BIOs: 

David Tilston

David was born and raised in the Toronto area and moved to the Ottawa area in 1987. He now lives in Lanark County on Bennett Lake where he divides his time between family, work and music. He has been playing guitar for over thirty-five years and has developed a sound that is a blend of many different styles ranging from blues to bluegrass; from folk to swing. You’re as likely to hear him flatpicking traditional fiddle tunes as you are listening to him play the songs of Mississippi John Hurt.

While not primarily a songwriter himself, David has always gravitated toward acoustic folk or roots music of traditional blues artists and singer-songwriters such as the aforementioned Mississippi John Hurt along with Robert Johnson, Townes Van Zandt and others. His early influences were the songs of Gordon Lightfoot, Ian Tyson and Bob Dylan.

Although performing solo occasionally, David most often performs as an accompanist on guitar and vocals. In addition to playing his custom made Oskar Graf guitar, he plays fiddle and mandolin.

David’s favourite guitarists are Tony Rice, David Grier and Django Reinhardt. Others who have made a significant impression are Doc Watson, Clarence White, Mississippi John Hurt and T-Bone Walker. His favourite songwriters are Townes Van Zandt, Lyle Lovett, Gillian Welch and Tom Waits.

He is a consummate flatpicking guitarist and an innovative fingerpicker, using
DADGAD and other alternative tunings to create a personal signature style
which often involves playing a melody on the guitar while singing it,
rather than just chording. Bill's guitar style has also been affected by
playing mandolin and fiddle; he creates innovative guitar arrangements of
tunes usually played on these or harp, accordion or pipes. Reels,
strathspeys, jigs and even the dreaded polka are not safe from his

ministrations, and he composes original instrumentals too, such as "The Long Walk Home",

which has been played extensively on web radio stations on mp3.com.

Bill Cameron has performed as a solo artist, in the duo "The Seldom Heard"
with fiddler James Stephens, and in many other aggregations. 
Currently he is working primarily as a solo performer or accompanist, and is

available for concerts, cafes, pubs, "classy dinner music", and special occasions. 

His first CD release "There's Always Time For Anachronism",

made with James Stephens, Nathan Curry and other worthies, can be ordered directly from the artist.

Fred Pickles, Ninja

Bass

Do'in the bar scene demands some kind of percussion.  When forming the band, it was important to me to keep the acoustic feel and not jeapardize the softer sound.  Fred's awesome bass tempo was just the right fit. 

Someone listening to our demo said to me "You know, I listened to your demo seeing if I missed the drums and you know what?  I didn't".  That's alright with me.

Fred is an Artist, Jiu-Jitsu Master and all around terrific human being.
