Mini-Bio of The Band

Divided Highway is a band that combines the musical talents of staff at Algonquin College from Ottawa, Ontario.

Comprised of teachers and managers at the school, the band also often plays at many of the school's social functions and fundraisers, such as the annual United Way campaign.

David, Dave and Wayne, the "backbone" of the band, have been playing together for a few years. A series of drummers ensued until Mike joined the fold. All four work at the college.

Together, the band formed a unique sound based on a diverse blend of musical tastes and backgrounds, which consist of country, blues, pop, rock and classical.

Therefore, since the band combines such differing and divergent (and often opposing) musical tastes, giving it its strength and unique style, it gave rise to the term "Divided" in its name, similar to traffic moving in opposite directions.

Tech Rocks Alumni

Tech Rocks, an annual "Battle of the Bands" assembling high tech's musically inclined from Ottawa, is regularly hosted in June at the Corel Center's Hard Rock Cafe.

While the band did not win last year, it was a frontrunner. Says guitarist David Bray, "the goal was to have fun."

More importantly, since the band consists of employees at Algonquin College, a leading school of technology, the event is close to the band's heart as proceeds from the event are targeted to support human resource development through projects and programs, and will support the development and expansion of Ottawa s technology talent pool.
