor.
Steve Wallace is a celebrated Canadian bassist, born in Toronto in 1956. Over his illustrious career, he has performed and recorded internationally with American legends such as Zoot Sims, Ray Bryant, Scott Hamilton, Rosemary Clooney, and Woody Herman, as well as Canadian giants including Fraser MacPherson, Rob McConnell, Oscar Peterson, Phil Nimmons, Ed Bickert, and Mike Murley. Steve moved to Courtenay, BC in 2021, where he lives with his long-time partner, Anna. His deep, rich bass lines provide the perfect foundation for the trio’s dynamic and soulful sound.
