Dear Sinclairs Band Fans:
It is with regret that we
have to post the passing of "The Original" Sinclair
Dr. Greg Bever. Greg was responsible for gathering
up Ken Gloss and Rod Loomis to jam to some old garage
band 60's rock&roll music. Not long after this jam
session work started the three decided to add a fourth
and posted an ad at a few music stores for a singer
keyboard player. The ad said if you are interested
in jamming and not playing out in public reply to Greg
Bever. Enter a 28 year old novice that liked to sing
and could pound out a few chords on a keyboard.
9 1/2 years later and having played in front of
thousands of fans The Sinclairs Band still lives on.

Dr. Bever was a wonderfully funny friend and honestly
his greatest asset to the band was his great sense of
humor and his boundless energy. He wasn't a world
class bass player as he always needed his music in
front of him and a wrong note or two were not
uncommon. He always wore his cowboy hat or some sort
of hat when he played, but he never missed a gig, and
always came to have fun. |

He leaves behind a great family, wife Lynne and three
great kids Gregory Jr., Alyson, and Ian. Lynne we owe you
so much as you allowed us to invade your living room
for the first 6 months to a year. We created chaos in
your family room and of course Greg wrecked your
cabinet (We might as well blame it on him now right?). |

When things got busy with his kids lives and travel
hockey and horse shows, there wasn't even a slight
hesitation that Greg's priorities were with his family
obligations and he informed us that he was leaving the
band. He thanked us for letting him live out his
dream to be a rock star and rode his Harley off into
the sunset. He never really left though, because it
was Greg's spirit that made us what we are today. His
vision was to give the people something that they
didn't see every weekend. "Lets do some material that
no one else plays while we are doing some stuff that
everyone loves, and keep it fresh all the time." We
still try to live by this theory today and will
continue in the future.
Greg we will miss you a bunch but we will never forget
you and the legacy you have left behind. The
Sinclairs Band is your legacy and the "Band of
Brothers" that you created from that idea.
We love you.
The Sinclairs Band |
