biographical info
Formed from members of Whole Lotta Milka, Tuesday's Girl, Black Velvet and the Blue Beat, Combo Latino and many other Winnipeg groups, The Wedgewoods are a fine example of the new ska scene in Winnipeg. Known for their energetic live shows, four part harmony vocals and their clever song writing, the group is comprised of Renée Delaurier (lead vocals), Greg Crowe (guitar, vocals), Cristien Lyons (bass, vocals), Patrick Keeler (sax, vocals), Shane Hicks (trumpet), Dennis Gaudry (trombone) and Chris Scholl (drums).
Their self-titled debut CD has become a hot seller in the local ska scene and their name has been spreading across North America. Along with other local bands The Afterbeat, The Barrymores, Sub City Dwellers, JFK and the Conspirators and many others, the Winnipeg Ska scene is quickly becoming the hottest scene in all of Canada... perhaps the world!
