Brian Volke - Singing, Guitar and Mandolin
Brian is the band's lead singer and main songwriter. His styles range from mellow and sweet through to boisterous and energetic musical romps. Brian's songs tell the stories of the people and places he knows, and the pleasures and problems of life. Apart from being a talented singer-songwriter, Brian is one of the finest, highest-energy flatpick guitar maniacs ever to play on six strings.
Brian hails from Regina, Saskatchewan, where for many years he fronted the roots band known as Celtic Clutter. Brian got his start playing Celtic music in the Regina Mandolin Orchestra. He is also an accomplished visual artist and, by day, a teacher.
Brian plays a Sawchyn guitar and mandolin. He has a Fishman Matrix pickup and uses D'Addario Strings. Brian sings into his Shure SM58 microphone. For his 50th birthday, Brian purchased a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar. He figured it was time to rock out.
