Red Thorn Rocks Rancho

Not only do I love the music they cover from bands like Green Day, Bush and Radiohead but they’re serving our country providing us peace and freedom at home. Check these guys out. They’re playing local gigs and private parties now, but soon should be rockin local clubs. Read about how these guys got togehter and stayed together through a lot of difficult times.

Mark, Kevin, and Nathan started the band in 1999 as a group that just jammed together. Mark sang and played Bass at that time. Occasionally, others jammed with them for fun. In late 2001 Curt Stofold (no longer part of the band) joined the group. In 2003 Nathan went to flight school and the band took a year long break. Just as Nathan was preparing to come home, he found out that he was destined to go on a deployment immediately following his flight instruction. The band got together for a jam session in August 2004 and then waited another year for Nathan to come home.

When Nathan returned from the deployment the band was reunited. In 2006, Curt left the band to pursue a Neil Diamond Tribute band called Diamond Eyes, which operates successfully in Northern California. Shortly thereafter, Ken joined the band as a bassist allowing Mark to concentrate on singing. This group got the ball rolling on many covers and increased the level of the band to that worthy of private parties and small clubs. In July 2008, Jay was added as a second guitarist, contributing greatly to the overall sound of the band. The band as it is formed now has Mark on Vocals, Kevin and Jay on Guitar with some backup vocals by Kevin, Ken on Bass, and Nathan on Drums and backup vocals.
