Stop, Drop & Rock!

Stop, Drop and Rock! Is made up of 4 musicians ages 12-13 who began playing together in fourth grade. Most of them began without any prior experience singing or playing instruments and now many of them play different roles during their performances, switching instruments and taking turns on vocals. Miles Cabrera provides a solid foundation on drums and can also be seen playing bass and guitar. He has contributed to our original songs, writing the music with his dad to several originals. Kathryn Root is a natural lead person, often singing vocals and exploring the drums and bass. On stage she is confident and fearless and always helps keep the band together. Rory Reshovsky is our intrepid lead guitarist, with two years background in acoustic, classical guitar. He brings intense focus, technical support and commitment to the band that is much appreciated. Finally, Jasmine McEachran has joined our band as a vocalist and is learning to play the bass. She is an accomplished dancer and inspires her fellow band members to up their showmanship.In the last 3 years they have played several local events on the island. Beginning with the Teddy Bear Tea 2005 at the Community Theatre, Stop, Drop & Rock! has played the SJ Prevention Coalition New Year’s Eve Family Celebration and the PTA Talent Show for three years in a row. They have played Roche Harbor Resort and The Second Chance Prom with their music mentors, Ben Rice and the Youth of Blues. They enjoyed playing the monthly open mic at The Grange during the summer of 2006 and have played private parties and donated their fee to funding music and dance scholarships for their fellow students. Playing fund raisers from Relay for Life to music festivals supporting the Orcas Funhouse is paramount to their summer scheduling. In 2008 they have enjoyed spending some time in the recording studio at The Rock & Roll Conservatory. Their first Demo release is scheduled for the Zombie Prom on October 31st. The band enjoyed playing the Casbah and Main Stage at the Summer Meltdown this year in Darrington! For the last 3 years mid-August, they rocked the San Juan County Fairgrounds debuting their new originals. They also host Rock Shop workshops that provide affordable musical instruction for their peers and have helped organize a fundraiser for rebuilding efforts in New Orleans. At this time, they have over 1 hr of material including 6 originals and several covers. They continue to pursue their own musicianship and work together to express themselves creatively. Former band members include, Nelson Wynn, Chandra Crawford, Isabel Place and Jessica Walch
