Blackberry Wood is!!!
Kris Wood, "The Ring Leader": Vocals, Guitar, Electronics and more
Kris fell off a Canadian railcar as a baby and was raised by wolves. Discovered in the woods by a pirate named Sophie, who had escaped the sheriff's stagecoach on route to her hanging, he was sold by Sophie as "Wolf Boy" to a rag tag Carnival known as The Well 2 Doodle Show. Needless to say the carnival never did very well and "Wolf Boy" soon persuaded a mutiny with the promise of a secret treasure map stolen from Sophie. With a half trustworthy crew of bacchanalian misfits The Ring Leader travelled the strange and wonderful corners of the universe. A wild music once enticed him as he traveled one particular corner and after being ambushed into an epic super hero battle he was impaled by the lightning charged conductor's baton of the evil and deathly master of the Underworld Symphony. From this marked event he gained great super powers of musical enticement and cajolery. Deciding to start his own motley circus, a loose congregation travelling under the moniker of Blackberry Wood, he now bewilders and astonishes people every where!!!

Anessa “Squeeky Turns, Queen of the Jungle Fairies”: Saxophone and Vocals
as a young sprite, Squeaky Turns dreamed every night of travelling the world and running
away with the Circus, forever escaping the wild woods of the Okanagan Valley. One strange
and spooky summer she had her chance when the circus rolled through town. She stowed
away in the elephant car and woke up to a world of wonderment and amazement! Since then
she has learned to tangle with tigers, wrestle with wombats and battled with bears, earning her
place under the Big Top as “Squeaky Turns, Queen of the Jungle Fairies”

Carmen “Candy Boom Boom”: Great Big Marching Drum
Candy was born in to the Circus unlike the others who ran off and joined...
She was born in the back of a Chapiteau, a large circus tent. Her father was a barrel jumping circus clown and her mother was a beautiful circus Showgirl. He wooed her with constant gifts of candy and she finally said yes to a date. He was funny and wonderful, not a sad clown, and they eventually had a
daughter. (Hence the name Candy)
Candy started to grow up and was getting curious about the real world. She decided to go off on her own to the big city and left the Circus behind...She soon came to realize that the real world wasn't what she expected! It was terrifying :( She missed her circus life and her family! She went back to the Circus and became Candy Boom Boom!!!

Vivianne Oblivion: Percussion, Sword swallowing, Fire eating, Snake charming and more
Vivianne Oblivion grew up not unlike anyone else but with a sense that something was not right. Drawn to the strange, unusual and the macabre Vivianne began studying the dark arts of circus sideshow. Working as a morticians assistant she gained a thorough knowledge of the human anatomy and its capabilities. She then taught herself many of the traditional sideshow arts; sword swallowing, fire eating, communicating with snakes and having an astounding control over pain receptors, becoming virtually pain-proof. As fate would have it, this was all in her blood, A historical discovery on her mother's side would reveal generations of Scottish Gypsy heritage including one of the most famous of Scottish Gypsy kings, of the Blyth family. Finally everything made sense. It took no time before a mysterious circus sideshow came to town and hired her to replace their tragically detained Swedish sword swallower. The stage has been her one and true mistress ever since.
