Tom
Tom Demerson - bass, vocals, keyboards

Classically trained on piano and guitar, Montreal native Tom Demerson has been playing bass since 1977. He propels 8Track Mind with a funky feel that slides the band through musical spheres as diverse as the jazzy rock of Chicago's 25 or 6 to 4, the slippery Commodores' funk of Brick House, the dizzying be-bop of Stevie Wonder's Sir Duke, to the new-wave riffing of Elvis Costello's Pump it Up. Tom also serves as the band's Musical Director and Manager.


Jim Stith - guitar

A Toronto native who has lived across Canada and the US, Jim made his name with some of Rhode Island's leading blues and rock bands. He is accomplished not only on electric but also acoustic fingerstyle guitar. Jim's musical influences range from Jethro Tull and Jimi Hendrix to Chet Atkins. Adept at moving from jazz comping to soaring solos, then to chunky rhythm playing, 8Track Mind reveals Jim Stith as one of Atlantic Canada's most versatile players.

Glen Clarke - trombone, vocals, percussion

Anchoring the 8Track Mind horn section on trombone is Glen Clarke, a former member of the famed RCR Band. A native of Nova Scotia, Glen is a talented arranger and multi-instrumentalist.
