Santa Cruz Bible Church Celebrate Recovery Band
February 07
Santa Cruz Bible Church Celebrate Recovery Band / JZM
Pictures are from outreach events and our CD release concert in 2005
The song Amazing Saving Grace is written by Jen Zumot Miller the leader of the group.
This was the motown band I played with in 1982 at the Santa Cruz County Fair
Enjoy this demo of me singing some Led Zeppelin in 1982! This is "Part 1", be sure and play "Part 2" below
I began taking classical piano lessons at the age of six, and was a four year member of the California Musicians’ Guild. In 1967 my family moved to Capitola California. It was there I began to understanding how to play the guitar, bass, four string banjo, and mandolin. My mainstay was to play multiple keyboards, and emulate my keyboard hero Rick Wakeman of Yes.
As the 70s ended, I was able to develop my keyboard style in a progressive rock band called Broken Road. The band released an extended play record that received air play on local Central California radio stations and was voted in1981“Most Popular Band” by the Santa Cruz Good Times and Metro San Jose.
Right after Broken Road disbanded, I started a group that was know for their “Tribute to Led Zeppelin”, COENcidence was our name, and we opened shows for: Pat Travers, Three Dog Night, Buddy Miles, Caned Heat, Pat Simmons of the Doobie Brothers, Lydia Pense and Cold Blood, Les Dudek, Robin Trower, The Medflys, Hot Tuna, Nova, The Tubes, Mahogany Rush, and many others.
After loosing my voice from singing Robert Plant for several years, I sold out to play with a Top 40 band five nights a week. I often found myself traveling across the United States.
As the 90s came around, I was working as the keyboardist and manager for Santa Cruz based Motown band Touch and my own group The Escalators. While working with both bands, I partnered with a friend and started a recording studio using an old school reel to reel. Within the first few years of the studios opening, my partner and I along with other fellow musicians recorded a water conservation song that was played bay area radio stations, and we received a commendation from the office of the Mayor of San Jose.
Today I am believer in recovery from drugs, alcohol, and co-dependency and have stayed clean from all of it including cigarettes as of January 2nd of 2000. None of this is of my own doing but what God has done through me. After four decades of playing music professionally all over the bay area, and across the country, I now dedicate myself to playing keyboards for a local worship teams in Santa Cruz, leading worship at local churches, outreach events, and minister in the California prison system.
My heart of service is to bring hope through music to the lost where ever that may be while producing Christian, concerts, toy drives and fundraisers for noble causes. Presently I promote and produce struggling Christian musician’s in my recording studio in Aptos, California.
But the real wealth is in my relationships with my family and friends. Most of all I am thankful for the relationship I have with my higher power Jesus, for He has taken me, and all the things I have done wrong in my life, to use for His glory. He has freed me by paying the ultimate price and now, I can be used to serve Him by serving others. All things are possible through accepting Jesus as your higher power and working the twelve steps.

Greetings O, I recently ran across the video you put together for Jen's "Amazing Saving Grace" on YouTube. There were some clips of when we were doing that recording in the studio and it brought back many great memories. That was an incredible project and came out quite well if I may say so. I hope to work with you again in the future whether it's with the Lou Deluca Band or on one of your other projects.
