In recent years Lise has written and performed as part of original folk-rock duo Steel Moon, and performed with Perth-based Soul/Funk/R&B band Millstreet. Her voice has been described as having a soothing, smoky quality that blends easily with others. From rock to country to blues and more, she doesn’t shy away from various musical styles. Lise is also part of the Women of the Tay, a 50-voice women’s choir based in Perth.

Jennifer - Lead & Backup Vocals:

Jennifer is an outstanding lead/backup vocalist having performed in church choirs for many years. Jennifer sings alto with the Blackburn Chorus, a community choir of 75 voices. Her gift of harmony, her range and pitch are noticeable in the vocal parts of Starfire's music. She enjoys music and takes piano lessons weekly. With her prior knowledge of many different genres of music, she is a great addition to Starfire's vocal sound!

Greg - Lead & Backup Vocals:

Greg has many years of experience in music, starting as a bass player with several rock bands as a teen. He moved onto Caribbean music where he played guitar, trumpet and performed vocals with "The Carivibes". In 1994 Greg founded Starfire, a vibrant main stream party band. A life-long musician, Greg’s versatile voice embraces all styles of music and his precise sense of harmony adds depth and range to Starfire’s vocals.

Rob is thrilled to be in Starfire. He is having a blast working with this extremely talented group of people.

Peter - Bass:

Peter is a solid bass player and started with the band in 2004. He left for a few years and has started back this year! What attracted Peter to Starfire was the wide range of musical styles required, and thus the rather large amount of gear he was able to convince his wife he needed to buy - "for the good of the band!". - Good to see you back Peter!

Glenn - Drums:

With a lifelong passion for beat-driven music, Glenn has been playing drums off and on since the age of 16...recently, he has been "on" again, getting back into the live music scene in Ottawa and is excited to be playing with Starfire!!
