TYLER (ED) JOHNSON
Vocals

BRAD (B-MAC) MACINTOSH
Drums and Vocals
B-Mac has played drums and provided Vocals for The Beatles Tribute Band “Liverpool” which toured across Canada in top live music venues and Casinos. The Vinyl Prophets had the good fortune of having B Mac hold the pocket and he is excited to bring that powerful rhythm and driving beat into the Hollywood Persuasion project.
JEAN BRAD (B-RAD) HAMILTON

PETER KZYZYK
Lead Guitar and Rhythm Guitar
Peters passion for Collective Soul music is apparent though the rich tones of his PRS guitar combined with his Mesa Amp that goes to “11”. When Hollywood Persuasion hits the stage the enthusiasm Peter has for Collective Soul music also goes to “11”!
IAN LOUGHRAN
Rhythm and Lead Guitar
Ian is an accomplished steel slide guitar player who is a fresh import from Canadian rock classics cover band “Hat Trick” providing a lot of soul to the Hollywood Persuasion sound! Being particular about his guitar tone is further complimented by Ians’ technical ability as a guitar player. He keeps us on our toes wondering which guitar he is playing next! Ians’ motto has always been “Let’s Gel” and that suits Hollywood Persuasion just fine!
