A man of many musical instruments, our bass player Shane Hunt is an outstanding example of musicianship. He can pretty much play any instrument he picks up and not only that but plays them well. He is one of the main components to a solid backbone to the band and one of the original three.The second of the original three is Luke (love) Phillips. Another fine musician who's diverse musical influences has blessed the Turnpike Bandits since the beginning. Another Ontario boy in the crew, Luke plays a strong and colorful rythem guitar with the occasional sneak in of inspiring leads that fire it up just a little for the TPB's continuously growing sound.How can you not mention the talent of this next musician. Grieg Martin is another multi instrumented Ontario boy who's abilities are beyond words. First brought on to the TPB's as our lap slide player in 2007, Grieg has continuously brought nothing but the finest in lead guitar, lap slide, arrangement and theory to our team. He is a seasoned professional musician who has given the Turnpike Bandits that smooth transition from the late night jams to the stage where we do what we do best. Tear it up.Our Backbone to our band is Matt Stockman. The drummer must be able to adapt, maintain, create, lead and follow all at the same time. Matt is that guy. anything thrown at him has been returned 10 times better than we could imagine. solid driving drums that keep this ol' truck just a haulin' is our man Matt.As for me, Eric Peterson. Well i just write and sing the stuff. try to sneak in some leads here and there and bang out the rythem's for the boys to fill up with good ol' fashion s@! kickin' down home country we like to call...The Turnpike Bandits.For bookings or info drop us a line at [email protected] and to join the Turnpike Fandits group please look us up on Facebook and keep in touch!.......The Turnpike bandits - Live at logans 2008
