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.

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.

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.
