We played anywhere from underground jazz clubs to major functions held by the hotels in Monaco and for some exclusive parties held by the prince of Monaco. This is where my expertise in dealing with event coordinators, agents, managers, international audiences and sound engineers was born, both in English and French. The band eventually moved back to Alberta, where we played concert series, state fairs, bars and festivals from coast to coast in both the U.S and Canada. We represented Canada at Epcot Center in Disneyworld several times and had been on television more times than we can remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brett Spaulding<\/strong>&nbsp;plays guitar based, rockin\u2019 Bluesy pop music.
