Biographies

True Jive Pluckers

"When Ed Minevich, Jack Semple, and Stephen McLellan get together over a pint and burger, the conversation will inevitably turn to the discussion of great music and the thrill of performing. It was on one such evening, that they came up with the idea of forming a trio with a musical palette that would meld all their varied, favourite genres. This includes a rather broad spectrum of music, since each brings to the trio his own unique musical experience and that has been pretty diverse and extensive. These are three guys with a lot of pluck!"

Conrad Bigknife

We’ve all heard the phrase “born to be...” In Conrad Bigknife’s case there is no doubt he was born to be a singer, a songwriter, a storyteller. In a style that’s been described as Jim Cuddy and Dwight Yoakam meet at the Hotel California, it’s hard not to see the passion and drive that brings out this music, his music. Songs about subjects he knows well; struggling and hard times, laughing and living. Real life, hooks included.
