 Stephane Coulombe.
Lead-Guitar/Vocals
Born in Smith Falls Ontario and Introduced to music at a very young age, Stéphane always wanted to play guitar just like his old man Rodger Coulombe. (Who's been playing guitar/banjo and steel professionally since 1978.)
If some of you have seen Stephane play you may wonder why he plays guitar upside-down.(with the small string on top) turns out that when his dad, Rodger, was out playing music in clubs, Steph would sneak in to Dad's guitar room to play with Dad's nice guitars. Not knowing any better, he would play them left handed.By the time he noticed that he was playing on the wrong side, he had already started playing a few chords and didn't want to start it all over again, so he just kept playing guitar left handed and is doing a fine job of it !
Growing up in the music business, Stephane has had the pleasure of playing with some of Ottawa Valley's best such as, Chris McCann , Lauren Hall , Ralph Carlson, Ron McMunn , Dusty King Jr., Mac Berube, and many more. Stephane has also played with various bands, including Unwound, Straight Goods, Changes, Country reflexion's and now has settled in with Next In Line.
Steph is not only a great guitar player, he also plays drums and piano and lap- steel.

Buddy McCann
He drums, he sings, he plays harp...and even cowbell.....all at the same time! Buddy has been drumming since before he could walk (we're pretty sure, and thats what the family says). A versatile vocalist, amazing harp player and one of the best drummers youre likely to see, Uncle Bud has really brought the bottom end of the band together since he joined us in 2007. He's played all the bars, and graced the stage with musicians far too many to name. His experience, musical talent and sense of humour are all assets to this group, and we wouldn't change it for the world.

Casey McCann
Lead vocal/Rhythm
Raised in the valley, Casey was destined for music. It was unavoidable. Part of the large, musical McCann family, there weren't two ways about it. Sing on Sunday, jam at a legion or the Moose on Wednesday, Tyler and Jamie are coming over saturday night for a few songs, sing with the family for St. Patty's day....it never ended. We're glad it didn't, because it produced quite a few fine musicians. Casey, is one of them.
Casey personifies live music. He has energy, stage presence, a great voice and makes his guitar sing on stage. We're just glad we could get him to come back from Eganville to share it with us!

Tyler Wood
Bass/Vocals
At a very tender age, Tyler's natural musical abilities began to surface. Due in part to the fact that Tyler has the McCann blood in him, it goes without saying that involvement in music was inevitable. He is one of those people who can pick up just about any instrument and learn it off the cuff. He is not only a great bass player, but also a versatile vocalist with quite a range that blows everyone away.
Tyler, much like the rest of Next In Line, has jammed with numerous great musicians in his time on stage or off. Names such as Trevor Finlay, The McCann family (of course), Dusty King Jr., Rod (The Reverend) Williams, Carl Cesar, Rodger Coulombe, Mike Hamelin, Maria Hawkins and many others.
