	Darryl Clayton as Jon Bon Jovi BED OF ROSES front man Darryl Clayton is a dynamic stage performer with an incredible voice that has often been compared to Jon Bon Jovi. He has studied voice with Roy Petty and Juno Award winner Cindi Cain. Somewhat quiet and modest off stage, people are always shocked when he bursts onstage and works the audience into a frenzy. An extremely dedicated bandleader, over the years he has evolved to cover a diverse repertoire that features everything from classic rock to dance and funk. His ability to sing such a wide range of styles, his determination and strong work ethic accounts for his 20+ years success as a singer, musician and band leader. Being a loyal and huge fan since Bon Jovi's inception and his uncanny resemblance and comparisons to Jon Bon Jovi easily convinced him to develop the concept of Bed of Roses.
	Eugene T. Romaniuk as Richie Sambora BED OF ROSES is ecstatic to have such a seasoned, professional guitar player to fill the role of "Richie Sambora"! Eugene was born smack in the middle of Canada in our hometown of Winnipeg. He has also resided in Toronto and Regina. His introduction to music came at the age of six with weekly piano lessons. At the age of 12, after seven years of piano, Eugene discovered the guitar through his junior high guitar program and was placed in Los Guitarres, an advanced program in which he received classical training in addition to concert and touring experience. In High School, Eugene dabbled in the jazz band and continued his guitar studies thereafter with private instruction from Tim Cumming. In the 20 plus years Eugene has been in the music business, he has been a member of a number of the top cover bands in Winnipeg. His influences include Pat Metheny, Steve Vai, Michel Cusson and Steve Lukather.

	Dale Martyniuk as Tico Torres Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Dale received his first set of drums in the third grade for a Christmas present and never looked back. Spending his formative teen years playing in various original and cover bands in school and at the age of sixteen had his first taste of recording in a professional studio. He caught the stage bug early after his first live performance in a local club in Winnipeg and his fate was sealed. Dale hit the road right out of high school honing his skills not only on the drums but as a powerful vocalist as well, dabbling in many different styles such as rock, funk, country, heavy metal, hip-hop, industrial and rap. Dale is not only the heart of a great rhythm section but a charismatic player who is a thrill to watch play. When Dale puts his sticks down, you can either find him cutting hair at Mike’s Place Barber Shop or exploring the depths of our lakes enjoying his second love to music as a scuba diver.
	Glen Davies as Hugh McDonald Glen is a talented self taught musician who has been involved in the Winnipeg music community since 1984. His rock solid grooves on bass guitar are ear-catching and irresistible with a voice to match. While playing in the local club scene, he has also been a part of some great recording acts. Davies has performed throughout Canada both original and cover music from Quebec city to Victoria BC. After taking an extended hiatus from the "scene", he is excited to be reunited with some great friends and fellow musicians with BED OF ROSES. When Glen is not belting out awesome bass lines with BED OF ROSES he is the master of his own construction renovation company, Holmes on bass.
