Fat Shadows

Robert Reynolds
Band leader and driving force behind the group, Robert comes from an acting background, but music - and in particular, songwriting – has become his first love. In addition to his primary roles as lead singer/songwriter and front man, he provides excellent harmonica solos and some rhythm guitar.

Carole Laprise
Carole is actually an artist and teacher of visual arts who has only recently ventured into the realm of music – and with considerable success, it seems. Her tangy harmonies apply colour to each song as a brush applies colour to a canvas. Her lead vocals are a most sweet addition to the show.

Jonquil Garrick
“Jake”, as she is affectionately known, comes to Fat Shadows from the world of drama. Her acting skills lend considerable presence to the group’s stage performances. Vocally, she has a flair for blending and contributes much to the cohesiveness of the backing vocals. Her lead vocals add a most exciting addition to Fat Shadows show

John Rossi
Much of Fat Shadows’ distinctive musical flavour is due to the presence of John “The Stick” Rossi who learned his trade as drummer and percussionist in rock & rhythm & blues bands. He can be subtle and he can be dramatic, but he is always tasteful, always rhythmic and always attuned to the music.

Gregg Smithers
Gregg came to Fat Shadows in a funny way and has stayed funny ever since. Gregg has graced the stage all over Eastern Ontario with different bands, playing guitar, keyboards, and other assorted instruments. His gig fashions are legendary, regularly blinding unsuspecting audience members. Gregg’s unconventional guitar licks burst upon you suddenly, but play in your head for hours.

Jason McDonald
Jason has traveled many roads to join Fat Shadows, from Montreal punk rock through Toronto rock and now back to rural routed. Jason plays rhythm guitar, and will sing if prodded, but the real reason he was hired is that he understands computers. This Renaissance man can be recognized as the one leaning out of the photographs.

Shannon Weese
Fat Shadows decided they needed a bottom ,so along came Shannon. Shannon is a seasoned musician, having played for many years in many bands. He feels he is home now, adding his magic to Fat Shadows.

Fat Shadows is a seven piece band that guarantees you a FUN time whether you are up on your feet dancing or sitting back and singing along.

"Robert Reynolds" or"Robert Reynolds & Friends". Robert Jonquil & Carolealso performs as a trio, providing a slightly more folk oriented show. Robert Reynolds & Friends can be accompanied by Jason McDonald on guitar depending on the venue. This one man or trio or duo show has proven to be a most fun filled experience for all.
