Rich and Andy formed The Outlandos in 2009, with the desire to play all the great music that The Police made. The band has had several drummers over the years, with each one playing the songs, but without the energy of Stewart Copeland. Finally in December of 2019, the guys recruited and now have Derek, playing with all the expertise and energy of Stewart.

The Outlandos plays all the hits of The Police, from “Roxanne” to “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” to ” Message in a Bottle”. We also play many songs they recorded but did not play live. We are a “proper” 3 piece tribute, supplementing any string or key sounds with floor pedal units.

Rich plays the part of Sting, Derek plays the part of Stewart Copeland, and our Andy plays the part of Andy Summers.

On guitars and pedal synth we have Andy T. Andy has mastered many of the techniques used by Andy Summers in The Police, and you will hear the great shimmering chords, all the fingerpicking, and many of the punk sounds Andy Summers used in The Police. Andy plays Fender Telecaster and Stratocaster guitars, and used various pedals and a Fender Bassman amp. He also uses a Roland PK5A pedal driving and Boss sound unit.

Derek Wiegand plays the drums with all the fervor of Stewart, and has all the required gear to get those great drum sounds. Derek plays Yamaha Recording Custom drums, Paiste, Zildjian and Sabian cymbals and has the Octobans !!

Rich Summoner is Sting in the band, and when you see him, you will see a bass player and singer who loves to get the vibe of Sting, when he was with The Police. Rich is always moving, and will often go into the crowd and entertain. Rich plays Fender Jazz and Precision basses, and Fender bass amps. Rich also has the Roland PK5A pedal driving the bass sound of a Roland module. Rich also uses a TC Helicon vocal processor for great vocal effect.

We are available to play festivals, concert shows, private functions, and parties.

2019 was a busy year for us, as we played many smaller shows. We ended the year in Burlington, with a great Sunday matinee show at Black Swan Pub. In January of this year we played in Ottawa and Montreal. We look forward to a busy 2020.
