Andy over-sees all of the “JCB” business activities as well as performing the sound engineering for the band. As one of the co-founders of the “JCB” Andy primarily provides lead vocals along with contributing alto sax to the “JCB” Horns. Possessing a high tenor range he brings audiences a joy and charm that leaves the room wanting to hear more. His powerful, graceful, melodic voice brings the songs, their characters and lyric to life.

After seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show there was no doubt Joe was going to play music. He started his professional career at the age of 15 playing drums in the local clubs and for private events. As the other co-founder of the “JCB” Joe provides lead vocals for the band. His smooth as molasses baritone voice is sure to wow audiences and his vocal abilities are far reaching, being able to sing many different styles of music.

Where there is groove, there is bass. In this case it’s Jeff Watne. As an accomplished bassist Jeff buries it “deep” and moves seamlessly between many styles of music. Jeff brings a level of experience to the “JCB” that many would be hard pressed to find. “In the Pocket Baby”!!!!

Here comes the BOOOOOM! Setting the tempo and laying down the groove for the “JCB” is Eric Wollan. Eric picked up the drums sticks at the age 6 when his grandfather taught him to play snare drum. During his elementary and junior high school years he studied drums with Dallas jazz great Charlie Hamilton. Eric continued honing his skills and studied symphonic percussion with Mitchell Peters, principal percussionist with the Dallas Symphony and later the LA Philharmonic. There are no forms of music he doesn’t enjoy and embrace as a valid art form!

Mark Hubley has played guitar since early high school years in Southern California, inspired by the music in the air of the 60s. Moved to Colorado in 1979 and never looked
back. Has played in a variety of bands and gigged up and down the Front Range. Mark has a drive and let’s say, ’obsession’ with his musical craft, which means cultivating and
delivering guitar expression with a combination of passionate, fluid spontaneity and practiced precision. As of January, 2019, Mark is excited to be joining the legendary “JCB”, and intends to heartily live up to its fine tradition.

Playing keyboards and trumpet for the “JCB” is Randy Miotke. The son of a big band musician, Randy was playing music with his father at a very young age. Continuing to hone his skills Randy studied music at Colorado State University, and recording engineering with Rich Pierceall at Paragon Sound. In addition to bringing multiple years of live performance experience to the band he has had the joy of engineering and producing on a number of album projects with some great artists and friends over the last 40 years.

Dave Peters has 45 years as a professional playing mostly original music over the years but also a wide variety of club experience. He is the utility man of the band playing tenor and alto sax, keyboards and guitar. Dave brings a unique approach to some of the great signature solos that help to create the fabric of the “JCB” sound while adding his own swizzle and swagger to the band’s sound. He has extensive recording experience and continues to write and produce original music when not performing with the “JCB”.

Providing the “High Register” notes on trumpet is Rich Gray. Rich is a very active professional musician in the Denver/Rocky Mountain region of Colorado, performing as lead trumpet and soloist with numerous groups in the area.  Rich plays all styles of big band jazz, rock/pop/funk, theatrical performances, and even polkas, putting him in high demand.  Rich’s influences start with Herb Alpert and the TJB, the Tonight Show’s Doc Severinsen, as well as Maynard Ferguson, Bill Chase, Arturo Sand oval, and the Tower of Power horns. By day, Rich is a professional pilot and instructor for United Airlines. He has also spent 24 years on active and reserve duty in the Navy as a pilot.

Rounding out the “JCB” horns and providing that edgy “Low Register” into the mix on trombone is Tony Grieder.  Tony has always had the great good fortune to play with top-shelf musicians, whether its with a superb Jazz Big Band, a National Champion American Legion Band, a North American Champion Brass Band, and now with the “JCB” right here in Colorado.
