Les Casson
Drums, percussion, backing vocals
A writer, educator and self-described "accidental percussionist," Les anchors Night Sun's "superb rhythm ensemble" (SOCAN review) with "an innate sense of rhythm that allows for an amazing depth of unusual beats" (Greenman Review). Armed with a Master's degree in English and over half a life of percussion experience, she can "get a rhythm out of anything that makes a noise" (Belleville Intelligencer) and proofread a text in seconds flat. Sometimes simultaneously. Between Night Sun commitments, Les teaches writing at Queen's University. She also freelances as a writer and editor.
