Bio

Steeped in that hard rock spirit, Atlantis Blueprint delivers a sharp-edged set of riff-savvy anthems coloured by funk-jazz overtones, reggae-tinged stomps and power-ballads. This three piece is busy selling out venues like The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, headlining major festivals like Earth Hour at Barrie’s City Hall all while promoting their debut album!

As early as seven, Adam Skinner was teaching himself guitar, vocals and pounding away on his hand made, cardboard drum-set. After years of forming various bands, he created Atlantis Blueprint. Adam’s passion for song-writing and desire to please own ears has been very well received by the band’s rapidly growing fan base.

Raul Ponce is an incredibly charismatic drummer that grew up in Mexico and has performed in numerous countries around the globe. Originally finding Adam through a Kijiji ad, Raul has spun his way into an irreplaceable position with the band.

Brad Barnett brings a funk-rock rooted character to the group. His dedication to the detail of song-writing and dramatic stage presence has carried the band to new levels of showmanship.
