Cliff Lattery has been absent from the music scene for 25 years. He decided to get back in the saddle and start singing again. His upper range vocals have opened the band up to a lot of music that most male singers can't cover in the original key. Along with his theatrical background, he makes a great frontman, keeping the crowd involved at all times.
Don Parker has been playing guitar since he was a teen. Most of his playing was with bands in the Ottawa area until moving to BC. Since then he has played with several local bands as well as being the guitarist for the Vernon Glee Club live shows from 2016 to 2019.
Lisa Parsons has been in the band world since moving to the Okanagan in her mid teens. She has been performing since she was a child. Playing everything from Baroque to Rock. Lisa enjoys passing on her love of music to the next generation as a ARCT Piano Performer and Teacher. She pursues artistic strategies to share the energy that good music creates. An impressive and talented keyboard player, Lisa fills out the sound of the band in a big way.
Darcy McFarland has been playing bass with assorted Okanagan area bands for many years and comes from a background of Classic rock, Hard Rock, R&B, Funk, Blues, Mo-town, and Country Rock. He has a great passion for the instrument and lives to play music.
Darcy Ross is an accomplished drummer and vocalist. He has performed since he was 14 years old in many of the best known and successful bands in the Okanagan. His tight percussion skills are the foundation of the band.
ROCKANAGAN will have you singing along

Review
It is my absolute pleasure to recommend the incredidbly talented ROCKANAGN. With a pleasantly upbeat, diverse, and fresh set list coupled with the combined years of experience that the members of this band bring to the table, we were thrilled to see standing room only every time we have had the privilege of having them on our stage. They will permanently be in our favorite dance band rotation!
