After Hours began its story in March of 1997 when three guys calling themselves "Harmonic Company" went over to Aaron's house to record their first demo. As the story goes, they asked Aaron to join the group and the rest is history. It took many voices to keep the group going over the last two decades so this page is here to honour them as without their contributions, we probably wouldn't be here.
Edsel mansia
Years Active: 1996-1998

Group Name (before After Hours): Hearts In Harmony
Sang w/: Ian Corby, Aaron Milic, Jonathan Pong, George Scott
Contributions: In the very early months of 1999, Aaron, George, Jon and Ian decided to start a new group and Leslie became the new fifth member. His incredible voice however landed him a record deal in Antigua where he still lives and sings today. Sadly he only sang for six weeks with the boys but did manage to make some rough demo recordings with them which are still kicking around in the archives.

michelle scrimgeour-brown
Years Active: 1999-2000

Group Name (before After Hours): One Guy Shy
Sang w/: Ian Corby, Aaron Milic, George Scott, Yee Kuang Wong
Contributions: Michelle replaced Leslie in late winter of 1999. Right after she joined, Yee Kuang Wong also came on board, replacing Jonathan Pong. To this day, Michelle is the only woman to ever sing in the group. As a result of this, the group changed its name to "One Guy Shy" while she sang with them. Michelle never recorded with the boys but she did do some live performances with them and has come back on several occasions to sing a song or two on stage, including her incredible performance of "Stand By Me" at their 15th anniversary.

Contributions: Dean replaced Michelle in early 2000 and a couple months later, the group renamed itself "After Hours" so Dean is an original member of the "After Hours" legacy. While his performances with the group were very limited, his voice can be heard on the groups first album, "Shadowboxing".

Sang w/: Ian Corby, Edsel Mansia, Aaron Milic, Jonathan Pong, George Scott, Yee Kuang Wong

Mike left the group for a few years, returning in 2001 to replace Dean Sasabuchi. In those seven years, Mike recorded two albums with the group; "After Hours - After Hours" and "After Hours - Woodshedding". He performed in countless live shows all over the city and has performed nearly 200 different songs with the group. His return for their 15th anniversary was met with great ovation and well deserved respect for his continued contributions to the group.

ian corby
Years Active: 1998 - 2009
Voice: Lead/Baritone/Bass
Group Name(s): In Peace, Hearts In Harmony, One Guy Shy, After Hours
Sang w/: Aaron Milic, Leslie Nanton, Jonathan Pong, Mike Santos, Dean Sasabuchi, George Scott, Michelle Scrimgeour-Brown, Yee Kuang Wong
Contributions: One of the finest performers the group has ever had, Ian has entertained in countless shows, has recorded three albums with the group (Shadowboxing, After Hours, Woodshedding), has sung nearly 200 songs and along with Luke Hobbs, is one of the youngest members ever to sing with the group, starting at the tender age of 20. While Ian mostly provided bass and lower baritone harmonies, it was his memorable leads that he will be remembered for. His perfect "Runaround Sue", his character performance of "Good King Wenceslas", his hilarious prop infused "Mother-In-Law", his ultra manly "Big Bad John" and "Sixteen Tons" and his tear jerking rendition of "With Or Without You" are just a few of his most well known leads. His quirky humour and his consistent vocal performances truly raised the bar.

George Scott

Sang w/: Ian Corby, Edsel Mansia, Aaron Milic, Leslie Nanton, Jonathan Pong, Mike Santos, Dean Sasabuchi, Michelle Scrimgeour-Brown, Yee Kuang Wong
Contributions: George is an original founder of Harmonic Company and sang consistently with Aaron Milic through every iteration of the group from 1997 to 2010. He has written six songs for the group including "Stay With Me Tonight" which the boys have brought back and plan on recording for their future album. He has recorded three albums with the group (Shadowboxing, After Hours, Woodshedding) and has sung nearly 200 songs. He has performed in countless shows all over the city and was best known in the group for his soaring falsetto. Though quiet and shy on stage he was anything but backstage and his often bizarre sense of humour and catch phrases often snuck themselves into the shows, bewildering the audience. Aaron often refers to Mr. Scott as his "brother George" as it was their partnership and determination that made them get through the groups break-ups and constant changes. There would be no After Hours without George's countless contributions.

Luke Hobbs
Years Active: 2008 - 2012
Voice: Tenor/Lead/Baritone/Bass
Group Name: After Hours
Sang w/: Ian Corby, John Davis, Aaron Milic, George Scott, Yee Kuang Wong
Contributions: Luke was asked to fill the very big shoes of Mike Santos in October of 2008. He joined at the age of 20, making him the youngest member ever in the group, along side Ian Corby. Luke's angelic clean and controlled lead voice was a welcome addition to the group, along with his limitless falsetto. His knowledge of arranging and harmony changed the shape of the group and after Ian Corby left the group in 2009, Luke's strength as a singer and performer led to the group NOT replacing Ian and becoming a quartet for the first time since 1998. Though there are no significant recordings made with Luke, there are many videos on this site featuring him across his years active with the group. While he had so many great leads, he was probably best known for his interpretation of "Hey There Delilah". Though his time in the group was much shorter than most, it would be impossible to count all of the shows Luke did with the group. Luke's "firsts" and contributions to the group are unrivalled.

John Davis
Years Active: 2010 - 2013
Voice: Tenor/Lead/Baritone
Group Name: After Hours
Sang w/: Luke Hobbs, Aaron Milic, Thom Speck, Yee Kuang Wong
Contributions: It would be hard to argue whose shoes were bigger, Mike Santos' or George Scott's but while Luke was filling Mike's, John had to fill George's when he left in 2010. Vocally speaking however, John's powerful rock voice was more like Mike's. John brought a whole new sound to After Hours we had never had before; a British rock lead! Straight from England, the young and handsome Mr. Davis was the perfect pair for the equally young and handsome Mr. Hobbs. The team of "Hobbs & Davis" were pushed to the forefront of the group while the older veteran's Yee Kuang Wong and Aaron Milic provided bari and bass support. There truly was magic on stage between the two. Much like Luke, John has numerous videos on this site with After Hours. John had too many leads to count but his set openers of "Stuck In The Middle With You" followed by "Got My Mind Set On You" got the crowds attention and his performance of "Broken Wings" was always a crowd favourite. John is the only current alumni who has regularly subbed in for the current line-up when needed.

Contributions: Thom replaced Luke Hobbs in early 2013, coming from the acclaimed a cappella group, "The Essentials". While Luke had left the group to move to Japan, Thom had plans of taking After Hours to tour Japan! Thom pushed and challenged the group towards greatness and brought out the best in the boys in 2013, performing with them at the SING! Festival, Parry Sound Ribfest and also alongside champion beatboxer Scott Jackson at the Scotiabank Buskerfest. With the assistance of Thom's brother Dan, the boys have recorded the Canada and American national anthems, which you can find here. Thom currently performs alongside his brother in the group "Screeched Inn".

Years Active: 2002 - 2010 and also 2015
Role: Master Of Ceremonies
Contributions: Ed Keenan was the Master Of Ceremonies of all the After Hours shows they performed at Grace Church On-The-Hill and also their first show at the Winchester Theatre in 2010. As the boys sang unplugged at Grace Church, they felt it was a good idea to have someone with a big voice set expectations through the show and warm-up the crowd. Ed also sang lead on Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" at one of their shows along side After Hours and also pulled out some interesting break dance moves at the beginning of their 2010 shows at the Winchester theatre. Ed's voice became synonymous with After Hours so he also came back to run their 15th anniversary show which also included an interview from Ed with Aaron and Yee Kuang.

Erick Porche
Years Active: 2015
Role: Zen Drum (Percussion)
Contributions: Erick played the Zen Drum on several songs at their 15th anniversary show and at their Canada Day performance at Mel Lastman Square. At that time the boys were playing around with the idea of adding percussion, but not beat boxing, to their sound. The Zen Drum was a hit at the show and the boys planned on continuing to work and even sing with Erick as the newest member of After Hours! However, things don't always go according to plan and that idea sadly faded.
