As the saying goes, “Time flies when you’re having fun,†and for Junkyard Jane it’s been a barrel of monkeys for the past 10 years as Billy Stoops and Leanne Trevalyan have been hosts to a non-stop party.
Add one more. Thursday, Sept. 13, at Jazzbones, Junkyard Jane will celebrate 10 years of performing swampabilly roots together.
Junkyard Jane was formed in 1997out of stragglers from three different bands with a common vision: to have fun with music. The ensemble of first class musicians has changed over the years, but Stoops and Trevalyan have remained the glue that has kept the Northwest’s number one party band together.
With a funky mix of blues, twang and rock ’n’ roll, the band defied labels and created music on their own terms, which they dubbed “swampabilly roots.†Stoops’ nasty mastery of the Strat coupled with his powerfully rich voice is complimented by Trevalyan’s whimsical vocals and the occasional kazoo solo.
To date they have released five unique discs on which they showcased their extra rich harmonies and gritty take on country and blues. This month the members are reuniting for a September to remember. Past alumni, including sax whiz Susan Orfield, trombonist extraordinaire Randy Oxford and multi-talented Jim King, will all be on hand to celebrate. â€" Tony Engelhart
