vocalist/musician band leader, event planner, wife, mother, and friend Shelley James
Shelley grew up in a small family who performed music together throughout her youth. Her father was a music major and semenary graduate who had a gift for arranging 4 part harmonies. 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.

Audiences 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.

The 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.

Jeanne 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.

Dennis 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.

John 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.

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.

We are an eclectic group of musicians with varied musical backgrounds. We’ve gone through many changes since the band first formed in 2001 as the “Franklin Ladies Aid Society”. Three of our original members have passed on, so my band personnel has changed over time. Keyboard/Accordion/Vocalist Fred May is the remaining original member of the band and the band leader.
Lead Vocalist Merlin Standeford has been with the band for several years and is one of the best blues vocalists around! Merlin puts his heart and soul into every note he sings. Other band mates are Lead Guitar man Paul Van Steinberg, Bass Guitarist Karinne Wallis and Percussionist Gregory Johnson.
We enjoy playing for local festivals, corporate functions, local wineries, house concerts, back-yard BBQ’s and we support our local community by performing for community fundraisers.
We sing 3-part harmonies on many of our songs. We play a mix of original tunes and cover songs. The covers we do are done the way we like them, so may not always be copies of the original. We make the music our own and our fans love what we do. We hope you enjoy what we do as well! -Fred May
