guitar/steel/vocals Originally from Toronto, Ontario, Paul relocated to the West Coast in the early 90’s and has earned a reputation as one of the best guitarists around. Although extremely versatile, from Delta Blues to classical music, Paul’s “Cousin Harley” style is deeply rooted in the playing of Les Paul, Charlie Christian and Link Wray with a modern hotrod twist. He has shared the stage with greats such as Taj Mahal, Michael Kaeshammer, Mae Moore, Lee Aaron and the Blind Boys of Alabama as well as recorded with the likes of Mint Records artists Carolyn Mark and Neko Case to name a few. Inexhaustible energy is what Pigat is known for. He’s the high octane that fuels the trio. |

doghouse bass/vocals Arguably the best rockabilly bass player on the West Coast, if not all of Canada, Pete moved to Vancouver (via North Hampton, UK) in 1986. He has worked with the likes of Ray Condo and the Ricochets, Pinetop Perkins, Harpdog Brown, Wanda Jackson, Sun recording artist Sonny Burgess and the list goes on and on. With all the performing and recording Pete has done it’s a wonder he’s not a household name by now. If you haven’t seen him play then you don’t know what you’re missing! Pete is currently based out of Edmonton, Alberta so you may also see Cousin Harley's on-deck bassist... doghouse bass/vocals Unforgettable is what a performance by stand-up bassist Keith Picot is. There have been some great bass players thoughout the years but a player who gives more of himself and is such a joy to watch is decidedly harder to find. Whether singing and leading his own band, or supporting the talents of such bands as Cousin Harley, The Twisters and Juno Award winner Kenny"Blues Boss" Wayne, he always gives 110 percent. With a hard hitting slap style all his own he can drive a beat like the devil, then equally and effortlessly draw out the sweet tones of a saint. You are guaranteed pleasure when watching Keith Picot do what he loves to do. |

drums Born on Vancouver Island and raised on a steady diet of blues and bluegrass, Jesse is Cousin Harley's newest member. After a six year stretch studying music at McGill University in Montreal, Jesse decided to return to the West Coast to pursue his two greatest passions: playing drums and bass fishing. Since arriving in Vancouver he has played just about every kind of music with as many different artists. His resume includes David "Fathead" Newman (Ray Charles Band), Jim Byrnes, Long John Baldry, Dr. Eddie Henderson, PJ Perry, Bobby Shew, Harpdog Brown and many others. He's young, he's aggressive and we like to call him 'Wilden'! |
