Brent Miller - lead vocals/piano

Born and raised in Calgary, AB, Brent has the spirit of a cowboy with the good graces of a western gentleman.  Admitting that he was just not cut out for the rodeo, he relocated to Toronto in 2006 with his then-successful alternative rock band Supernal.  Brent started his new funky journey as a lead-singer/piano-man in 2009, laying the groundwork for what would later become Jetcoaster.

FUN FACTS:  Brent spent his childhood laboring away through Royal Conservatory exams on the piano (still has trouble listening to Classical music without cringing.) He graduated from the University of Calgary with a degree in Communications/Poli-Sci and spent some time as a Toronto radio personality.
 


Dave Servinis - guitar

Dave grew up on the other side of the tracks, Hamilton that is.  He started his musical career playing with a few bluesy cover bands in the hammer before relocating to Toronto.  Before joining up with Jetcoaster, Dave was rocking it out with Echo Riot while earning a diploma at the Harris Institue for Music.  When he isn't on stage himself, Dave teaches guitar at Rock This Way (if you would llike a guitar lesson, you can message him here.)

FUN FACTS:  Dave collects guitars the way some people collect children; he has 11 right now (and would probably accept a reasonable offer on at least one or two of them.)  He also enjoys a good noodle bowl.

Sarah Giles - bass

There is a reason why Sarah is so darned likeable; she is secretly an east-coaster.  Splitting her childhood up between Halifax and Russell ON  (a small town just outside of Ottawa), she grew up a country mouse with big-city eyes.  Graduating from Humber College in 2008 for bass guitar, her first live shows came by way of jazzy cover bands with college friends. Fresh onto the Toronto music scene, Sarah is ready to show the city exactly how funky a country mouse can be!

FUN FACTS:  Sarah loves puppies.  She loves looking at pictures of puppies.  She loves those websites that showcase a new cute puppy everyday.  She loves calendars with puppies representing every month of the year.  She also likes to go camping (puppies are optional.)



Jonny Swank - drums/percussion

If you need a refresher course in what a "man's man" looks like, Jonny is your, er...man!  When he isn't hitting the drums, Jon is busy surfing, motorbiking, cold-water-body-boarding, jet-setting around the world or...tweeting about it.  His career on the skins offers the same rich diversity, ranging from the Rubber Soul Band (motown), Supernal (alternative) to RPM (rock and roll.)  It was in Supernal that Jon and Brent first collaborated, laying the groundwork for what would become a much, much funkier band than either had ever expected.

FUN FACTS:  Jon used to have a full beard.  He secretly loves puppies too.
