who we are
Vocals/Guitar - Ivan Arnerich
As the lead singer of STAGEPASS, Ivan brings a touch of authenticity to every song he sings. Audiences have been quick to compare his vocal talents to those of Dave Dobbyn and Marc Hunter. A gifted musician, Ivan has played a cornerstone role in rock outfits such as 'The Bruce Group' and the all Kiwi tribute band 'Frenzy'. Before joining STAGEPASS, he was heard playing as part of 'joose loosener'.
Guitar/Vocals - Jamie Fisher
In 1989 Jamie started playing guitar and it quickly grew into his passion. Since then he has gained experience in a number of bands including 'Cain','Revival'and most recently 'On The Fly'. Specialising in corporate events Jamie has an extensive repertoire and a real touch of professionalism. His abilities as a vocalist are only outweighed by his guitaring. He has played with many of the area's longest serving pros and is well respectd in the music community.
Bass/Vocals - Chris Dunn
Chris is one of those guys who could just look at a guitar and beautiful sound would come out of it. His feel for the important parts of the song means he delivers the goods every time. Prior to joining STAGEPASS Chris also played bass in 'joose loosener'. Bass is one of his talents, but can also be seen playing mandolin and guitar with members of 'Acousticity' from time to time, and makes up half of the acoustic duo 'Don't Panic'.
Drums/Vocals - Sam Milner
Sam is a talented drummer who is also at home playing guitar and bass. His vocals are a welcome addition to STAGEPASS with not only brilliant harmonies, but he is also happy to take on the lead. At 14'7" tall, he needs a little more legroom than some drummers, but it's worth it to have him on board. Sam can also be heard playing with 'soul2c'. We've decided not to post a real picture of Sam at this stage as we don't think it would be fair to put that much stress on our web host with the extra traffic from all the single ladies out there.
