“The Fabulous RAVE” - 'Neil MacIsaac'
Neil plays lead guitar and provides lead vocals
in "The RAVE". He is a founding member of the

(Buddy Holly & Elvis) and has reached second
level in competitions in the annual Collingwood

Benny, in addition to playing drums, is also
an experienced lead vocalist. He dabbles with
guitar and keyboards and is working on songs
for a new CD as well.
Benny enjoys appearing on reality TV shows
and in local movies. Of note, is his audition
to be lead vocalist for INXS (Rockstar) and
the demolition of his shed on 'Disaster DIY.'
He's a friendly guy who teaches yoga in his
spare time and recently went back to school
to realize his desire to become an elementary

“The Fabulous RAVE” - 'Tony Carr'
Tony first saw the light of day on Dec.6, 1943,
under the big top, of circus life where his parents
performed as high platform divers with the
world-famous Conklin Shows. He set himself the
task of becoming a musician, practising tenor sax
for 6 to 8 hours a day. Carr gained a reputation
as a leading rhythm and blues musician, working
with such notables as Rompin' Ronnie Hawkins
and Ben E. King (of "Stand by Me" fame), then
toured for 20 years with his own band....
Tony provides tenor sax, vocals and percussion
and gives “The Fabulous RAVE” fun Rock 'n' Roll
excitement to the vintage tunes and that smooth
laid back jazz sound when the band performs
some of the Oldie but Goodies.
“The Fabulous RAVE” - 'D'Arcy Cain'
D'Arcy has been playing guitar since 1967.
In 2003 he started performing seriously. A
relative newcomer to professional playing,
D'Arcy has been performing with local
musicians for many years now.
D'Arcy plays various instruments. In "The
Fabulous RAVE" he plays a Fender five-string
Jazz Bass with flatwound strings. He also plays
a vintage El Degas P-Bass copy with DiMarzio
Pickups. D'Arcy also plays other instruments
including guitar, keyboard and harmonica.
