The Wiremen

 is a 5-piece Roots Rockin’ Rhythm & Blues act that is comprised of seasoned and established international  musicians from Central Alberta. They deliver an up-tempo, hi-energy professional show that gets people off their seat and on the dance floor. You will hear a classic, diverse and exciting selection of swinging Rock & Roll and Rhythm & Blues numbers, mixed with The Wiremen’s grooving, hard driving originals.

 Frontman/Rhythm Guitarist Creed Henry Taylor recently relocated his family to Alberta from Austin, Texas, where he was a bandleader since 1991, enjoying a fruitful success as a singer/songwriter playing the top clubs and festivals. Taylor has shared the stage with dozens of name artists and his band was the sole opening act for Blues master James Cotton, R&B legend Delbert McClinton and rock icon Bob Dylan. Creed has sought out the right musicians for “The Wiremen”, not only in abilities but their solid commitment to the vision and the music.

 Next to join was veteran Alberta Drummer/Vocalist Arne Mack. Since 1969, Arne has been laying down the beat for countless Alberta bands and has also led his own projects, including SRO, which was Alberta’s top cabaret band. A great singer/songwriter also, Arne is an ARIA member and well respected in the Alberta music community.

Lead Guitarist/Vocalist Chris Schueller was the next addition. A unique and powerful player, Chris was tearing up the festivals and clubs in Germany for many years fronting the blues rock band One Dog Town before moving to Alberta. A terrific songwriter to boot, Chris sets the stage afire with his fiery but tasteful licks.

Roy James has seen and done it all - he has been up and down the road fronting Rock, Blues and Country Bands for decades. With his 1976 Fender Jazz Bass, a phenomenal voice and great stage presence he works hard in the engine room of the band, laying down the groove with an edgy, wiry sound.

Last to join- but certainly not least - was killer harpman/ sax player Ron Halliday- who was born in Scotland!  With a soaring style, Ron binds the signature licks and leads. A multi instrumentalist and great singer, he may even change to his flute in midsong. As a veteran of many Calgary based blues bands,  he is the spice of the group.

We couldn't do it without Len 'Mad Dog' Mannen - a competent soundman and professional photographer who also handles bookings!  When the night is over, Len puts on his Road Manager hat and makes sure the band gets on the road and set up for the next gig in record time.
