Built on the solid foundation of Todd Gillies on guitar and lead vocals, Chris Gatchene on guitar and vocals, and Dave Hill on bass, the band has re-created their timeless originals and tasteful covers with many different singers, drummers, and keyboard players over the years while touring Canada and the United States and releasing two fantastic albums, Daredevil and Cruelty's Cure in the process. Caution Jam The Caution Jam phenomenon began sometime in 1991 when bass player Les and guitarist Eric Fefferman teamed up to form a variety act based mostly in North American classic folk and blues. As time went on, however, the acoustic duo began welcoming new members into the fold: Mark Crissinger on guitars and vocals, Bruce Griffin on keys, and Bruce Brooker on drums. Thus, defining their own sound through the poetry of the Grateful Dead. Between events, the guys play shows up and down the Trans-Canada all year long. They’ve toured the east coast eight times now and are always in and out of the Toronto circuit, playing gigs at Comfort Zone, Grossman’s Tavern and Jeff Healey’s bar— to name a few. According to the band, they get warm receptions in all places from Windsor to Collingwood, and Fredericton to Antigonish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.G.C. Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Well Todd and I have been discussing the idea of a percussive acoustic band for some time... so xmas time seemed like an open window.. Adam and Dave have played together often so it was a no brainer.. The songs we are working out are loads of fun.. so this should feel folky but dancable given the rythmn section.. good vibes this night for sure as we have all been friends for a long time.. looking forward to pepper jacks gig as well on the 23rd..
