Sebastian Fleet began playing the viola at four before eventually falling in love with the guitar. Performing professionally since his teenage years, Sebastian received scholarships to study jazz guitar in Toronto with later stops in Montreal. Since returning home, Sebastian has been in various collaborations (Usse, The Exhortations, Owen Steel) with the most active bands being the Jazz Loyalty Program and the Seb Fleet Band. Sebastian has taught ukulele, bass and guitar at Long & McQuade for several years. Along with writing and producing his own music, teaching music has also been a joy.
Joining Sebastian will be Rebecca Dobbelsteyn. Rebecca is a professional musician in the Saint John area. She sings a variety of venues and events, ranging from solo performances on the Saint John Boardwalk to joining local band Jazz Loyalty Program at the Moonlight Bazaar and other regular performances.
