When four seasoned musicians from diverse backgrounds come together with a common vision, something special is bound to happen;
and that perfectly reflects the founding and music of the One Wheel Band.
Burke Rosen (guitar/vocals) is steeped in folk/roots and blues traditions since his early start in the Winnipeg folk scene. He has a
solid history playing in several local bands, performing solo and is a founding member of the local band, Gravitation.
Mike Sampson (guitar/vocals) is well known as part of the Latin/Jazz instrumental acoustic guitar duo, Los Gringos Locos, and as lead guitarist with My Back Pages.
Diane Taylor (acoustic bass/keyboard/vocals) plays with various local groups in Victoria including Keys ‘n Frets, Dancing On A Pony Keg, and Just The Three of Us. She also performs vocal jazz, solo piano and improv for dance and movement.
Monica G. (percussion and vocals) keeps it all together by enhancing the sound of the band with sophisticated percussion and added harmonies.
One Wheel Band has played at numerous local markets, cafes, retirement homes and has performed at private concerts. The band’s vocal harmonies and sophisticated musicianship are sure to please and bring smiles to music lovers everywhere.
