GR Hall - Guitar & Vocals

GR is the epitome of Blues! Hailing from the heyday of Haight-Ashbury, where he cut his teeth on Blues and Blues-Rock, GR slings his Fender and Gibson axxes like they are a part of his body.

He truly makes his guitars "talk", and the talk they talk is purely from the soul. He is truly a "musicians musician" in that he plays every note as if it were his last.

Hailing from the midwest, and transplanted to California in the sixties, GR has been in many of the best local acts as well as touring the US extensively.

Sue "Suzie" Helgeson -
Drums & Vocals

Ya wanna dance? You won't be able to help yourself when Sue sits on her drum throne. Solid, tight, and utterly in the groove, Suzie lays down a backbeat that speaks to your feet and gets your booty shakin'.

Suzie started playing drums in 7th grade in marching band. She got her first drum set three years later and played with local bands in Oregon and Washington over the next three years. Says Suzie, "one band asked if I could sing and I said 'I dunno! I'll try!'. I quickly went from singing one or two songs to more than thirty".

Suzie moved to California in 1970 where she studied music in college for six years, and played with a few local Rock 'n' Roll bands. Around this time she met The Doc. Suzie tells this story, "I was doing some recording/singing, and I went for this high note and what came out was a kind of growly, schreech sound. After someone I didn't know came up to me and said 'WOW! That sounded sooooo cool!'. I thought, 'OK, maybe I'll work on that - thus my "Janis" voice began."

In 1978, Suzie joined "Caddillac Cowgirls", an internationally known Country Rock band. They started out at the world famous "Palomino Club"ng for the likes of the "Burrito Brothers". From they toured Japan, Korea, the Phillipines, Alaska and many a military base.

After a stint with an all girl power pop trio with her friends Peri and Lisa, where the girls wowed Camp Pendleton for two years, Suzie took a much needed break from the world of music. She now wows 'em again with her own brand of sizzle and sass.

Danny "Doctor Midnite" Kearney - Bass, Acoustic & Electric Guitar, Vocals

Doc mostly sits back and pumps out the huge bass sounds that pound your chest and get you really "feeling" the music. Doc is multitalented in that he also rips out some mean guitar licks, both electrically and acoustically.

The young Doctor grew up in New York City listening to rock and roll as long as he can remember. He bugged his parents for a guitar until they couldn't stand it any longer and finally they gave in and bought him his first Danelectro. That was the Christmas that the Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show. The Doctor grew up learning all the Beatles songs as well as others of the 60's as soon as they were released.

His first gig lasted for two years. He played at Folk Mass while attending parochial school. Soon the Doctor was playing at Junior High and High School dances and parties. After high school Doc went to the State University of New York at Oswego for a year as a music major. The Doc wanted to rock and soon got bored with classical and left school and left for Los Angeles.

Then it was on to Golden West College for two years while he studied Recording Arts + Sciences. There he appeared on two school albums. After graduating he worked in the electronic music lab at Golden West College for the next five years. He also ran his own eight track studio for many years where he engineered and produced hundreds of demos for local groups as well as eleven record projects.

The doctor also played in numerous popular top 40 bar bands as a bass player including "Twist Of Fate", "The Names", "Straight Up", and "The Touch". During the last five years the Doc has gotten back to his songwriting roots (he has written over three hundred songs).

Martin Runningwolf - Guitar, Bass & Vocals

Martin, our rythm guitar ace, bassist and vocalist, originally hailed from Colorado where as a boy in school, he was at a talent show and saw his first Rock 'n' Roll band. He came away with the determination to someday be on stage himself, and has since acheived that dream and much more.

His steady, deep, driving and completely satisfying bass & rythm guitar grooves put you in the mood to get up and mooooove.

Martin grooves like Marley and sings like Jimi. He is a versatile player that knows what a band is all about - entertaining it's audience.

Johnny "Blue" - Keyboards & Vocals

Blue tickles the ivories. Blue manhandles the ivories. Blue shreds the ivories (and if Jerry Lee hadn't done it already, he would light 'em on fire). If you like a good Bluesy B3 organ, Blue will satisfy your need. Having found a sudden interest in piano in the fourth grade, he never looked back. Music has been an integral part of his life ever since.

Blue joined GR Hall in 1978 and toured two countries in the all original rock band "Raisin' Caine". Blue also was instrumental in forming the Orange County local A-list bands "Straight Up" and "Twist Of Fate" in the 80's and 90's. He then took off to Memphis to "absorb the blues firsthand" and ended up forming the all blues band "De Delta Dawgs", with members of "Canned Heat" and "John Lee Hookers" band, which played Bluestock and the Memphis Blues Festival, as well as many clubs on world famous Beale Street and up and down the "delta".

He has toured all 48 of the continental United States as keyboardist and musical director with the national act "The Bobby Freeman Show", as well as touring extensively with the International Reggae Band "Rascalin & The Roots Rockers", most notably, headlining the "Annual Bob Marley Festival Tour" series.
