Jody Dick
Keys, Vocals & Piano
In 1977 he could be found at New York New York or 40 Thieves Disco wearing a 3 piece black velvet suit with a crisp white shirt and black platform boots. He’s always loved disco and funk music and when the opportunity came about to put together a legitimate Disco Band, some 40 years later, he jumped at the chance. As a co-founder of Tight Hair Disco band along with Chris Lloyd (original guitarist) they held auditions to find the perfect mix of talent to put on a real 70’s Disco Show.
It’s his mission and passion to recreate authentic sounds from the original recordings using his 4 synthesizers.
He’s also a husband, father, grandfather and a pretty darn good golfer.
His biggest kick out of life is watching the people dancing their faces off with a huge smile on their face.
Doug Liseth
Guitar & Vocals
Dougie is a fun lover. He loves the fun-k. With his guitar strap raised high he is assured to create a boogie for the ages. Just don’t ask him to put on roller skates. Raised on a load of soul music and steeped with great crossover bands in an area with little to no disturbances from the outside world. Your boy caught the bug for some pretty weird music. But y’all wouldn’t know nothing about getting weird would you?
Evert Pater
Bass
A 30 year veteran of the Canadian music scene, originally Toronto based, now Victoria, Evert has made the journey through industrial music, psychedelic thrash, garage rock, indie rock, and yes, even country to finally land in the disco groove. You never know where the bottom end may go…
