Welcome to the Bands Page! Here, you can see our bands and their generous sponsors.

The Bailouts

From the ashes of the 2008 financial crisis rose a group of musicians who’s goal was to bail out those who felt confused about the world of high finance and currently still are. They have done this through music. While the members have changed over time,the mission is still the same and the dream is still alive. To be Big Rock Singers with Golden Fingers who are loved everywhere they go. Here to bail you out is The Bailouts.

Steve’s Garage

Two members of the Barrie-Huronia Rotary Club performed at a Rotary talent show together and were scouted by fellow Rotarian Steve Cockburn, who said, “Want to come over to my garage and see all the toys my band has?” So these two were suitably impressed and infiltrated the band “The Snippets” in 2011 to form Steve’s Garage.

  • Alex Cockburn
  • Maria Cernak

Bunker

Not a true garage band .  Bunker is a sub garage band, by definition. 

6 neighbours , friends and brothers from a street of only 20 houses that got together to jam. All playing different instruments

What are the fan duel odds ?

The name Bunker comes from the fact that they practiced in a triple garage that was UNDER a triple garage.

From backyard neighbourhood parties in the infancy stages to opening for Glass Tiger and regularly participating in the annual Barrie Battle of the Bands …

Bunker has evolved … And aged as well as the Pinot Noirs they drink at band practice

Band Members:

  • Pete Dye
  • Wellington Bentley
  • Tim Kraft
  • Toivo Vahi
  • Tony Lyons
  • Joe Johnson

Sonic Coalition

Sonic Coalition consistently delivers a turbocharged set of pure energy crowd pleasing tunes that blends get up and dance rock with Punked out 70’s Lounge favourites….and everything in between… Ecclectic is an understatement….   A beautiful blend and juxtaposition of Retro rock and classics… The band embraces distortion, takes liberties with remixes and last minute changes, believing firmly that no song should (can) be played the same twice.  They have a unique and powerful sound full of energy that is of course – always delivered via a wall of sound… All turned to eleven…  .

  • Jeff Lehman
  • Paul Larche
  • Chis Adams
  • Jim Fairhead
