Paul Neufeld has been on the international music scene since 1995 with the release of his first recordings, and first major award – a Juno for Best Contemporary Jazz Album. Since then he has been given five Juno nominations, two Vibe Awards, a Jazz Report award, a National Jazz award. His activities have included NOJO (Neufeld-Occhipinti Jazz Orchestra), Rhythm & Truth, Paul Neufeld Group and many more ensembles, international, Canadian and American touring. Primarily a keyboardist, Paul performs on piano, Hammond organ, and a collection of vintage and modern keyboards (Korg). His side career as a tuba and sousaphone player has taken him in some directions that keyboard players don’t get to go.

Paul’s influences are wide and his range of activity nearly matches. He was an adolescent music hound that soaked up pre-war blues and modern orchestra music along with Afro-beat, reggae, jazz, and rock, and everything else that came in the path. He has spent his adult life trying to sort it all out and use it. Subsequently we have bands dedicated to different angles of that pursuit. NOJO is the most wide ranging with its sound moving from Fela Kuti to Charles Ives and many other centres. Rhythm & Truth can be a traditional New Orleans brass band, or a rocking Gospel shout, or straight up soul-jazz. The PN Group has recorded an album of African-American Spirituals but might do a night of Paul’s originals and move from jazz to reggae, or a night of Duke Ellington. Polskatonic? Polkas, ska, and classic rock. The PN Society Orchestra - could be the orchestra of the Paul Neufeld Society or it could be PN’s Society Orchestra, either way it plays chamber music and ragtime. Then there is the electric stuff, The Triodes especially. All in all, a lot of activity and still he always says there are too many ideas and not enough time and energy to do them all.

A transplant to the West Coast from the prairies, Peter Davyduck has begun to fill a niche in the Christian recording industry in the Vancouver area. Born and raised in Alberta, Peter began his bass journey in High School after switching from tenor sax. The ensuing years were filled with cover bands and the continuing effort to teach himself to play the electric bass. After some time in the Okanagan and a brief stay in Victoria BC, Peter moved to Langley BC, a suburb of Vancouver where his career really began. Through friends at the Langley Vineyard church, Peter recorded two CDs for Vineyard Music Canada "Believe" and "All I Need”. It was through these projects that Peter met and played with worship leaders Graham Ord and Brian Doerksen. Peter's work with Graham Ord has resulted in the CDs "An Offering", "Waiting", "I Am", and "Regarding the Maker". A great blues CD the duo did with their fathers entitled "The Blessed Misfits, A Good Day for the Blues" as well as extensive gigging throughout Canada and the US.

With Brian Doerksen, Peter has toured Canada, the US and Europe including a trip in 2007 to Egypt, along with many local and international conferences. In addition to playing live with Brian, Peter contributed bass for Brian’s Integrity Records release “Today” and it’s companion live concert DVD. Peter also appears on Brian’s latest Integrity Records release, the 2008 Contemporary Christian/Gospel JUNO award winning CD “Holy God”. With Vineyard Music Canada Peter has also recorded vol.3 and vol.4 of the "Home Again" series of CDs, which feature his upright bass work. Peter has also had the pleasure of working on award winning CDs by Canadian Artists Lianna Klassen as well as with Stephanie Mainville. Along with keeping a busy freelance schedule, Peter teaches bass privately and has contributed interviews; Stu Hamm and Matthew Garrison; and articles to such websites as ActiveBass.com and to the magazine Inside Worship. Peter uses HARTKE bass amplification (3500a with the 410XL as well as the VXL Bass Attack pedal DI/PreAmp) for studio and stage. More info is available at www.peterdavyduck.com including mp3's.
