"WOW!! What a band!!!" - a fan
Right Hand Band
is one of the hottest, tightest bands around, and here's why
On Electric Lead Guitar - Toronto born Tony "is that one or twoguitars" Desmarteau, has been working with TracyK since their debut as a duo in March 2000. Tony is one of those accomplished, respected, one-in-a-million players, who lights the way for many other guitarists as a mentor and teacher. His unique style is neither over-bearing nor tedious, as he strikes the right chord in every musical style that he graces with his licks. He has an impressive resume that crosses geographical borders and musical genres. Tony can also be experienced with many other notables both live and recorded. Check out his site for an in depth trip with Tony. Just click on his name right here - tonydesmarteau.com
Electric Bass - Vaughan "Bad Son" Poyser, has quickly and favourably worked his way into the Right Hand Band where he definitely has the right stuff to be one of the core. His dynamic stage presence helps make the show. He has some of the nicest bass guitars around, is highly trained, teaches private lessons, has worked with some darn big names in some darn big places. His musical contribution to the Right Hand Band is invaluable and TracyK is soooo proud to have him on board!!! Check THIS out: vaughanpoyser.com
On Drums - Tyrone "Good Son" Rogers, 2006 recipient of the WinnipegBlues.com Music Award for Drummer of the Year. He has a lengthy resume of accomplishments as a drummer in demand. He teaches private drum lessons and is a proud recipient of an endorsement with Ayotte drums. He has great feel and a keen sense of dynamics - TracyK loves him, and says he's truly a musical drummer who plays to the melody and lyrics. His contribution to the sound of the band makes it complete - and keeps everyone in time! RECENTLY, TY HAS BEEN USING HIS "ZENDRUM" IN THE SHOWS - IT'S AMAZING! Ask him about his paintings sometimes....www.tyrogers.ca
All together, with TracyK on lead vocals, harmonica, and rythym guitar, they make an awesome presentation, and keep hearing about it wherever they perform!
