About Me

Originally established in 1989, Dave Rizk-Guitar, Peter Santiago-Bass and Mario Di Blasio on Drums. Playing everything form modern Jazz to psychedelic explorations to heart wrenching blues, the band has been playing regularly in their home town of Montreal for the past twenty years.Dave Rizk has the habit of leaving his audiences awe struck. A masterful guitarist and composer, he weaves a mesmerizing web of seemingly effortless lines, intermingling languages of Blues, Jazz and Rock with modern 21st century world elements. A force to be reckoned with. Peter Santiago was around back in '89 laying down some of smoothest Jazz-Funk and Hip-Hop this side of the border. Since, he has traveled the world with the likes of Kid Koala & Bullfrog, entertaining audiences everywhere. Mario DiBlasio, a true powerhouse drummer, he can go from hypnotizing brush work to thunderous explosions in the blink of an eye.Available for bookings Contact Dave Rizk__________________ [email protected]
