Junkyard Jane is a Northwest "Swampabilly" blues band performing original music and consisting of: vocalist/percussionist Leanne Trevalyan, vocalist/guitarist Billy Stoops, bassist Barbra Blue, drummer Pete Marzano, and harmonicist/saxophonist Jim King.

Contents

The band coined the term "Swampabilly" as their defining genre when asked to describe their sound; a gumbo of Americana, blues, country, folk, funk, rock, and swampy, New Orleans influenced music written by songwriters Trevalyan and Stoops.

Former members include saxophonist Susan Orfield, trombonist Randy Oxford, bassist Alex Featherstone and drummers Chris Leighton, Darin Watkins, and Tom Sunderland.

Formation

Junkyard Jane's beginnings can be traced back to 1997, when the bands Cobalt Hook, The Generators, and a newly formed all-female group merged. When Stoops replaced the guitarist for the girl band, the three ensambles joined forces and became Junkyard Jane, with founding members being Leanne Trevalyan, Billy Stoops, Barbra Blue, Susan Orfield and Chris Leighton.
