Drums, Vocals

Bob was raised in Port Credit (Mississauga), Ontario which is where the drumming began.  Self taught in his teen years, Bob has played with a variety of bands including early on in Port Credit’s own Rox.  Bob enjoys the variety of talented musicians that make Canadian music so vibrant and popular which explains his choice of Neil Peart of Rush fame as one of his favourite players.  The inimitable Buddy Rich and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are other drummers who have influenced Bob’s playing.  The lure of paying homage to our ‘Home and Native Land’ through performing tasteful pop/folk rock music is what has brought Bob back to sit behind the kit once again.  Along with Steve, Bob is one of the founding members of The Hus-band playing a variety of early rock ‘n’ roll tunes from the 50's and 60's for older audiences.

Paul is a long-time Burlington/Hamilton bass player.  He  has played many shows with Bare Blue Sea prior to joining on full-time in November 2019 and is a member of the local group "Tim Park and the Younger Guys".  Paul presents a punching bass sound and can play a wide variety of musical styles.  He is also talented at singing high while playing low!

Vocals, Guitars, Mandolin, Keys

Jason is the most recent addition to Bare Blue Sea, having entered after connecting with the guys through mutual friends and a shared love of all things Canadian music.  A self-confessed 'music room rat', Jason has enjoyed exploring multiple instruments since childhood, and he brings the same dynamic to the established BBS lineup.  Jason has opened for several prominent Canadian acts, including Joel Plaksett and The Trews, and he classifies his musical interests as 'traditional to rock, and everything in between'.  More than anything, Jason is thrilled to join the BBS lineup because it brings two of his favourite things together: friends and live music.
