Roger is one of Montreals most sought after bass players having a great deal of both studio and stage experience. He is an enthusiastic and animated live performer with the technical skills to match noted in his signature arpeggio..s, alternate picking and thunderous approach to playing as can be heard in the bass intro Levitity for the song Avian. Check out the video on this page!!!
Born in Montreal, Quebec and raised in a musical household his mother is a classical pianist and his father is a blues harmonica player. His formal training began at the age of eight with classical piano which lasted for several years. He then took a shot at drums but as it turned out he fell in love with the strings. There is a guitar or bass always within arms reach in Roger's place. He has also had formal vocal training which is utilized in Triskalia harmonizing with Jason as well as singing lead on other numbers. Roger is also an accomplished song writer as he and Jason are the main song writers in Triskalia.
Roger and Ryan both left the "Aaron Amadeus Band" one week before forming Triskalia with Jason, while recording the bands second album. This was due to, too many constraints on his playing and management conflicts. However, they remain friends and Roger regards Aaron as an amazing song writer. To quote speed metal guitarist Pierre Robillard, whom Roger and Ryan also both played with for a couple of years in the past, "Roger plays bass with authority. " Roger has been playing Bass for about 25 years. His influences are mainly from the Hard Rock and Heavy Metal genre. His mentors are Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, Terry Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath, Bob Daisly of Ozzy Osbourne and Jimmy Bain of The Ronnie James Dio Band. Back in the eighties Roger also studied bass under Paul Hardwood of Frank Marino's band "Mahogany Rush". Rogers uses Washburn Bass's (in his words "I can't find anything as comfortable.") both electric and acoustic/electric, Ibanez Soundgear with active pick-ups (awesome sound) and Aria (also active) a Trace Elliot AH500X 500 watt amplifier, two Marshall 4X10 bass cabinets. When using picks he uses Jim Dunlop 1mm nylons and D'addario bass strings.
Along with playing bass Roger also plays guitar and is quite confident to say the least, as can be seen on songs like Cruelty and Tempest as well as The Hours, in which he plays almost all the guitar tracks including the lead. His biggest influences are Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee, Adrian Smith, Dave Murray, Tony Iommi and Zakk Wylde.
Roger is also working with guitarist Bryan Donahue of Homicide and E-Force. Aside from Triskalia Roger plays bass for Judas Priest tribute band Painkiller. He is currently writing material for a solo CD and for a new Triskalia album due out later this year.
It should also be noted that Roger placed 1st winning the Bardic competition at the 2006 Echoes Magical Music Festival playing a solo Instrumental version of Tempest on an acoustic guitar. Winning a beautiful Djembe drum that he treasures.

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..The Hours
Waiting for the ours, waiting for our hour. A thousand lifetimes I'm with you again.
I love you now as I loved you then, come with me my lover and friend. I promised you that I'd stay till the end.
Your in my dreams, your in my visions. Your are the reason for living, everything I do, I do it for you.
Catherine your the one for me, it's so perfectly plain to see. Our souls were connected in lifetimes beyond.
I dream about you night after night and I have all of my life, memories of lives long ago.
Born again into this world, to find each other once again. I'll fight for you and die till the end.
Two spirits from the dawn of time, eons have come and gone. Love undying, to be apart is alone.
Catherine it's me, can you still see? Forever together across space and time. I found you again lover of mine.
