BIOGRAPHY

 

Darryl Clayton as Jon Bon Jovi - lead vocals/guitar

Front man "Jon Bon Darryl" is a dynamic stage performer with an incredible voice that has often been compared to Jon Bon Jovi. He has studied voice with Roy Petty and Juno Award winner Cindi Cain. Somewhat quiet and modest off stage; people are always shocked when he bursts onstage and works the audience into a frenzy. An extremely dedicated bandleader, over the years he has evolved to cover a diverse repertoire that features everything from classic rock to dance and funk. His ability to sing such a wide range of styles, his determination and strong work ethic accounts for his success in and around Winnipeg and south west Ontario where he is almost always booked at one of the top clubs or social and charity events. He has also opened for such rock legends as Trooper and Harlequin. However it was his uncanny resemblance and comparisons to Jon Bon Jovi that finally convinced him to develop the concept of Bed of Roses.

Rick Kemp as Richie Sambora - lead guitar/vocals

Rick is an unmatchable "Richie Sambora"! Not only astounding on lead guitar, Rick's vocals and ability to handle harmonies compliment frontman Darryl perfectly to create the ultimate duo just like the real thing. Always a huge Bon Jovi fan, Rick looks back on one drunken night about 12 years ago belting out the harmonies to "Bed of Roses" on a crowded dance floor. While his dance partner may not have been impressed,... his dream is realized today playing the role of Richie Sambora in Canada's #1 Bon Jovi Tribute. Rick has been in and around the Canadian music scene since the mid 80's. A graphic designer by trade, when Rick isn't kickin it with BED OF ROSES he is busy designing for print and broadcast television.

Gilles LeSage as Hugh McDonald - bass guitar/vocals

Gilles is a talented self taught musician who has been involved in the Winnipeg music community since 1987. His funky, solid groove on bass guitar is ear-catching and irresistible. While playing in the local club scene he has also been a part of some great recording acts. Gilles has performed throughout Canada from Thunder Bay ON to Victoria BC and even ventured to a chilly Yellowknife, NWT. After taking a short break from the "scene", he is excited to be reunited with great friends and fellow musicians with BED OF ROSES. When Gilles is not belting out awesome bass lines with BED OF ROSES he is "flying high"… while working for an airline traveling all over the world.

Rob Mills as Tico Torres - Drums

Lovingly known as "The Beef", Rob grew up on the road with his musical family traveling all over the country. A talented self-taught musician, his own career began to take off. He found himself playing in the Casinos of Winnipeg and in the finest clubs all over Canada. He has opened for such bands as Platinum Blonde and Honeymoon Suite. He also did a stint with a Johnny Cash tribute. He loves playing to large audiences and is looking forward to traveling the country and across our borders to play for enthusiastic Bon Jovi fans. Darryl and Rob go back to the early 90's when the played together in a cover band for over a year. After losing touch they are glad to have joined forces again to make Bed of Roses a reality.

Trevor Uruski as David Bryan - keyboards/vocals

Trevor has played with numerous bands in the club scene across western Canada and North West Ontario since 1984. He was an original member of the ABBA tribute Supertrooper which has performed since 2000. While touring with Supertrooper, Trevor performed in many Casinos and Summer Festivals. As well, Trevor has worked as a school band teacher since 1990 in Winnipeg School Division, and presently teaches at Churchill High School in Winnipeg.
