Garrick Tyas, A.K.A. "The Fiddleguy", lives in Prince Edward County. Garrick plays the fiddle and the mandolin as well being a prolific composer. He has performed in numerous bands and also has considerable experience in theatre, TV and film. Garricks's "performance space, gallery and recording studio" is located at 318 Front St., Belleville, Ontario and is aptly called "The Fiddleguy's Place".
Stuart Mitchell, also living in Prince Edward County, is of strong Scottish heritage and began drumming at 8 years young. Since then he has played many percussive instruments but his mainstay is the drumset. After obtaining his music degree Stuart has recorded, played and toured for many acts - large and small - and always manages to maintain a low profile.

Listeners, prepare to be shaken, stirred and confounded by the unique sound created when Garrick Tyas (strings) and Stuart Mitchell (percussion) combine their virtuosity, their vision and their sense of high adventure and take you along for the ride.

Taken as a whole, the songs on “QUIETLY LOUD” are beguiling …
