The Players

Dr. Rock played bass with Sacramento's Nighthawks when the band featured Nate Shiner and Johnny "Guitar" Knox. Attracted to the blues power of 60's interpreters such as Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton, the Doctor plugs into that source every time he plays and delivers it with The Stuff. 

Bob Mariano prefers to keep his guitar playing simple, using well-placed notes to beef up songs with solid rhythms and tasteful solos. Bob also sings the blues with raw soul. 


Dave Lynch has been playing guitar since he was 12. A two time Sammy winner, Dave fronts his own jazz fusion unit, The Dave Lynch Group, and runs the venerable Guitar Workshop on J Street in Sacramento. Dave also loves to rock, and gets down and dirty with The Stuff.

Steve Namle has been a member of the Sacramento music scene since the 70's.  An early blues enthusiast, he branched out to other genres, and toured cross country with several bands. After a stint as house drummer at the Palomino Club in N. Hollywood, Steve returned to Sacramento, and gigs from time to time, often with The Stuff. An R&B influenced drummer, his styles include cajun/zydeco, original rock, country and blues.
