MEMBERS

Lise - Lead & Backup Vocals:

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.

Haley - Lead & Backup Vocals:

Hayley has been singing for about 10 years. She started out like many millenials, posting cover songs on YouTube from her college dorm room. From there, she progressed on to local open mics and soon after joined her first cover band. Since then Hayley has fronted a handful of casual cover bands while bouncing around south western Ontario. In 2016 Hayley found herself finally settling on the other side of the province, here in Ottawa. Hayley draws influence from a wide range of music across many different genres and decades. She is very excited to be able to rock out along with Starfire to a great variety of tunes!

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 - Lead & Rhythm Guitar:

Rob has been playing guitar for almost forty years and has performed in a wide range of settings and styles. His most recent outings include performances with Men of the Tay and Women of the Tay choirs as well as playing in Millstreet with Lise.
He has been giving private instruction for thirty years. If interested, he is always looking for students. Please email: jrcapell@hotmail.com

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!!
