BIOGRAPHY:
Kevin and Kevin, the two founders of 2fish started toying with the idea
of a band in the fall of 1995.After a full year of various names and various
lineups, the band now known as 2fish was spawned in the fall of 1996.
Kevin Rogers and Kevin Saunders (two preacher's kids turned preachers / musicians) are the founders and backbone of 2fish. They write the music, the lyrics, produce the songs, and usually book most of the gigs. The traveling band will consist of a two to six piece unit: Kevin Rogers - lead vocals, rhythm guitar, Kevin Saunders - lead vocals, sax, harmonica, percussion, drums etc., are the mainstays. Depending on the type of event and/or venue a bass guitarist, lead guitarist, drummer, and maybe even a keyboard/organist will be added to fill out the sound.
The sound and style 2fish presents is two fold. The band offers sets of alternative worship music, or concert format depending on the venue request, and can fill a large venue with a full band, or a smaller venue with a more unplugged type band. No matter what the format, the sound is the same with a groove reminiscent of The Wallflowers, Dave Matthews Band, or some of your favourite soulful artists from the Motown. "Funk 'n' Soul" is the phrase that best describes the 2fish style, and the unit gels together and plays just as tight as an old rusty coffin nail. Singing songs about real life issues like addictions, homelessness, security, loneliness, and the need we all have for a strong relationship with God, 2fish is not scared to take a stand for their beliefs whether playing for a secular audience or for a Sunday service.
After more than 6 years on the music scene, 2fish has
already played with such notables as Glenn Kaiser, Caedmon's Call, and
Miranda Stone. Some of their more memorable gigs include: Urban Cry Conference
with Tony Campolo & Caedmons Call, SYATP Raly at Toronto's Skydome,
Ontario FireMuster's Festival, The Children's Miracle Network Telethon
Canada, Live jam and
interview on CHWI TV, live performance at Windsor's Devonshire Mall, Twice
opening act and backup band for Glenn Kaiser, headlined at the Windsor
Gospel Fest, part of the Windsor/Detroit Blues Fest, Summer 98, 4 consecutive
summers played for a week long HMI pro hockey camp for teenagers, which
included working with NHL stars John Vanbiesbrouck, Mark Osborne, and
Adam Burt and more.
2fish released their first studio project on June 4th 1999. This project, titled "Little Boy's Lunch", was an alternative worship project that stretched the boundaries of contemporary worship music in Canada and beyond. To date "Little Boys Lunch" has moved more than 1500 units in 7 different countries combined.
2fish released their second project "Live Bait", a live alternative worship recording, in Aug. 2002. The CD was recorded live at New Song Church in Windsor, Ontario, where Kevin Rogers currently pastors.
2fish can also be heard on the Seed Records Volume 1 Compilation CD that was released in the summer of 1999. The CD features 18 songs by 9 Canadian Christian recording artists and is available in many Christian music stores.
More recently in December 2001, the 2fish single "Safe" was release on a multi-media CD put out by Star Theatres of Michigan. The CD (20,000 units) also containing movie trailers, and local event calendars was distributed freely over the 2001 Christmas holidays to movie goers in Michigan.
