Gil was playing guitar before the Beatles, but their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show inspired him to form his first band, The Shining. During high school he played in a folk-inspired group called The Newcomers and co-wrote and recorded the opening and closing jingles for the Salem, Oregon, Meier & Frank department store.Coffee house appearances helped pay for his time as an art major – music minor at the University of Oregon. Inspired by Dylan, The Youngbloods, Moody Blues and Joni Mitchell, his songwriting reflected the spirit of the 60’s. Transferring to Western Oregon State College in Monmouth, Gil played jazz in the school stage band and spent most weekends playing rock and roll in several house bands in nearby Dallas, OR.In 1974 he joined a touring band in Florida which soon became the Starliters behind Joey D of "Peppermint Twist" fame. After a year on the road, he returned to Monmouth and joined Diamondback, a Southern Rock-inspired band he still performs with on occasion.Employing a style which blends elements of blues, rock, jazz and folk, Gil's songwriting took a more serious turn when he moved to Portland in 1982. “This is when I really started to study the craft aspect of songwriting,” he says. “So many writers feel every word they put on a piece of paper is sacred, but when you study other successful song writers, you soon realize you may have to write 50 really good verses just to get three great ones.”Moving to Newberg in 1997, Gil has performed regularly at festivals and private events as a solo act and with Kickapoo Pounce and Diamond Jones. In 2000, Gil released his “On The Way Home” CD of original music as his alter ego–testament JONES. At the same time he became a board member of the Portland Songwriters Association.At the Sunday night blues jams in downtown Newberg, Gil connected with many of the area musicians. “There have been more than a fair share of magic moments on that stage,” he says. “There are so many really talented people in town and jam hosts Myron Leroy and Dan Seymour really set a tone that allows great things to happen. This is where I met Cliff and George Edmonston and when we play together it just feels right. The three of us recorded The Gil Reynolds Trio CD in early 2006. It's was really a treat to see how these gifted players interpret my songs. They give them a life that transcends my original concepts while staying true to the spirit and soul of the songs.”Doug HuntI’ve been writing songs most of my life but in 2008 the economy tanked and I had to leave my life as a visual artist to become a truck driver. After a couple of years I started carrying a guitar with me and began focusing on songwriting.I don’t believe I have a particular style, my songs are just me. Maybe Amreicana with a bit of blues tossed in around the edges and occasionally a touch of silliness. There are accidental moments of metaphor but I usually discover those long after the song is finished. Just stories about moments in time, mostly upbeat, rhythm based and I hope, interesting to listen to.www.doughuntmusic.comwww.doughuntart.comwww.youtube.com/doughuntartBio for Victor DesRoches (Boxcar Figaro)Songwriter Victor DesRoches has been a solid contributor to the Fresno and Eugene music scenes as both a solo performer and front man for the folk/Americana band Boxcar Figaro for more than 20 years.His honest, well-made, slightly quirky and sometimes moving songs reflect a life that has been lived honestly and observantly.
