So Shelley’s ear developed being the youngest singing Alto\, her big brother sang tenor\, Mom had Soprano\, and Daddy sang the bass. They toured Western Canada for several years before she went off to college. She started a band with a flautist and jazz guitar player who performed jazz and pop much to the delight of the following they grew in the northwest. They recorded a CD\, and soon wanted to add bass and drums. This is how Shelley met Callan her bass player husband of 25 years. They went on to collaborate\, write and record and perform together. Shelley has been a trusted worship leader in her home church\, and in numerous churches around the area. She became known for being able to bless the house when needed as a help if the team is on vacation or transition. She started her band Shelley James m u s i c b o x in 1997 which is still together as a 6 piece smooth 80s pop/rock outfit. She is also a founding member and manager of Satin Love Orchestra for 22 years. Shelley and Cal spend a few years in LA where they collaborated with musicians Sheila E.\, Terron Brooks\, Jonathan Butler and others. They continue to perform\, write and record in Lane County\, or can be seen on the beaches of O’Ahu where they spend as much time as possible too. They enjoy their daughter Eva\, and 4 cats as well as their family and friends to the fullest.

DESCRIPTION:BIOGRAPHY\nJohnny Burgin grew up in the South and went to University of Chicago with the intention of becoming a writer.  A different path unfolded when a fellow DJ at the college radio station took him out to a West Side ghetto club to hear the blues singer Tail Dragger.   It was a conversion moment where the blues came to life for Johnny and he fell headfirst into the vibrant Chicago blues scene.  Choosing the blues clubs over the library\, Johnny eagerly absorbed the lessons from the blues masters who practiced their craft nightly.  Through persistence and practice he gained a spot in Tail Dragger’s band\, and started doing gigs in town and on the road with traditional blues veterans like Jimmie Lee Robinson\, Sam Lay\, and Pinetop Perkins.  What at first he’d only dared to dream about coalesced into three concrete goals: to play in Europe\, record his own CD\, and to book his own gigs every weekend.  A Monday night residency at The Smoke Daddy in Wicker Park along with featured vocalist Jimmy Burns turned out to the key: before long\, Johnny’s band  packed the club every Monday with a younger\, hip crowd.   The residency’s success led directly to a record deal with Delmark\, steady local club work\, and his first of many European tours– he’d done it! \nThe shangri-la of being “King of Division Street” eventually ran its course\, and in the early aughts\, Johnny dropped off the scene entirely to raise a daughter.  But Johnny couldn’t keep away from music for too long;  his 2009 comeback was noted by The Chicago Tribune\, Chicago Blues Guide\, as well as the international blues press.  His first show\, on a frigid January night in a club that’d been an old stoming ground\, was packed with his old fans.  An awful silence fell before he hit the first note– did he still have it?– but as noted blues producer Dick Shurman wrote\, “Johnny’s skills\, passion and committment were undiminished.”  Brick by brick\, Johnny rebuilt his career first in Chicago\, then all over the Midwest and Europe\, and gradually out to the West Coast.  His move to the Bay Area in 2016 was artistically rejuvenating\, leading to new fans\, new collaborations\, and  recordings such as the Cali/Chicago blues mashup Neoprene Fedora\, the Howlin’ Wolf tribute Howlin’ at Greaseland (nominated for a BMA for Best Traditional Blues Recording) and the Johnny Burgin Live LP\, which featured Charlie Musselwhite and was nominated for a Blues Blast Best Live Recording Award for 2019.  The move honed his road warrior skills: since 2016\, he’s performed nearly 250 shows a year in Europe\, Japan and coast to coast in the US\, earning the tag line The Worldwide West Side Guitar Man. \nNow with ten CDs as a leader to his credit and dozens more as a sideman\,  Johnny’s developed from a young guitar slinger and local blues hero into a matured bluesman\, fully fledged singer and the a confident and engaging bandleader.  In recent years\, he has been teaching both in person and online at the Chicago Blues Network and has developed a loyal following on Youtube for his weekly looks at the blues guitar greats.   Johnny’s recordings have evolved from being very Chicago-centric\, to a fusion of West Coast and Chicago styles\, and finally to a more inclusive\, international approach: his latest CD\, No Border Blues Japan\, is the first American compilation of the underground Japanese blues scene.  The success of this collaboration led Johnny and his partner\, producer Stephanie Tice\, to create and host the podcast No Border Blues\, which focuses on the international blues scene. \n\n“His guitar style is raw and rude and real– on the vocal side\, a nice original style– he’s damn good!”                        –Elvin Bishop\nAn adventurous musician who’s never shy about taking chances.  \n–Marty Gunther\, Blues Blast\nThis veteran blues musician has been on a roll of late turning out one exceptional album after another.\n–David Mac\, Blues Junction\nThe well-traveled and prolific Chicago bluesman.. brings something different each time he issues a solo album.\n–Jim Hynes\, Glide Magazine\nJohnny’s ego-free dedication to the music is refreshing.  In a world where everyone wants to be a superstar\, Johnny shines brightly.  He is truly an old-school bluesman.\n–Bill Wilson\, Reflections in Blue

SUMMARY:Daddy Rabbit
DESCRIPTION:$5 Minimum purchase \nAll Ages \nOutside weather permitting \nPlease tip the artists! \nAudiences may mistake the band is playing songs from the 1950s or ’60s. But they soon realize it’s original music that honors that early rock ‘n’ roll tradition\, and they get up and dance along. Rob Jacobs wouldn’t have it any other way. The guitarist and vocalist has experience in several different genres\, especially in rock’s later history. He played with indie rock outfit Long\, Tall and Ugly and punk band The Perverts previously. But he found his calling in the genre’s early roots. “I wanted to not play loud and fast constantly\, all the time\,” Jacobs said. “I started writing rockabilly stuff when I was with my other band\, and the drummer was like\, ‘I don’t want to play that kind of music.’ And I said\, ‘OK\, but I have to.’ ” That instinct has led to two albums\, energetic live performances and a growing reputation in Eugene-Springfield.

SUMMARY:The Jeanne Gregg Band
DESCRIPTION:$5 Minimum purchase \nAll Ages \nOutside weather permitting \nPlease tip the artists! \nThe Jeanne Gregg Band has gone through a few ideations since forming in 2016.  They have played clubs around Corvallis\, Albany and the Eugene area and also several of the wineries\, parks and civic music spots such as parks. Their music reflects the variety of tastes in the band and at the same time reflects a musical core that they all agree upon. Jeanne writes some of the songs and they released a CD “Jeanne Gregg Band Live! on the rooftop at Sky High Brewery” in 2019.  The Cascade Blues Society named the CD “music to listen and pay attention to” in the October 2019 issue of their newsletter. \n  \nJeanne Gregg-Vocalist/composer hailed originally from the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles.  Her first paying gigs were in the 70’s and she played around the Hollywood area at the Crescendo Club\, The Troubadour and an under- 21 age nightclub called the Hullabaloo.  Later Jeanne moved to San Diego where she played with a band named Half Moon.  Jeanne took a while off to have children but not time off from music.  She took her music into church. Jeanne met the guys when she came began coming to the local jams and that’s how the story goes. \n  \nDennis Monroe: guitar & vocals\, is a versatile musician who has played styles from blues\, jazz\, funk and rock to western swing and country music. He’s been a gigging musician since the age of 14. He spent 13 years touring with “Micky Shannon and Runaway” playing top 40 music and co-writing and recording with his wife Micky. In the mid 90’s he co-founded an eight-piece funk band with son JD Monroe called “Huzzah” that regularly played Eugene\, Corvallis and Portland areas performing an all original repertoire. Dennis produced\, engineered and recorded Huzzah’s album entitled “Paint It Funky” at his Studio 52 recording studio which he owned and operated in Corvallis Other bands Dennis has played with are the “Porch Dawgs” with Steve Magnolia and the Vicki Stevens Band who represented the Rainy Day Blues Society at the IBC in Memphis in 2011.. He has been the co-host along with William (Froggy) Hyland\, of the blues jam at the Calapooia Brewing Company in Albany Oregon since 2005 and has hosted his own jam “Dennis Monroe’s Funked Up Blues Jam” in Philomath Oregon at the Meet n Place Tavern since 2014. \n  \nJohn Collison on keyboards grew up in Kansas and cut his teeth playing with jazz\, funk\, country\, soul and blues bands throughout the Midwest. A stint in Los Angeles was followed by several years in Nashville touring with country artists before landing in Las Vegas where playing became more of a sideline to work as Production Manager and Director of Entertainment for a multi-venue casino operator. The bright lights of Vegas gave way to a simpler lifestyle in Pennsylvania and a chance to rekindle playing music as opposed to working in the support business. In 2014 John moved to Oregon and has been very busy playing with a handful of bands in the Willamette\, including the Donny Thorp Band\, All Rights Reserved and the Jeanne Gregg Band. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Mark Nerby started early in the music business and by 1969 he was playing professionally. He toured and traveled the western part of the United States for approximately 8 years with different bands. More recently he has reduced the amount of time he plays professionally. In 2013 Mark joined Billy D and the Hoodoos out of Portland and spent about 3 years performing both locally and traveling to the blues clubs in Chicago and the House of Blues. In addition\, they played several venues in Santa Fe\, NM\, Fort Worth Texas\, Las Vegas and some venues in Idaho. Currently\, Mark plays with the Dennis Monroe Funked-up Blues Band and the Jeanne Gregg Band among others.
