Has he checked the last.fm biog pages which often have links to their official web page/label/wikipedia etc ?
(just paste the artist name in the space between 'music/...../+wiki')
www.last.fm/music/      /+wiki

I found these links from the last 15 or so (then, for some, googled a bit using the info) :

31 www.last.fm/music/Bob+Reid/+wiki

I always thought of Bob Reid as Californian, since his mom works at Rosie the Riveter National Park in Richmond, CA.
I know him and should have no trouble getting hold of him. I don't think of him as a Canadian, though. -Joe-

Maybe he could whittle the list down a bit.

I fixed the links (hopefully!) by putting "http://" at the beginning. -mod
