Helix with April Wine

(December 2002 @ Club Phoenix London)

Brian Vollmer is the only remaining member of Helix from the original six that initially gathered in that cramped practice hall on Margaret Avenue in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Brian has seen the band from it's inception, through it's ups and downs, through it's bad times and it's good times.

Brian got into the band because he had an overwhelming desire to be in a rock band from the time he bought his first album, "American Woman", by the Guess Who. He used to stand in his parents basement listening to "Monster" by Steppenwolfe and "air" guitar along to the record. He drove his mother and father crazy, but through it all they supported him in everything he did.

These days Brian manages every aspect of the Helix organization from booking tours to distributing Helix merchandise. On top of all of this, Brian also operates a successful, elite Bel Canto vocal teaching business, performs classical music with symphony orchestras and spends time on his passion for architectural antiques.
