Lead vocalist Erika has been singing since the age of three. 

In 1989 Erika signed with Taj Records (a division of Motown) as a lead vocalist in the all-girl R&B group, Genteel. In 1991, Erika was named “L.A.’s most talented teen” and she later went on to study theater arts.   

Erika is also a talented vocal impressionist, which makes each performance with Uncle Boogie something very special.

In addition to being a lead singer and keyboardist for Uncle Boogie, former radio personality Jon St. John is also a well known voice actor.

His voice is heard daily on radio and TV stations around the world, not only on commercials, but as the stations' "imaging" voice. 

Jon is also known internationally as the voice of the iconic video game hero - DUKE NUKEM!

Uncle Boogie's "lead" man is accomplished guitarist - Jeff Jacobson.

JJ is also co-owner of one of San Diego's biggest concert sound companies    Audio Design  www.audiodesign.us 

which means that Uncle Boogie can always provide the very best sound and lighting systems for our performances.

 Native San Diegan, Andrea has been a fixture on the San Diego Music scene since the 1980’s.  Singing with groups such as “Toys”, “Kicks”, “The Sound Doctor’s” and the “The Ravelle’s” - a Motown Revue group. 

While her favorites are songs from the Motown era, she enjoys singing everything from Country to Jazz. 

Andrea inherited her love of music from her father who sang in Big Band Groups in the 40’s, and from her mother who is an accomplished pianist.

 Uncle Boogie's drummer and leadvocalist J.L. Hotel didn’t just learn to play by just banging on drums in the garage, he attended and graduated from the highly esteemed Percussion Institute of Technology-Hollywood in 1992 and is an outstanding player.

Along with his remarkable drumming, his upbeat, outgoing personality makes him one of this band’s shining stars.

Terry Wardell - the guy who adds the “low end” to Uncle Boogies’ sound.  Terry especially enjoys playing in this band because he is now able to perform with his brother – drummer JL Hotel. 

Terry has been singing and playing since the age of thirteen, and has certainly paid his dues, from smokey clubs and county fairs, to large halls and festival stages.

Terry has played bass for every kind of band from Rock, to Jazz, to Punk; he was also a member of the Rock-a-Billy band  “Free Range Fritz”.  But Uncle Boogie is his favorite band to date
