Scott Bell
was born and raised in Morden, Manitoba - home of the fabulous Corn and Apple Festival. Forced into piano lessons at an early age, Scott continues to practice the instrument annually. Supported by parents who steadfastly refuse to miss his public performances, Scott attended the University of Manitoba to study art and run track for the U of M Bisons, where he met team mate Frank MacLean. Strangely, Scott never knew fellow Mordenite Warren until introduced to him by Frank. Scott is married to a wonderful gal named Lisa, plays bass and keyboards and teaches high school art and graphic design.
   

Frank MacLean
grew up in Thompson, Manitoba. He inherited his guitar-playing ability and love of the Beatles from his father, who as a young man was an East Coast musician. Performing Elvis impersonations at an early age at his older sister's parties solidified his future as a performer. Frank left Thompson for Winnipeg, where he became a high jump champion, earned a physical education degree, and met Scott Bell and Warren Massey at the University of Manitoba. The three have now been playing together for over a decade. When not writing songs, playing heroic guitar, and singing, Frank is a school teacher.
   

Warren Massey
hails from Morden, Manitoba, and now resides in Winnipeg. Warren began playing drums in various bands as a teenager, at a time when he had lots of hair. Warren met Frank MacLean while living in a luxurious residence at the University of Manitoba, where he earned a degree in Engineering. Warren sings, plays drums and percussion, and in his spare time manages technology for a medical supply company.
   

Jane Moody
grew up in Winnipeg in a musical family, in which Jane learned to sing and play the cello beautifully. Jane met the other Dingleberries while working with Scott at a trendy retail outlet that featured the letters G, A, and P. Besides lending a unique instrumental and vocal element to the band, Jane is a psychiatrist, wife and mother.
   

Derek Robertson
's origins remain enshrouded in mystery, but it is known that he has been, and/or continues to be a competitive bodybuilder, a restaurant manager, an all-star hockey goalie, a musician and a newlywed. Derek is a relative newcomer to the Dingleberries, but his instrumental versatility, vocal range, and encyclopedic knowledge of all music eighties, makes him a virtual human jukebox.
   


Larry Solinski
is an enigma, wrapped in a puzzle, hidden in a mystery. Larry is a citizen of the world, often traveling in his "magical blue van". Larry is a first rate sound engineer familiar to those that frequent the Pyramid Cabaret and the Winnipeg Folk Festival. Larry plays bass in many bands, including the Dingleberries.
