Fiasco Band Members
Gord Milne has been in the music scene in the Shuswap for almost 18 years playing bluegrass and acoustic music in the “Skillet Lickers Bluegrass Band”, “Two Guys in Cheap Suits”, “The Young and the Rest of Us” and many more wacky configurations. He is a bit of a strange duck as he plays his guitar and mandolin backwards and upside down due to his left handedness.
He teaches music in Sunnybrae at the “Sunnybrae Academy of Acoustic Music”
He and his partner Joan have been hosts of the popular “Sunnybrae Coffee House” for 9 years.

Joan Robertson was basically forced into playing washtub bass with the “Skillet Lickers Bluegrass Band” and soon decided that one string was just not enough. She got herself a stand up bass and has never looked back. Joans solid playing holds the whole thing together .
Leon Power started at two years old, playing chopsticks on a cardboard box. By the time he was in the 6th grade he was playing drums. From there he picked up guitar and last year graduated from Selkirk College majoring in performance arts. He has performed with numerous local acts including “The HooDoos”, “Sandy Cameron Quartet”, “General Mojo and his Well Laid Plan” and the “Pete Soberlak Band”.

Jacob Verburg has been playing guitar since the age of 11. By the time he was a teenager he was one of the most sought after musicians in the area. A graduate of the Vernon School of Music and The Selkirk College performing arts program, Jacob has played with “The HooDoos”, “Sandy Cameron Quartet”, “Dark Horizon”, “High Point”, “Pete Soberlak Band”, and Jamengo.
