Scott Meloney
September 1, 1962
Prompted by his parents, Scott took his first piano lesson at age 6. His parents, lifelong members of the San Francisco Folk Music Club offered a frequent getaway of over-nighters on the beach during summer seasons where 25 to 40 musicians would gather and play music all night long. Along the way, mesmerized by the art of music, Scott took to the guitar while also having access to other instruments such as mandolins, banjo's, harmonicas and hammer dulcimers. By age 14, Scott started playing rock and roll and bought his first electronic "rig" and was playing guitar in bands with friends at high school events and parties. Scott entered a business life at age 20 when playing music fell to the background. Although, once in the blood, always in the blood, Scott started playing again about 8 years ago, this time playing piano & keyboards. Scott has two boys, ages 16 and 18 who play guitar, drums and bass in their own bands and Scott now enjoys playing with his kids and fellow musicians for fun.

Mark Orloff
Born March 1955
Mark Orloff got his first guitar when he was 14 years old and taught himself some basic chords and songs but stopped playing guitar a year or two later. It wasn’t until many years later that his 14 year old son Steven Orloff came to him nearly 5 years ago and asked for a guitar and some lessons. So Mark purchased two guitars, gave one to his son and kept the other for himself and together Mark and Steven have been learning to play guitar. Mark eventually began taking guitar lessons from the Napa School of Music. That lead to Mark meeting some other local musicians who have helped with his development as a guitar player. Mark made lots of friends with the local musicians and with those musicians got involved in producing live music concerts in Downtown for the past few years. Mark is impressed with the level of local musical talent and is inspired by the local musicians who he sometimes gets to play guitar with. Mark is a single dad with 3 children, Darren, Steven and Desiree ages 20, 18 and 16. He works as a Mortgage Loan Officer at Bank of America in Napa County. Mark can be found every Friday night between Memorial Day and Labor Day at Veteran’s Memorial Park working with the “Crew” producing the best show in town known as Napa City Nights.
