About

Musical Director, Mark Rickey, plays all the keyboards and writes our arrangements. Roque Batty also arranges our music and plays electric bass, along with Duane deJoie on rhythm guitar. Roque has international experience playing in South America and US tours with a variety of musicians, including Los Bukis. Jason "J-Stone" Collins, is a master musician, multi-instrumentalist, specializing as a phenomenal guitarist. He has also composed hundreds of songs. He also records and performs with his own band-- Funkanauts- playing his original funk compositions. Ronell "Superdrummer" Smith keeps us all on time and excites the room with his superlative accents and embellishments. We also feature SWOOP UNIT, a three-piece horn ensemble (sax, trumpet and trombone) composed of John Gibson (T), Scott Okamoto (TR) and Darren Smith (sax). They wrote their own original horn arrangement for all songs.

Finally at the front of the band we have Christopher "J-Christoper" Jeffery on lead vocals with the sweet backup vocals of Seepee Zabala and April Jordan, both of whom also sing lead on some offerings.
