Whether it’s the sweaty intimacy of a local club or the roar of a packed festival, they’re here to keep the spirit of Sabbath alive for a new generation
SUPERNAUTS - Member Bios:
Devin McManus - Ozzy (vocals)
Devin never set out to be a singer — he started on guitar and only picked up the mic because he could never find anyone else willing to do it. Somewhere along the way, he discovered he could hit the high notes, and there was no turning back. A lifelong fan of Black Sabbath, Devin’s obsession began in grade 10, spending countless nights after school singing and playing along to We Sold Our Soul for Rock ’n’ Roll. That passion eventually grew into a mission: to channel the raw power and eerie charisma of Ozzy himself. Having gigged on and off since high school, Devin has shared stages with Canadian rock legends like Pat Travers and I Mother Earth. With
SUPERNAUTS, he brings decades of experience, reverence, and a true fan’s energy to every performance.
Ben Foss - Tony Iommy (Guitar)
As the Earth cooled he stood alone with his low slung Les Paul… Ben Foss is a multi-instrumentalist from Peterborough, Ontario. He has been playing professionally for over 20 years. He has been a member of tribute acts such as The Grunge Project, and 8 Track Mined. Ben has played in the pit band for Evil Dead: The musical, and in the house band for Harmony for Healing. He also plays in cover bands such as Sexbomb, and Vern's Comb, and also plays with singer/songwriter Chad Driscoll.
Liam Archer - Bill Ward (Drums)
