Dennis
Meneely
Years ago Dennis’ Mom said day
after day “time to practice your piano Dennis”.
Young Dennis although at the time thinking he had more important
things to do, gave in and trundled off to the piano stool.
Pretty soon going to the piano stool became a passion, which
culminated in 5 years at the Royal Conservatory.
All the formal training never got in the way for his love of Rock
and Roll. From his beginning
groups Why Us, Coloured Rain, A Group Called Mud and the 49th
Parallel, Dennis perfected his style and honed his chops.
He currently plays in a number of bands including Tacoy Ryde who he
has performed, written and recorded with for over a decade.
As well he finds time to play with the 1980’s rockers Toronto.
Dennis has performed with Streetheart, Jato, Kenny Shields Band,
The Hootin Annies and Jack Semple.
He has a wealth of experience in
the studio as well as having written and recorded everything from
originals to soundtracks and jingles.
Dennis is a perfectionist with a lot of soul.
His boogie woogie style piano and organ chops along with his vocals
serve him well as an integral member of A Fist Full of Blues not to
mention his wit and audience interaction when playing live.
