Ten Mile Drive

The band formed about 11 years ago in Ajax, Ontario. We have gone through some personel changes as do all bands over time i suppose and has been like it is now for a short time. Darren White is our new guitar player and was asked in by Frank Russell, our drummer. He saw him while teaching at the same music store and he sounded very good, and though he has less expirience than the rest of us, he lends his technique and creativity to exsisting songs and writes his own material as well. He is a very enthusiastic and energetic fellow and currently has been doing some film work with a production house and has also directed some videos that are very imaginative and look great. We are now getting back into a writing groove and have recently been in the studio to record some new material. We play as often as we can though live, simply because playing live is alot of fun and it's always great when a plan comes together Paul Donlon is what you would call the leader as he founded the band and we rehease at his place. He has been playing and writing for about 27 years now and has been adding his vocal application to not only his own songs but adding good harmonies to other tunes we play as well; he is real easy to work with and a valued friend of our drummers', having known him since he first joined the band. Stephany, our vocalist has expirience herself, having recorded her first song at fifteen and adding her expirience and wonderful voice to the overall sound of the band. She also writes lyrics when the rest of us can think of nothing to say or write about and is very good at it. She came into the band at the request of our drummer Frank Russell, having known her for several years and jammed with her on several occasions. She also writes and plays guitar and has several of them. Ted Clifton, our bass player, was also asked in by Frank as he had jamed with Ted many times. Ted has been playing for about 30 years and writes his own stuff as well. He is an accomplished player and has in the past played with a' Tangent" a Queen tribute band in the mid 70's & ..."Switch" from the late 70's...and a band called "Sister Sage" as well as some other interesting ventures. He also likes to fish and has often had inpromtu fishing contests with Frank and Paul our guitar player, for laughs and the chance to get away and have some fun. We now have some of our music up on our profile so we hope you enjoy it. Thanks for your interest in the band and we will continue to update you on what's going on as it happens so please drop in and say hello and continue to support live music......Cheers to you all and enjoy time.
