Debra has been playing harmonica up and down the coast of California for 30+ years. Her style has some of the grit from her east coast birthplace, the Bronx, NY. But it wasn’t until she arrived in California and went to an intimate concert by two older black men, Cephas & Wiggins, a blues guitarist and a harmonica player, that she got hooked on the idea of playing the blues on harmonica. From there she grew to tackle the diversity and challenge of playing a variety of genres on harmonica. This has led her to sit in, or be a member of, many different types of bands, some of them famous musicians such as Bo Diddley, Eric Burdon from the Animals, Robby Krieger from the Doors and Michael Franti.

Debra is a passionate and soulful player. Her ability to keep the beat with shakers while simultaneously playing the harmonica and singing lead or back-up vocals, makes her a valuable addition to any group of seasoned players.

     Rick Beaumont began learning Piano at age 6, taking 8 years of private lessons in the traditional and classical studies.  He studied music as his Minor while at Cal State University at Fullerton, and followed that with 2 years playing with the Orange Coast College Jazz Band.  He started playing professionally in 1974, and moved to the Central Coast in 1981, where he played only part-time in local bands for several years.  Here, in San Luis Obispo County, Rick has played with, and recorded CDs with several well-known artists: Merrell Fankhauser with Louie Ortega, Burnin' James Scoolis, Robi Duganne and the Narrow Bridge Band, Casey Biggs and the Paso Wine Man Band, and Denis Degher (Sleepy Guitar Johnson) with vocalist Joy Bonner.  
In 2018, Rick was brought on board by Blues Recording Artist Laser Lloyd for his California Tour, which finished by opening the Bluesapalooza Festival in Mammoth Lakes, California, on the main stage.

Frankie has been groovin’ the Central Coast since the early 80’s in well known local bands as The Sneakers, Pier Pressure, (Olde Port Inn house band) the Bar Sharks, Chris Kieth Band, and even a couple worship bands! Frankie came to the Central Coast in the late 70’s with musical partner, Louie Ortega and the Salsa Brava Band, since establishing himself as the go to bass player for many local bands. He keeps The Mojo Combo rock solid and steady like a well oiled groove machine.

Dave was born and raised in Wichita Kansas. In 1966 he began “drumming” to Sandy Nelson records using pencils and the family couch as his drum set. His parents got the hint, and ordered a drum set from the JC Penny catalog…a Star is born! Fast forward to 1969, a pro drum set and his first pro band- The Mood. They were an eight piece horn group performing songs from Chicago, Tower of Power,  Johnny Winter and Spirit. The Mood morphed into a regional touring Rock band named Tinear, and covered songs from Deep Purple, Edgar Winter, Stevie Wonder and Robin Trower.

IIn 1980 Dave started a 30 career in Public Works with the City of SLO. During those years Dave had an opportunity to visit the National Association of Music Merchants trade show, and re-visit a rekindled desire to re-enter the world of music and become part of the local Central Coast music community.

Dave co-founded the popular Back Pages Band, which is now ending a memorable 11 year run in 2026. Gigging was a colorful collection of venues and people in SLO, Santa Barbara and Merced County which included opening for The Young Dubliners, and a great jump up performance with Billy Idol bassist Stephen McGrath. Dave also played drums on a CD of original songs by Unfinished Business founder Ed Miller, and produced by Terry Lawless, of U2 fame and more.

Dave’s new musical home is drumming for The Mojo Combo, and we are very happy making music with him. He is also attending a two-year course for Recording Arts certification at Cuesta College. 

You’ve got the beat, Dave!!
