Shawn Brady Bono
Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica, Keyboard Sequencing

In his role as "Bono", Brady has been described by concert reviewers worldwide as having "infectious energy", "soaring vocals", " precise and passionate delivery" and a "knack for truly connecting with the audience". To ensure he looks and sounds the part, Brady uses Vox amps, Shure Beta 58 wireless microphones, Armani sunglasses, Gibson acoustic and Gretsch Irish Falcon guitars. The intense energy Brady brings to the shows comes in part from his marathon running background. He has placed in 2 major marathons: Chicago (where he ran his personal best of 2:27) and Honolulu (where he placed 12th out of 25,000 runners only 4 hours after attending U2's concert in Hawaii). Brady is a physical therapist by background and is the Director of Interprofessional Practice at a major Toronto hospital. He also tours with his solo-acoustic act that includes an interesting and vast array of unplugged covers. http://www.shawnbrady.com

Kevin Strom The Edge
Guitar, Background Vocals, Keyboards

In his role as 'The Edge', Kevin has done extensive research and sourced out a lot of the gear used by the U2 guitarist. The end result is a setup very close to Edge's, consisting of Vox amps, Gibson & Fender guitars as well as various rack and pedal effects. Kevin is endorsed by the Indie Guitar Co. and uses an Indie Rickenbacker 12-string replica which sounds even better than the real thing! Kevin has been playing guitar from the early age of 6 and his love of music has allowed him to earn a degree from the Atlanta Institute of Music where he graduated with honors. In addition to his playing and wild solos, Kevin always delivers with his pitch perfect background vocals. Comments from U2 fans such as "I've never heard anyone re create Edge's sounds like you have", "I'd swear 'The Edge' was there last night" & "are you the Edge in disguise?" is what makes this all worth while. The role of 'The Edge' has been very rewarding for Kevin whose attention to detail has allowed him to not only sound the part but look it too by replicating various costumes throughout the decades.

Mick Barnard Adam Clayton
Bass Guitar

As a long-time U2 fan Mick is the perfect choice to take on Adam's role in the band. Many, including some who know Adam personally, have commented on his close physical resemblance to Adam, and his on stage presence and bass playing are uncannily similar too. Mick uses Ashdown amps and Tokai and Fender basses in order to achieve the most authentic sound possible. As well as his musical contribution to Elevation he is extensively involved in the multimedia aspect of the shows, an increasingly important role as the band moves into larger venues. Mick first saw U2 on the "Boy" tour and has followed the band ever since. "When I first saw U2 perform I knew I was seeing something really special. They've justified my early faith in them a thousand times since then and playing their music with three such talented musicians is a genuine pleasure."
