Dave - Drummer

 Dave – Drums and Vocals

Dave was taught to play drums by his father Mike who was a working jazz drummer in England and in Victoria. Dave, as the OG of the group, has been playing drums for 52 years and has played in gigging bands for the last 28 years. He brings to Take Cover Band his experience playing many styles of music including Rock, Blues, Country, Jazz, Big-Band Jazz, Latin and Funk.

Bart

Bart – Guitar and Vocals

Bart started on guitar 25 years ago, and since then has performed with numerous groups in Ontario and BC. Bart originally joined Take Cover on bass, and more recently moved to guitar. He also has some experience on trombone, but the band has not found a use for that (yet). 

Tom

Tom – Bass and Vocals

Tom is the most recent member to join Take Cover. Tom has been playing bass for 30+ years. He currently plays in several bands in the Victoria area. He joined the band on bass when Bart decided he was “too cool for bass”, and switched to guitar. Although he is truly happy on the inside, he is physically unable to smile while playing. A true example of “bass face”. His biggest influence on bass is Homer Simpson.
