James R. Hastings is a professional vocalist, songwriter and guitarist. Born and raised in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada, James currently resides with his wife and daughters in Elora, Ontario. James earliest singing moments were jumping on the bed with a hairbrush microphone singing along to his mothers Journey eight tracks. He, with his father and two older brothers, played the guitar and sang around the campfire and kitchen table. But it was James uncle Paul Hastings, a talented musician who tragically drowned at the age of 17, who most influenced his desire to further his musical endeavours. James studied Classical Voice at the Maritime Conservatory of Performing Arts in Halifax, Nova Scotia, under the instruction of Jason Parkhill. He gained performance experience in community theatre and small bands and spent five years performing with the Grafton Street Dinner Theatre. Ultimately he dreams of quitting his day job to focus on singing as a full-time career.

Bob Wegner - Guitars - Bob began a lifetime of creating music at age 5 on the piano, leading him to compete in several Kiwanis competitions with minimal success. He picked up the guitar at age 12, and there began his quest to become a professional musician. After several years of teaching at music studios and playing guitar in various theatre productions, Bob landed the role as one of the two guitarists in the We Will Rock You musical in Toronto after auditioning for Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor. The show entertained nearly a million people over its 2-year run, and it was the winner of the Dora award for best Toronto musical of 2007. Classic Albums Live welcomed Bob into the company in 2011, a diverse pool of musicians dedicated to faithfully recreating some of the best music ever written, note for note, in theatres all around North America. He donned the We Will Rock You flag once again in 2013-14 with a touring version of the show that stretched all across the US, making stops in Canada and Mexico as well.
