Member Since4/18/2006
Band Websitewww.skyedowning.com & www.sonicbids.com/jockamo
Band MembersThe Skye Downing Band unfortunately is no more, but it was a great run and I am enjoying participating in many diverse projects. My primary focus these days is the band Jockamo who I have been singing with for four years now. Band Members are as follows: Skye Downing - VOX. Randy Sibley - Guitar. Rich "Papamo" Johnson - VOX/Keys/Organ & Accordion. John Gould - Bass. Al Sutton - Drums. & our very own horn blowers.... Jeff Ingram - Saxamaphone & Rick Jones - Trumpet.
InfluencesDr. John, Elvin Bishop, Susan Tedeschi, Koko Taylor, Maria Muldaur, Joan Osborne, Albert Collins, Etta james, Shemekia Copeland, Paul Rishell, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Carol Fran, Irma Thomas, and many more.
Sounds LikeWe have been affectionately dubbed as a New Orleans party band, but we have so much more to offer in addition to that. I like to think of us as a "Bluesiana" band - playing a wide array of tunes from solid blues & funk, all the way down to the bayou swamp boogies that Papamo pulls out on that accordion. Laissez les bons temps rouler!!
