The Wood Shed Retrospective - Mark Ripp and Bob Hamlyn (Musicians)

Today’s guests have strong and long-standing ties to the Newman community.  The roots are strong…and they run deep.

These two very talented musicians formed part of Toronto Rock band The Belvistas that toured alongside other notable artists, including the Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, Tom Cochrane, Jeff Healey and many more.

These days Mark and Buzz still enjoy making music on their own, but they still get together to play as part of another musical project known as Stone Blue. 

Maybe some of our listeners, like myself, have had the privilege of hearing them play back when that was something that we did…

  Today’s very enjoyable and light-hearted discussion explores their long and ongoing journey in music and reflect on all the gifts that a career in music has given them.  Please welcome to The Bluff, Mark Ripp and Bob Hamlyn.
