bonar has been playing and writing music in Canada off and on since the 1970's. a guitarist of some renown, he played and wrote rock/jazz/fusion with The Cat's Pyjamas. He has played blues with Backalley John and with The Bullshit Blues Band. He played and wrote original 80's pop/rock with the band GASH. played bass and helped out arranging with Human Interest. recorded on a dozen odd sessions back in the day. toured Canada a few times.

today he can be found on the left coast of Canada - just inches from Howe Sound.

He is performing Jazz and Samba standards with his wife, Niv. and he is writing and recording original songs, some of which you will find here.

He loves his Epi 335 which he calls "The Red Devil" and his Jay Turser Mosrite knock-off a.k.a. "The Cream Dream".

Evoke arousal of the subconscious mind; Turn on your intellect.. make you think and feel high, aware and as one. That is what we hope to do with our music...

Hope to hear from you..

Thank you so much for the very kind words Bonar! You're right... we are definitely "the shit"....
You did an awesome job on sound and the whole organization of the show all together... It was inspiring and I really want to play more... the only problem is...I can't seem to find any places to play! And I have been looking... (any ideas???)
Thank you though so much for fitting us in and everything!
