The Rockafellers would like to welcome our new singer, Russ Bright. Born and Raised in Seattle, Washington, Russ Has spent most of his life in front of an audience. A singer since age 2, he has performed onstage with many bands, in musicals and operas, has sung on soundtracks for TV and film as well as commercials and also sang backup on nationally released albums. His passion for music (and a degree in Audio Engineering) has led him across the country with stops at recording studios in Orlando, Nashville and Detroit. Musical influences are too many to count, and you are just as likely hear him listening to Pavarotti as to Pantera. Favorite singers; David Pack, Michael McDonald, Steve Perry, Burton Cummings and David Clayton Thomas (to name a few)

 

 

The Rockafellers would like to welcome Josh Hollingsworth on bass guitar. Josh is currently studying music at The University of Washington, and plans to be a music teacher.

 

The Rockafellers would like to welcome Mike Kestersen on keyboards and vocals. Mike is a rippin' keyboard player and gets the chance to prove it when the Rockafellers roll out the complex stylings of music from Steely Dan to Chicago to Little River Band. Mike also adds a fifth singer to the group, making sure that songs like "Happy Anniversary" by LRB, reach out and grab ya! Mike has toured Alaska and California and has played with the band Pop Culture for the past several years.
