Jude
Lozon: Vocals
 The response
to Jude’s first singing solo at 8 years old was tremendously positive.
She loved the experience and was “hooked” from that moment on.
At that young age, she learned to read music and began playing trumpet. After
picking up the french and baritone horns, she eventually abandoned the instruments
to concentrate on her singing. “You can’t sing and play the trumpet
at the same time.” The roots of her performing were in church. Fortunate
to have a wonderful public school music program, she went on to perfect light
opera, classical, musical theatre, and pop vocal styles. As a young adult,
she expanded her singing styles to include contemporary rock. As a reflection
of her eclectic musical taste, she added blues, jazz, country, rhythm &
blues, and soul to her repertoire. A San Francisco Bay Area native, Jude’s
singing has allowed her to tour throughout the Western United States. Jude
was the front person for the Stanford-based Rock and Roll/R&B band DEAD
TONGUES for several years. With acting interest and talent, she has acted
in local community theatre performing both dramas and musicals. In college,
her major was drama with a minor in music. Jude
currently fronts her own exceptional band billed as JUDE LOZON and SCRUMPTIOUS.
Her powerful voice can be enjoyed as she renders dynamic versions of contemporary
and old-school rock, blues, R&B, jazz, soul, and disco selections…and
more…for which she has a passion.Jude sings her heart out for you. The audience shares in the love. |

There
are not enough words to describe this extremely versatile and talented drummer/vocalist.
Dennis’ musical journey started at the age of 10 when he began playing
and singing in church. Later, as a high school student in Lancaster, CA,
he further honed his talents as a member of a variety of rock and soul bands.
In 1978, Dennis picked up his childhood roots and relocated to San Jose along
with his guitarist friend, Oliver Harris. With Dennis on drums and vocals
along with Oliver on guitar and vocals, their band, The Tear Magnets, experienced
considerable success and a critically-acclaimed CD. Since that time, Dennis
has continued to entertain audiences with his invaluable musical and personal
spirit. He is a mainstay of the Bay Area music scene and has contributed
his multifaceted talents playing with numerous well-renowned groups and musicians,
such as: Ike and the Coldbloods, Velvet Plum, Pearl Alley, Flea Amigos, Lara
Price, Kay Bohler, J.C.Smith, Franky Ramos, Will Roc, Bill C. Ireton, Red
Archibald, John Garcia, Maria Muldaur, Archie Lee Hooker, John Lee Hooker,
Sr. and many more. In addition to being the backbone of Jude Lozon and Scrumptious,
Dennis leads his own rhythm and blues band, The Dennis Dove Band (formerly
RB Xpress). Dennis' band had the privilege of playing at the 2007 San Jose
Jazz Festival on the Blues Stage. Dennis can also be found gathering professional
musicians together at weekly Blues jams at JJ’s Blues in San Jose and
Fog Bank in Capitola, among other venues. His efforts to promote live music
in the Bay Area are noteworthy. 
Stuart
started playing guitar in 1976 and was schooled in his craft at the Showcase
Music Institute. He is accomplished in rock, jazz, blues, and fusion and
is equally adept at performing on electric, acoustic, and 12-string guitars.
He has graced the stage with many original rock, jazz, funk, blues, and
top-40 groups, including the original rock group Atlantis, and received
a Northern California “Best of the Bay” award for his work with
the original group Alien. Both Alien and Atlantis received heavy airplay
on San Francisco Bay area radio stations KSJO, KOME, and KRQR. Stuart has
shared concert bills with many well known acts including Quiet Riot, Robin
Trower, Cheap Trick, Pat Travers, Night Ranger, The Scorpions, Blue Oyster
Cult and Alice Cooper. He plays all over the U.S. and abroad with Led Zeppelin
tribute band Heartbreaker as well as with local bands Velvet Plum, Sedeuce
and the Flea Amigos. For more info, see 
As
the child of two music teachers, Paul started his musical experimentation
at a young age playing piano, trumpet, and guitar before finally picking
up the bass at age 16. A 1994 graduate of University of Denver, Paul studied
Commercial Music under the tutelage of Lou Fischer (Woody Herman, Charlie
Byrd) and John Arnesen (Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Central City Opera).
Relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1995, he continued bass lessons
with Kai Eckhardt (John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham). Paul has worked with singer/songwriter
Dana Hubbard and opened for Joe Louis Walker and Charlie Musselwhite. He
has performed and recorded with Terry Hiatt, appearing at the Monterey Blues
Festival. Paul was also a part of Rene Solis and NiteCry showcases backing
up Ron Thompson, Sammy Varela, Chris Cain, and Kevin Russell. In addition,
Paul has played with John Chrisley, Archie Lee Hooker, the Penguin Jazz Quartet,
and a host of others. Since 2000, Paul has been the house bassist for the
Church of the Highlands Orchestra: current Highlands rhythm section includes
drummer Curt Moore (Soul Sauce) and guitarist Steve Erquiaga (Windham Hill
