Kasandra Bois
Kasandra has been singing since she can remember. Her mother sang in a band and travelled so music has always been a huge part of her family’s life. Her first guitar was given to her by her father when she was 13 years old. Since then, she has written original music and decided to go to Metalwork Institute of Professional Sound and Music in Mississauga. She received her Entertainment Business Management Diploma and has won and entered many different competitions. To this day after having 2 children and getting married, she continues to play many different genres and plans to continue writing and performing.

Sonny Boy Mick (Stephen McPhail)
Now a full time resident of Muskoka Ontario, award winning singer/songwriter Stephen McPhail first picked up the guitar at the age of 10. Growing up in the Northern town of Sault Ste. Marie, he was singing in school festivals, teaching guitar and playing professional gigs by the age of 15. After graduating university he moved to Burlington Ontario to pursue his love of music, performing acoustic solo and corporate events with his band Sonny Boy Mick and was also the owner and operator of Burlington’s Melody Man Studios since 1994 (music school and recording studio), working as a full time performing musician, music teacher and studio musician. Over the years he has appeared as a vocalist and guitarist on several CD recording projects and has also performed as lead guitarist for several prominent Canadian recording acts.

Sean Cotton
A Georgetown, Ontario native and Toronto expat, Sean Cotton currently creates and performs in the Central Ontario regions of Muskoka and Almaguin Highlands. After retiring from a 20 year career on the road and in the studio as a guitar player and harmony vocalist with performing-songwriting duo The Undesirables, Sean has settled in the village of Burk's Falls, Ontario where he operates a recording studio producing artist, recording his own albums as well as working as a jingle composer for radio. Over the years Sean has been a sideman for artists as diverse as Indie New Country Artist Marshall Dane, Blues and R&B singer Treasa Levasseur, and Pop singer Suzie McNeil. His first record producer credit was for his longtime collaborator Folk singer Corin Raymond. Sean still receives SOCAN royalties from writing collaborations with the latter three artists. You can see Sean performing solo from Gravenhurst to North Bay, from Burk's Falls to Parry Sound. These performances are a highly revered one-man band experience, with Sean filling out the back beat of the music with his feet by performing percussion on a tambourine adorned guitar case and sporting ankle bells on his left leg. He is constantly creating bands to suit all occasions that get thrown his direction. He currently performs his original music with a quartet fittingly named The New Locals.
