Vorasek

We started off in 2009 playing open mics in Kingston's downtown area. We'd do multiple nights each week. Then as word spread, we got asked to host our own weekly music showcase in the community, and eventually moved on to playing shows around Ontario as an all original rock band. We released our debut album, "Hold On," in the summer of 2011. You can preview and purchase it online at the Amazon MP3 store, or on iTunes.

We draw a lot of influence from classic rock, such as Zeppelin, the Stones, the Beatles, Black Sabbath, The Who. It's all undeniably good music. Music that we, our fans, and a lot of other people enjoy. We like to think we're continuing on from where some of those bands left off. We're creating new music that gives off the feel and energy of classic rock. We're a fresh, marketable rock group who's ready to take the world by storm.

On drums is Joe Pelow, graphic designer and sponsored skateboarder. He played bass in high school, but coming from a musical family, picked up the drums naturally, and began drumming for Vorasek. Joe does all the graphic work for the band.

Bassist, Ted Evans provides back up vocals on most tracks and takes lead for some as well. Ted also manages the band's affairs in booking and promotion. He writes for their various sites, and contributes greatly to songwriting and arrangement.

Pat Marshall has a captivating stage presence, as the lead singer and guitarist for the band. Patrick plays a large part in songwriting, arranging, writing lyrics, and producing most Vorasek songs.

Jeebs Simpson fills out the Vorasek sound as their second guitarist. He picked up and fit into the Vorasek sound quite quickly when he joined the group in 2010. Jeebs worked as the band's sound engineer on their debut album, "Hold On," Released in 2011.
