Frank Peluso - Drums, Vocals |
|
|
|
|
 Frank Peluso is a 20+ year veteran of the Toronto live music scene, and was the original drummer in Floyd Factor (circa 2006), prior to a nasty injury involving a ladder, a collarbone, and gravity. But he's back 100% and this is awesome news for fans of the band! As some of you will remember, his truly phenomenal energy on the drum kit is world-class, not to mention his sublime skills and fantastic vocals. Frank has played & recorded with too many to list here, but he's also a pro photographer and web designer, who you could conservatively refer to as an "audiophile." He grew up with Pink Floyd's music, has seen the tours, and after years of study he brings the style of Nick Mason at his peak powers to every FF performance. All we can say is welcome home,... home again,... Frank!

Alan Zemaitis - Keyboards, Vocals |

 Hailing from Toronto, Alan began taking piano lessons at age 8, while his Dad tastefully spun Pink Floyd records into his conciousness on a constant basis. It was always there... Fast forward to the Rosedale School of the Arts where he began to really explore the Pink Floyd discography. And then Alan was graduating from York University with honours, the Jazz Piano prize, and a depth of musical understanding well beyond his years. Fast forward though some divine coincidences, and he's the newest member of Floyd Factor - the man with Two Wright Hands says it all makes perfect sense now...

Robert Sparrow - Guitars, Keyboards, Vocals |

Rob is a veteran performer and a comsumate musican. Equally adept with several musical gifts, his masterful guitar, vocal & keyboard work is truly inspired. Rob is a lifelong Floyd fan who has recorded several PF covers from his home studio in Toronto. His passion for what he does is evident in every note he plays. His dynamic stage presence, and the incredible intensity of his playing leaves a an impression almost as big as his sound (or him!). Rob was born for the stage, and his solos in Another Brick In The Wall and Pigs are big crowd pleasers, that only bring Gilmour to mind. And he's always handy with a smile and a song. |

Chris Hume - Bass, Vocals |
|
|
|
|
A well-seasoned pro with 20+ years of touring work across Canada under his belt, with bands like Deepest Purple, Cuts Like A Knife, and Shovelhead Jones, Chris has performed literally thousands of shows. Chris grew up with the music of Pink Floyd, and FF is the realization of a long held desire to perform this classic material. Bringing an intimate knowledge of Roger Waters’ bass lines to the band, Chris also posesses the warm, earthy voice that distinguishes David Gilmour’s vocal parts in the show. Chris is an energetic performer, and anyone can see that he loves what he does. When not touring, our "1st baseman" likes to spend time with his young family, and is often found dining on international cuisine, attending JFK Assassination Symposiums, or buying rare musical instruments. |
