| Just People: General Info
|
| Member Since | 3/17/2007 | | Band Website | justpeoplemusic.com | | Band Members |  Scott Gilmore: Vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, awkward burbles.
The Register Guard claims: “Scott Gilmore is an incorrigible idealist”. While this may be true, Scott’s lyrics are grounded in reality and backed with a degree in Journalism from the University of Oregon. Raised by sagacious writers, Gilmore wields both the pen as well as his trademark purple guitar in a battle for the awakening of the world. He may be a dreamer, but then again, aren’t we all?
Alex Greene: Percussion
Alex Greene represents all that is good in rock and roll. With flowing long hair and fluent style, it is hard not to think of him as a reincarnation of John Bonham. His drumming spawns from something deeper than music to create an inspiring back-bone to anything he touches. With uncontrollable passion, Greene attacks his drums in an all out flurry of power and precision. He may blow your mind on the kit, but he is also one of the most humble people you will ever meet.
 Todd Gee: Bass
Todd Gee is like a rock on the bass. He holds down the fort with ever evolving riffs that sooth your mind and let you know that everything is going to be okay. Dubbed “The Magic Man” for his ability to make things happen, Todd Gee creates pitch perfect bass lines with out as much of a bead of sweat descending from his brow. You may ask yourself: “How does he do it?” It’s just Todd Genius the Magic Man.
Peter Marcott: Lead Guitar
Peter Marcott is a throwback to the days where guitar solos could slice your ears in half with just one bar. Dubbed “The End” for his ability to close down shows with
the audience in an uproar, Marcott creates licks that haven’t graced our speakers since the likes of Jimi Hendrix. This virtuoso isn’t just a shredder, he is classically trained in music and has written several of his own ensembles. Combining a rich musical background with shear unbelievable talent, Peter Marcott is a name you should remember, or you can just call him The End.
Rachel Hom: Flute
Rachel rocks the flute like it’s nobodies business. Her obscene musical prowess and spot on fills will leave you shivering in your booties. Don’t worry, Rachel may seem savage behind the flute, but she will just as quickly warm you up a cup of hot’ cocoa and serenade you to sleep.
Ian Ridgeway: Lead Guitar on "Yet To Be Named"
Ian Ridgeway joined the band as a side project from his main focus “Move Something” in 2007. Within two practices the guitar legend had pinpointed the sound needed for the upcoming album and performed it flawlessly in the studio. Ian incorporates influences such as Trey Anastasio and Jerry Garcia to create a tone that is both refreshing and powerful on the guitar
| | Influences | People who remember when they became people. Smiles. Adversity. Passion. The Beatles. Discussion. Irony. Awkward Situations. Humor. Laughing. Love. Being yourself. Goals. Picking up trash. Honesty. Theorizing. Not watching television. Reading. Color. Adventures. Trees. Thoughts. Unfinished Thoug... Music. Everything. Nothing. Vague cop-out explanations. Dreams. Memories. Creation. Comedy. Ideas. Beauty. Intelligence. | | Sounds Like | If you tossed three generally fuzzy kittens in the air only to have them land on a grand piano miraculously playing Mozart's Requiem, except it is in the wrong key. Damn it kittens! Can't you get anything right!

| About Just People |
|
Just People originated in 2007 as a new social construct based upon kindness, trust and the ideal of getting what you give. With the main goal of raising social consciousness, Just People quickly began gathering followers. Understanding the necessity to connect with others, Just People formed into a band to more easily spread this poignant message. Their first release, We Are, was created with a myriad of musicians but focusses on the idealistic goals of songwriter Scott Gilmore. 1,000 copies were produced and given away for free throughout the West Coast. In 2008, the band traveled to Seattle Washington to record Just People’s second full length album titled Yet To Be Named. The album was released for free on April 5th and is currently available for free at JustPeopleMusic.com. Now in full swing, Yet To Be Named has reached countless ears and has began to represent the power and possibility of an entire generation. With family all over the West Coast, Just People are growing at an alarming rate, welcoming anyone who wishes to be a part of the evolution. The band is currently in the process of recording their third full length album, "Rise of The Evolutionaries".
Although their recordings are strong, a Just People live show is not something to be missed. They have free CD's, live artwork and are often known to give away t-shirts or other free Just People merchandise. The goal of these shows is to join fellow aware individuals together to celebrate life as well as create a strong social base in which progress can be created. In the end, We Are All Just People.
