Performer Information

Few bands in Canadian rock have left as indelible a mark as Trooper. Formed in 1975 in Vancouver by co-founders Ra McGuire and Brian Smith, the band quickly rose with radio-ready anthems that became staples nationwide. Their greatest hits collection, Hot Shots (1979), earned 6x Platinum in Canada, and the group collected multiple gold and platinum awards along the way. With several singles topping Canadian charts and a catalog built for singalongs, Trooper’s legacy stretches across generations.

A Juno Award winner with decades of touring, Trooper’s hook-forward pop rock sound and melodic guitar work helped define Canadian classic rock. Their anthemic choruses and crowd-friendly songwriting continue to influence and energize live audiences across arenas, amphitheaters, and festival stages.

Current Band Members

• Ra McGuire — Lead vocals

A co-founder and the band’s longtime frontman since 1975, McGuire is known for a distinctive voice and high-energy presence. His spirited banter and connection with the crowd set the tone for every show.

• Brian Smith — Guitar

Co-founder and guitarist, Smith’s signature riffs and songwriting partnership with McGuire shaped Trooper’s sound. His melodic leads power the band’s biggest anthems.

• Tommy Stewart — Drums

Joining in 1974, Stewart anchored Trooper’s classic era with steady, punchy drumming. His grooves fuel the band’s live momentum.

• Harry Kalensky — Bass

An early member who helped define the group’s formative sound, Kalensky’s low-end drive supports Trooper’s upbeat, singalong feel.

• Gogo (Paul Gogo) — Keyboards

A later addition who added modern textures to the band’s live and studio work, Gogo rounds out Trooper’s hook-rich arrangements.

Former and Legacy Members

• Frank Ludwig — Keyboards, vocals

A key contributor through the band’s big hits era, Ludwig’s harmonies and keys helped push Trooper onto Canadian charts.

• Doni Underhill — Bass

Part of the most successful period, Underhill’s bass lines are woven into several classic albums.

• Scott Brown — Bass

Played in later lineups, contributing to the group’s evolving live sound.

Trooper’s catalog boasts era-defining tracks like Raise a Little Hell, We’re Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time), and The Boys in the Bright White Sports Car. Albums such as Two for the Show (1976), Knock ’Em Dead Kid (1977), and Thick as Thieves (1978) delivered the hooks that still fill setlists and airwaves today.

On stage, Trooper brings a celebratory, high-energy rock show built on crowd interaction and big-chorus singalongs. Classic lighting and tight sound let the songs shine, while the band’s personable presence turns every night into a feel-good anthem fest.
