A group of music biz veterans playing rockin' blues and soul-drenched ballads.   

 

Rob McLean who lives by the motto "It’s called show business not show hobby" has made his life on stages and the roads that lead to those stages. He has numerous studio, TV and theatre credits to his name – why would he use anyone else’s? – and is a Canadian Comedy Award winner. He started his career in theatre and learned the art of surviving in front of an audience by playing more gigs than he can remember.

 

Hans Langedyk started singing for cash at the age of 13 and hasn't stopped since. He has fronted numerous bands throughout his decade's long career usually in the hard rock vein and jumped at the chance to sing with a more blues-tinged outfit and have the chance to sing his favourite Tom Waits and Harry Nillson songs. 

 

Guitar slinger Roger Williamson grew up in a family of musicians and had no choice but to follow in the family business - it's like being in the Mafia. And he has a cool jacket. Then we have Smilin’ Johnny Camaro on bass and Sam the Road Dog on the skins laying down the pocket. Nolan, always the most excellent example of sartorial splendour navigates the horn section through the charts while Justine and Gillian add the sweet inspiration harmonies.

 

The setlist for Rob'n Hans is an eclectic collection of blues standards, hard rockers, country blues, originals and show tunes.

 

This is a band you want to hear.
