Dazzling guitar solos and lead vocals are provided by Barry G. Player; Roger Colpitts brings his fabulous vocals and incredible bass technique to the table while the “Rock” solid foundation is held down by Rick Meurrens, a powerful yet truly musical drummer.

BGP has opened up in the past for Molly Hatchet, Joan Jett, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Trooper, Harlequin, Jack Semple, Doctor Hook, and most recently for King’s X.

BGP’s 3 song EP, “…Just A Taste”, was released late in 2003. Each song has received air play on Winnipeg radio station 92 CITI FM.

“Kicking axe. Aptly named guitar hero Barry Player may well be the fastest gun in town. But he’s also talented enough to know chops aren’t all it’s about.
