Biography​

Joe Post and Sunny Wood met in 1985 at Ideal, an alternative school for misfits. Sunny, with his motorcycle, feathered mullet, and love for Santana and metal, found an instant bond with Joe, who rocked baggy shorts, a wallet chain, and a skateboard. You could say this was the moment the sound of Second Nature was born – except neither of them could play a note of music yet.

That didn’t last long. A few months at Ideal, surrounded by some of the coolest young musicians in Vancouver (including members of Slow and Big Sugar), was all it took for them to pick up bass and guitar. Not long after, the band came together. All of the boys in the band were born in 1969, connected by Kits High and Ideal School.

The Lineup:
Julian Webster – Guitar, Vocals
Sunny Wood – Guitar, Vocals
Joe Post – Bass, Vocals
Ain Baird – Keys, Vocals
Kris Ledrew – Percussion, Vocals
Peter Martin – Drums
Apple Jensen – Vocals

Apple Jensen and Sunny Wood had grown up together in a rock and roll hippie tribe with the band Brain Damage.
Second Nature quickly gained momentum in Vancouver’s live music scene. By the late 80s, they were selling out some of the city’s biggest venues, including the Commodore Ballroom and Town Pump.

The early 90s were a magical time for Vancouver’s music scene, with unwavering support for live bands. Second Nature thrived in this golden era, headlining countless shows with incredible acts like The Grames Brothers, She Stole My Beer, The Harvesters, and Omniball.
To this day, everyone in Second Nature remains close. Though the band is now spread from Hawaii to Nelson, BC, the bond remains unbroken.
And when the time is right, Second Nature will take the stage together once again.
