Band Members:
DAVE BAILEY
Drums/Percussion
Dave started playing drums during the ‘70s while in high school as part of a basement band… a hobby that has lead him down a path of writing and recording original music with ‘Hammingwell’. He played in local bars and schools as part of ‘Grange’ after ‘Hammingwell’ called it quits, then completely gave up music in ’77 to pursue a career in the wild and exotic world of accounting and auditing. After a 25-year hiatus Dave returned to the music world when called upon by old ‘Hammingwell’ band mates. He currently spends his days trying to keep the boys and the books on the straight and narrow.


JEFF WHITE
Guitars/Vocals
Jeff has remained a part of the music scene over the years by playing in various dance bands within the St. John’s, Mt. Pearl area… occasionally venturing to locations outside the overpass! Jeff performed with ‘The Anchormen Barbershop Chorus’ and ‘The Cavendish Square Quartet’ winning many awards and trophies at competitions throughout Atlantic Canada. He has also performed at the St. John’s Arts & Culture Centre in numerous musical theatre productions including ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’. Jeff keeps busy writing and performing with fellow Hammingwell band mates; in his free time he volunteers at a local cable company.

MICHAEL FISHER
Bass/Guitars/Vocals
Michael played in many bands over the 25-year period since ‘Hammingwell’s’ inception, notably ‘The Reaction’ and ‘Neon’ from St. John’s, which continue to attract interest from collectors around the world. Other projects have included the award winning Regina band ‘The Toasters’, and Ottawa’s ‘Paul Fenton’, with whom Michael produced a video that received airplay on Much Music. He currently divides his time between music and video production, the latter of which has included ‘Tales from the Mist - Newfoundland Ghost Stories’, and directing the St. John’s program ‘Out Of The Fog’.

STEPHEN JACKSON
Keyboards / Vocals / Acoustic Guitar
Stephen continues to be an artsy bugger and a reluctant, though stubborn entrepreneur, despite a couple of serious degrees. He has had years and years of performing experience: he has written, produced, directed, acted and starred in everything from songs and musical groups, to videos, rock operas, endless theatre productions, television shows and more. Some musical heroes, in the piano/keyboard world anyway, include Beethoven, Chopin, Lyle Mays, Ruben Gonzalez, Kraftwerk, Ultravox and, of course, John Evan (and Ian A. but he's not a keyboardist!). His other heroes are too many to mention – but very few contributed to this current project!
