Adam Iredale
Little Adam hails from Mayne Island, BC where he grew up surrounded by lots and lots of little sheep, and isn't little at all. Although he is the youngest Gruff, he is also the tallest and has the longest hair. Adam started playing with The Gruff in early 2006 and has since accompanied them all over BC. Jenny, Terri and Phaedra love playing with Adam cause he's fun and sure can make those fiddle strings sing. Adam also plays around Victoria with "Banquo" and new Irish superstars "Roof Rabbit".
Serena Eades
Serena was born and raised in Roberts Creek, British Columbia. She began playing the violin at a young age and has since studied a whole bunch of different styles of music. One sunny afternoon in August 2006, Serena came to Victoria to play with The Gruff in Jenny's backyard.  Jenny, Terri and Phaedra promptly fell in love with Serena and so began her part in Gruffdom. With two gigs and a CD Release Party under their collective belt, The Gruff and Serena embarked on their first tour together in October 2006. Even after three Gruff weeks in a van, Serena hasn't run away, much to the relief of the rest of the band. Currently, Serena can also be found playing with Sunshine Coast guitarist/vocalist Steve Karagianis and "The Hardwood Groove" a primarily instrumental duo.
 

Adrian Dolan
Besides owing Adrian their first born, a new car and probably a house for all the hours of guidance and support he has given them during their recording career, The Gruff genuinely love him for ever and ever. Not only does Adrian tug heart strings on stage with that fancy fiddle, but he has also recorded and produced The Gruff's two latest albums. Adrian is a member of Victoria's "The Bills" and often finds himself off on Bill-ish adventures.
