Jill Jones, lead vocals and rhythm guitar, was founder and lead singer of The Hays County Gals and The Lone Star Chorale, recipient of the 2002 Academy of Western Artists Cowboy Group of the Year Award. A veteran of cowboy gatherings across the country, she has appeared with Willie Nelson on TNNs Legends of Country Music and Ian Tyson at the Elko National Cowboy Gathering. She has also been featured on NPRs Prairie Home Companion and Texas Country Reporter. In 1994 Jill won the Western Music Associations Grand National Yodeling Championship and the 1998 Academy of Western Artists Yodeling Award. She has several recordings of western music and she tours the nation with Ray Benson and Asleep At The Wheel in A Ride With Bob, a play about the life and music of Bob Wills. Her Texas roots are deep in the hill country where she grew up on the family horse ranch. She is a long time hand on a local cattle ranch in Wimberley Texas.
Bob Goldstein is a product of the folk scare of the 1960's. He began his career as a singer/songwriter, but got too much work playing guitar, mandolin, and banjo in bluegrass, swing, western/cowboy, and commercial country bands. Hes backed such artists as Johnnie Gimble, Buddy Emmons, Byron Berline, Peter Rowan, Bill Hearne, and Lynn Anderson, and was a member of The Howard Brothers Band, The Ozone Express, Heartswing, The Laurie Gibson Band, The Sons of Rodan, Elliotts Ramblers, and Syd Masters and the Swing Riders, among others. As a youth, Bob studied with the legendary Reverend Gary Davis, and later with jazz great Bruce Dunlop. Known as one of the best sidemen in the Southwest, Bob was nominated for instrumentalist of the year by the Western Music Association, and for Guitar Player of the Year by the Colorado Bluegrass Music Association. Bobs musical motto is, You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, and thats enough. When asked their opinion of his playing, guitar legends from Chet Atkins to Doc Watson have unanimously responded, Who?
Bassist Zeke Severson has performed gigs in New York City to parties in Yosemite. He comes from a musical family where his brothers and sisters were either organists at local churches or conducted the choirs. He started bass at 14 years old then moved to wind instruments in college but moved back to the bass when he moved to Santa Fe in 1983. He has played in local bands Funkuation, Ronny Gene and the Lighthouse, Michael Hearne and South by Southwest and Bill Hearne. Early influences vary from Herb Alpert to Doc Watson, Miles Davis to Willie Nelson.
