Bob is a veteran performer and a comsumate Floyd-ologist. Equally adept with several musical gifts, he brings much more than amazing guitar chops to the band. Bob is also a lifelong PF fan who has recorded several PF covers from his home studio in Toronto. His meticulous work ethic in recreating this music accurately has raised the standard by which Floyd Factor judges it's live product. His dynamic stage presence, and the incredible intensity of his playing leaves a an impression almost as big as his sound (or him!). Visit Bob on MySpace at: http://www.myspace.com/bobbysparrow

Chloe Watkinson has been singing her whole life, and has been performing since she was 7 years old. In addition to being a deep appreciator of PF's music, she's also a highly trained vocalist, with tremendous range. Always on the go, Chloe loves what she does, and anyone can hear her passion. She has studied with teachers such as Micah Barnes (of the nylons) and Louise Lambert, and went Rosedale Heights School of the Arts. Her feature turns in the show include her amazing Great Gig In the Sky, Eclipse, and Mother. Raised in a professional musical family, she is passionate about singing, as every Floyd Factor audience can attest. Chloe's voice brings the house down every night, without fail.

Steve Horvath - Keyboards, B/Vocals |
|
|
|
An enthusiastic & dynamic performer, Steve has a wealth of pro experience with many Toronto cover & tribute bands (Mama Kin, Yesterday, Tyrus, etc.), going back over 20 years. A confirmed Floyd fan for all of them, Steve was perfectly suited to provide the complex sonic landscapes & stylistic sounds of PF’s Rick Wright. Steve recreates so many PF keyboard sounds, and the parts of two or more players, with only his two hands (and the occasional foot). His vintage Hammond organ enhances the band’s show with authentic washes of majestic sound that are capable of producing actual flashbacks! Contributing backing vocals, Steve is also the humorous conscience of the band, and keeps everyone smiling. The light side of the moon! Visit Stevie on MySpace at: http://www.myspace.com/steviej2j

Chris Hume - Bass, Vocals |
|

|

A well-seasoned pro with a 20+ years of touring work across Canada under his belt, with bands like Deepest Purple and Shovelhead Jones, Chris has performed literally thousands of shows. But he jumped at the chance to realize a long held desire to perform the work of PF, his favourite band. Bringing an intimate knowledge of Rogers Waters’ bass lines to the band, Chris also posesses the warm, earthy voice that distinguishes David Gilmour’s vocals. A master of the bass, Chris expertly fills out the huge bottom end of FF’s sound. Having been a rabid Floyd fan (not literally, though sometimes we wonder…) for many years, he truly relishes performing this material. Which he does with sincerity, boundless energy and warmth.

‘
Dre is a fellow Floyd-ian who has played in numerous original & cover acts in the Toronto area over the past two decades. He has an extensive recording portfolio, from commercial jingles to albums, and has performed/worked with some of Canada’s best (Ron Sexsmith, Terry Brown, etc.). Dre’ performs the amazingly uncanny Waters vocals in FF’s show, as well as brilliant guitar solos that often inspire audiences to spontaneously applaud! His British vocal inflections are the capping touch! The Floyd Factor project has been the realization of a long held dream of Andre’s, as he has been a dedicated follower of PF for many years, and knows virtually every note the band has ever recorded.
