STEPHANIE WESTDAL

Stephanie Westdal has travelled the world and human experience as a musician.

Her original songs cover a lot of ground, but so does she. Bilingual, a celebrated visual artist as well, it started in her hometown of Winnipeg, then years in Africa, the Middle East and Europe, and back to Winnipeg.

Her musical fuse ignited fronting ‘90s buzz-band Chains On 20, with debut album Finally and hot single Bleed getting national airplay and acclaim.

Westdal heard the call of the globe and set off to find deeper meaning in her music, art and life.

Inspired by international music friends, and her longtime Winnipeg production collaborator Chris Burke-Gaffney (Chantal Kreviazuk, MacKenzie Porter, Eagle & Hawk, etc.), she would craft a pair of solo albums: Into The Blue and ShaBooBoo Burger.

Now there are more songs and stages radiating from Westdal. Some people get world-weary, but she is world-inspired as well as world-wise. Her new material comes from somewhere on the map of the world or the map of life. She’s been all over both, and more places to go.

Find her on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Channel, and follow her on Instagram.

TOM BRODBECK

Tom’s solid rhythms and funky grooves are a big part of the Stephanie Westdal Band sound. Delivered through studio-quality electronic drums, Tom’s flawless beats and tasteful fills provide the band with a dynamic foundation that supports the group’s wide range of musical genres.
Tom began playing night clubs and touring major cities across Canada at a young age. As a founding member of the Canadian pop/rock band See Spot Run in the 1980s, Tom learned the intricacies of the music business and gained valuable experience in the recording studio, including with record producer and former April Wine member Gary Moffet.
Tom, who grew up in Montreal and has lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba since 1990, prides himself in providing the right drumming for the right song. He is just as comfortable texturizing melodies with tasteful conga and timbale rhythms as he is filling the dance floor with driving drum beats.
With well over 2,000 live performances under his belt, Tom’s in-the-pocket drumming, backing vocals and musicianship are an integral part of a Stephanie Westdal Band performance.

BOB KUJANPAA

Bob Kujanpaa’s tasteful and melodic bass playing is one of the driving forces behind the Stephanie Westdal Band’s signature sound. He brings 20+ years of experience across multiple genres to the stage. It is pop/rock where this multi-instrumentalist (Bob also plays guitar and mandolin) shines the most, delivering strong rhythmic patterns that complement and support Stephanie’s rhythm guitar and soulful vocals.
Bob and Tom have played together in a variety of musical projects over the years and developed a solid rhythm section that provides the band with a surprisingly full sound for a trio. Bob was born and raised in Manitoba and is based out of Winnipeg.
