Got my Mojo Working

About Me


Me and my buddy Tasha. She's a fantastic singer!!
With the Purple Gang at Safari Sams in Hollywood October 2006

Visit the Rumble Bar on MySpace!




I'm a 50's-style Rock & Roll/Rhythm & Blues guitarist--I started my career with The Bellhops and The Ranch Girls, two of Holland's most popular RAB bands.I also used to play with Kid Rocker & the Phantoms, The Tinstars, Rockin' Ryan and the Real Goners, Lee Rocker, Solid Smoke, Bourbon Jones, The Specials, Levi Dexter, Robert Gordon, and so on...
So far, I've been-- and I still am-- very successful in the Rockabilly scene. I am currently playing with my own band, the CC Jerome Combo, as well as Jack and the Rippers --two of LA 's wildest and loudest Rock & Roll bands. I have just started a new project-- backing up Linda Gail Lewis as part of her new musical project, Linda Gail Lewis and her Wild Ones. We just wrapped up recording a brand new full-length album, which I co-produced with Paul Diffin (due out around X-Mas 2005). We also headlined a sold-out show at this year's Hollywood Rockabilly Showdown, and are planning a nationwide tour starting March 2006.


Linda Gail Lewis and her Wild Ones

Paul Diffin,Roy Gaines, Myself and Ed Reeves.We'll be doing an album together soon !!
Starting May 2006, I will be reuniting with the Bellhops for a short European tour. We also have dates set in the United States in the early fall. This should be a lot of fun-- something I am really looking forward to!
I occasionally play with bluesman Roy Gaines and Gary Twinn and I also back up various '50s R&B and Rockabilly old timers/legends. So if you want to come and see me play, I will be playing the scene only with the acts mentioned above. In fact, visit my website to keep updated with all of my gigs!
If you'd like to book the CC Jerome Combo, Jack and the Rippers or Linda Gail Lewis , please shoot me an e-mail.
