Roger Leclerc
Piano - vocal
In its early teens, Roger discovers music. After playing classical guitar for a while, he then turns to the piano and never looked back. He's played in several formations in the 80's and toured across the province. He then added composing and arranging in his palette and, in the 90's, he writes and arranges for many upcoming artists. In 2000, he creates Demo Clic studio, dedicated in helping young and promising talents. But the itch to play is too strong and he decides to start a band dedicated in playing the music of one of his favourite bands: SUPERTRAMP.


Bernard Baribeau
Saxophones - harmonica - vocal
Since his first performance at 14 years old, the passion and symbiosis between Bernard and his saxophone has never faded away. After graduating from the Québec music conservatory in 1995, Bernard moved to Montreal to enhance his skills in jazz and pop music with great musicians such as Jean-Pierre Zanella and Lauraine Desmarais at Cegep Saint-Laurent. A few months later, he joined the famous disco-funk tribute Boogie Wonder Band and toured all over Canada, the USA, Caribbean, China and Japan for over 13 years. He also contributed as a writer and performer on several of this colorful and energic band’s albums.Winner of the "Couleur Jazz Award" in 2009 (Université de Montréal), this versatile musician was given the opportunity to perform with his Coalition Jazz Band at the Montreal International Jazz Festival that same year. It’s with a lot of enthusiasm and devotion that Bernard brings his extensive experience and background to Tramp of The Century for almost 9 years now. It is a great privilege for him to reproduce the sound and soul of Supertramp in the modern day.

Charles Bellerose
Bass - vocal
Playing bass for more than 30 years, Charles is a versatile musician that has been involved in various styles such as flamenco, fusion, blues, rock and jazz. It allowed him to perform in many different contexts from the vocal jazz of Karen Young to the Blues Rock of the Labaye Band. He's worked live and in studio in many projects over the years. Diehard fan of Supertramp since its teens (it was his first rock concert at the age of 14), it's with an immense pleasure that he celebrates the opportunity to play the music that inspired him to play bass.
Francois Corriveau
Drums
A drummer since 1986, François was first influenced by progressive rock. Quickly, he was introduced to the stage and the studio. His versatility leads him to taste all musical flavors: from corporate and Asian circuits with Alter Ego, to the world beat scene with Muna Mingole and Zale Seck through Zulum's jazz rock. In 2019, he participated in Anticosti, work for string quartet (Molinari), saxophone quartet (Quasar), electric bass and drums. He shared the stage there with Charles Bellerose who is also his sidekick in the SO Peter Gabriel tribute.
For several years, he has wanted to play the music of Supertramp (Charles Bellerose can attest to his determination!). It was in 2019 that his wish came true when he became a member of Tramp of the Century.


Richard Guérard
Guitars - lead vocal - ( Rick Davies' voice)
Richard touched his first six strings at the early age of 11 and immediately fell in love. He knew that that magic would be with him for the rest of his life. And for more then 30 years now, he's worked at perfecting his craft. His ability to replicate riffs and solos is a major asset to a tribute band such as TRAMP OF THE CENTURY. He also worked hard on his ability to sing lead as well as intricate harmonies on back vocals. He's played a lot in the last 20 years, notably for Busted Credit for a dozen of years. He also played in a rock duo in the 90's with Bruno Pelletier's bass player, Luc Villeneuve. Why a tribute to Supertramp?
For the challenge of reproducing as faithfully as possible the beauty and richness of Hodgson's guitar work and for the complexity of his wah playing! But also, for the pleasure of singing Rick Davies' songs with the same concern for authenticity and exactitude he displays on his guitar playing.
Sébastien Cloutier
Keyboard - guitars - vocal
From the age of four, he had this immense curiosity for the furniture that was lying in the living room that was nicknamed: The Piano!

Today, he found a niche for any special Classic Rock Progressive Rock, with a rare knowledge of vintage instruments witch is unusual at a young age and having an excellent understanding and ease of reproduction of their works context in different musical styles as well as the reproduction of different tones ... that is why there is no difficulty to Sebastian on the keyboards, the guitars 12 strings and vocally, to recreate the magical universe of Supertramp, one of many groups he admires!
