BONE YARD 225 is a fortunate assembly of some of the most seasoned and experienced musicians hailing from Sault Ste. Marie Canada. This high energy power trio has been rocking night clubs, festivals, and many other events in the area since 2009. They've also been fortunate enough to have opened for many touring acts over the years.
Their vast repertoire of cover songs are predominantly classic rock tunes spanning over many decades. With their unique approach, combined with their "in your face" sound and high energy, they will have you experiencing those familiar songs as if you were hearing them for the first time.
These guys are bad ass rockers on stage but have huge hearts for their community chairing and co-chairing 2 large fund raising events: TOYSTOCK and THE DRAGONFLY RUN
What have they been up to lately you ask? Well besides playing live as much as they can, they are now embarking on a musical journey writing and recording their own music. Their first single will be released in late spring on all major streaming platforms for your listening pleasure. They want to expand their fan base not only with their online presence but also by putting their high energy live show on the road. Let us bring the BONE YARD 225 experience to your city!
Founder and front man of the band is GREG SIMPSON. Greg is a natural performer with an infectious personality and energy, guaranteed to charge up a crowd, even from behind the drums. With well over 30 years in the industry, there is no doubt that he is a seasoned player that always brings his A game.
Playing the skinny strings is ALEX DETTORRE. He is a seasoned shredder and started his professional music career at the age of 14. Alex's musical journey and influences have given him a profound passion for music and skillful guitar playing. The most common reaction to his playing is simply wow!
Rounding out the bottom end of this power trio is another seasoned vet of the music scene WARREN REVILLE. Over his 40 plus years of playing bass professionally, he has had the opportunity to play with a multitude of musicians from different genres which has made him a well rounded player. His passion for writing and recording music in his own studio has been a big asset to the band.
“I have had the privilege to work with Greg, Alex and Warren for the past eight years in their capacity as the band Bone Yard 225. I am a co-chair of the Sault Ste. Marie Queen Street Cruise Festival. The festival is held in mid June for a 2 day show. Their Quality of entertainment is outstanding. They are very professional regardless of what your first impression might make you think. Over these years we have found ourselves in a number of situations. These guys have always worked with me and made sure that the show must go on. They did what ever it took to entertain. I want to thank them all personally for a job well done, and am looking forward to our show this June 14th and 15th, 2024 at the Roberta Bondar Pavilion. I didn't really know them before I started working with them but I now consider them friends. Good luck gentleman on your future endeavours.”
