About Us:

Bassist Jack Hourcade is a New Orleans native who grew up immersed in the jazz and blues rhythms of that city. He played bass in countless clubs in the New Orleans area before moving to Boise. For most of the 1990s Jack played bass for Boise's Flashback, a classic rock band that opened for such artists as Steppenwolf, Randy Bachman of BTO, Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad, Ronnie Montrose, Uriah Heep, and Rick Derringer.

An Idaho native (and Orofino Maniac!), Kolleen Beesley began piano lessons at age six, moving from the classics to rock'n'roll. In the early 1990s she toured throughout the southeast U.S. with the Movie Stars. After returning to Idaho, she joined Kamiah's Selway Cruisers, sharing lead vocals and keyboards. Kolleen's energy and ear for harmonies add excitement to every performance; her favorite artists include Heart, Pat Benatar, Fleetwood Mac and (of course!) Blondie.

Nick Corral (AKA Nicky "C") is a Los Angeles area native who picked up the guitar in his early teens and was instantly hooked. His guitar influences include Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple, Steve Howe of Yes, and last but certainly not least, Eric Clapton. In addition to classic rock, Nick enjoys blues and jazz. In his free time Nick can usually be found in his music room recording his original music. When he's not doing that, he likes to kick back and just relax . . . usually with guitar in hand!

Drummer Ron Draper is an Idaho native who has been playing in bands for " . . . as long as I can remember!" Ron is well-known throughout the area for his absolutely solid tempo. He was a founding member of Deja VooDoo, the long-standing blues band based in Twin Falls. A highlight for Deja VooDoo was opening for Head East's 20th Anniversary Tour. Ron's main musical influences include The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton.

Founding member, Dan Marchesini is a talented multi-instrumentalist who sings and plays guitar and keyboards. While Dan returned to his native northern California in October 2009, his return in May 2011 is most welcomed.
