a history of our shows

Wayne was a workhorse in the early years, playing for several years doing cover gigs in bars and at various venues.  His vocal additions, particularly on covers of the Tragically Hip were legendary.

John was the very first drummer for the band.  John contributed vocals and a solid rhythm backline for early days of the band. John is also the guy responsible for coming up with the iconic name: CAR287 !! You can ask him the story!

Jeff stepped in for Wayne just as the band started it's voyage into writing original tunes.  His rhythms created a classic sound on early tunes like Rescue me and In the Blue Hour.  He was a huge part of the early successes of this band.

Derek played with CAR287 for several years, leaving in 2024 just after the Private Ear Sessions.  He was instrumental in helping to shape the original music, adding amazing components to songs and memorable backing vocals. His keyboard work can be heard on the first release ep and on Looking Through the Lens.
