Ken Skelly (Acoustic Guitars/Saxophones/Vocals & Stuff)
Ken started his quest for musical gratification in the late 60’s by pushing equipment through the streets of Manhattan to play at the schools and local clubs. Played the New York Manhattan Clubs with noted bands such as The Soul Corporation, Street Stuff. Left the music scene in 1977 and went to school to become a Music Therapist. Well we all know that you never really get exactly what you seek, he took a hiatus and didn’t return back to the music scene until just a few years ago. What a ride it’s been. The therapy has ultimately come to be his own, self prescribed! A gifted song writer and vocalist.

 

Del Rabelo (Bass- Guitars/Vocals/Harmonicas)
Del has been jamming on his trusty acoustic guitar since 1970. He was pulled out of the self gratifying beach playing mellow ballads and sucked into the drama filled whirlwind of cover bands in the Tampa Bay area around 1997. After 9 or so years and some hair loss, he put aside his beer begging in the local taverns and embarked on his creative experiments. After writing and recording 4 albums, (and one strange book), with some wonderful fellow musicians, he was introduced to Ken Skelly.
Once again he was steered away from his ramblings by his new found friend, and together produced another album. With some of Del’s music, the writings of Ken, and the superior talents of the gents they have the pleasure to share the stage with, they merrily perform all through the land, (at discounted prices of course!). Soon this merry band of minstrels will be at an establishment near you, don’t miss your chance to be entertained!

Ginzo Katz (Lead Guitarist)

The exquisite complement of jazz-blues runs that fill the project’s atmosphere.  Ginzo was a principle guitarist for the world renowned group “Blue Bird & Toad” out of Montana.

Ginzo has granted us access to his recorded tracks of finely honed riffs.

 

Tim Coudray (Drummer-Percussion/Vocals)

prominent Jazz drummer with extrodinary talent and artistic flare. Fitting perfectly into the Justin Theory bag of tricks, Tim and Del yield one of the finest rhythm sections available anywhere.

 

Musicians who’ve been instrumental along the way:

Charles Blackwell (Lead Guitar)
Charles holds a firm grasp on the sweet taste of Jazz in his playing. An extrodinary Jazz guitarist with years of expertise. Yielding from the Carolina’s down to the Tampa Bay area within the past couple of years. Some additional detailed information on Charles and musical endeavors will follow shortly. Suffice to say, his performance will warm your soul.

Greg Owens (Electric & Acoustic Guitars)
Greg’s exposure to music began with classical piano training, but the music of The Beatles, Stones and Hendrix soon had him channeling that knowledge into the guitar.
In his home town of Buffalo, New York Greg performed with regional Wrangler Star Search winners The Westchester County Band, contributed a song to the “Spaceballs” soundtrack with the Top 40 group Ladyfire, and performed at the World University Games with his own jazz fusion band Stratus.
After moving to Los Angeles and touring Japan and Korea with the Marricals show group, Greg returned home to work as a product specialist for Pearce and Hiwatt amplifiers.
Now residing in Tarpon Springs, Florida Greg teaches guitar.

Michael Homan (Lead-Horns-Synthasizer)
Yielding from Baltimore, Michael brings to the table the extrodinary use of synthasized horns/guitar/keys, etc. to add remarkable spice to our material. He has been performing with very large horn sections in big bands. Very greatful to have connected as he is without doubt a most talented performer

Eddie Ruiz (Latin Percussion/Drums)
Eddie fell into the mix as a seasoned percussionist from New York City by way of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. Now residing in Tampa Bay, he lends a sweet touch on all the skins, from Congas to Tim-bales, he has made his mark on the scene in New York with some noted Latin bands Tito Puente, El Gran Combo; Bobby Rodriquez, Willie Colon to name a few. To know we have this performing giant in our mix, takes our material to great heights and fills it with spices fare with. Oh, did we mention his drum styles? He has hand and rhythm control that can calm the savage beast or wake a sleeping giant. Just listen to what he does, you’ll get the point. Comfortably fitting the need for soft and yet powerful rhythm statements from his tools of the trade.

 

John Bell (Up Right Bass & Vocals)
An extraordinary multifaceted musician. John plays practically every instrument if that’s possible. But he does so as proficiently as any other. Exceptional guitarist, (sweet) Flamingo and keyboards. John shared his talents on a multitude of projects including our intense Full Sail University Theory Project in June and then again in August of 2012. What a gifted musician and friend. John plays on with a number of ensembles and teaches his craft through a number of music facilities and privately.

John has been inspirational in helping us. John has contributed to as the drummer/percussionist on a number of earlier recorded works. Thanks John, for all your help.

 

John Muckenthaler (Bass Guitarist/Vocals)
John stepped out of the grasslands of Pasco County FL to aid us in getting our feet wet in playing bay area venues with our predominantly original material. As a dedicated musician, he managed to fill a void we had and served to contribute the bottom necessary for all groups. His contribution in the rhythm section was well received. His personal past with some extraordinary musicians is a story of its self to be heard. Thank You John, for your support.

 

John Stephan (Lead Guitar)</strong>
John is a master lead guitar player with years of performance. He is the owner/Operator of the Springs Theater in Tampa. A full recording and production house and performance venue. His jazz and standards riffs are bar-none some of the best ever played. A craftsman in the arts.

 

Pasco Paul (Dobro & Acoustic Guitars/Vocals)
Pasco Paul came spinning out of the Tampa Bay Area’s Blue Grass, Country & Blues scene. Paul’s flare for a sweet slide into Justin Theory’s mix of light jazz, blues and ballads is exceptional. A seasoned professional, playing in scores of festivals and concerts. It’s as if listening to Dwayne Allman when we perform.
