Matthew Lockey

I’m a guitarist with nearly 20 years of playing and a lifelong singer. Born in Hoquiam, WA, I fell in love with island jams while pursuing my Master’s in Educational Administration at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I’m grateful to be surrounded by such talented musicians and to share that island-inspired sound with audiences.

Rhythm Guitar, Lead Vocals, Harp

My name is Rex Olson and call the Puget Sound my home. I've been playing for 15 years. I played in a indie folk band called Booker Tom and the Mountaineers gigging around Snoqualmie and carnation. I really got hooked on bass about 10 years ago while attending the Centrum Jazz Camp in Port Townsend. From there I've spent my time jamming with local musicians and friends exploring different genres.

Bass, Backup Vocals

Bryan Jones

Hi, my name is Bryan Jones, and I have over 30 years behind the kit. My foundation is in jazz. Throughout school, I played in multiple jazz bands, concert bands, and jazz choirs, and that experience shaped the player I am today.

Over the years, I’ve had the chance to perform with some amazing groups including Slacktide Soul, Ian Ayers and the Soul Purpose, Longstride, and The Staxx Brothers, to name a few. I’ve played countless clubs and festivals around the Pacific Northwest and beyond, from The Showbox to Bite of Seattle, Folklife Festival, Marymoore Park, The World Ski and Snowboard Festival in Whistler, BC and many more.

These days, I call Camano Island home, where I live with my family and continue doing what I love most—playing good music with good people.

Henry Smith-Hunt

I’m a trombonist and educator from the Seattle area, where I’ve been playing for over 15 years and performing professionally since 2022. I teach private trombone at Shoreline Community College and stay active in both jazz and contemporary music scenes. Originally from Mountlake Terrace and now based in Newcastle, I’ve had the opportunity to perform and record with saxophonists Jeff Kashiwa and Nelson Rangell, including appearances on Kashiwa’s latest record, tour dates in London, and frequent performances at Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley. My playing is rooted in big band tradition, but I’ve grown to love the flexibility and color of contemporary jazz as I’ve been immersed in the music of Jeff Kashiwa and other smooth jazz artists—spaces where I feel my sound truly comes alive.

My name is Neil Proff, but everyone who knows me just calls me Prof. I got my BA in Music Education, CWU. Masters in Music Ed and Conducting, ABC/Southern Oregon and NBCT. I’ve been playing the saxophone for 38 years. In my jazz life, I play, teach, and judge locally, have lead the Eastside Modern Jazz Orchestra for 24 years and was a founding member of the NW Jazz Conspiracy. In my rock/reggae life, my favorite gig I’ve ever had was playing for the incomparable Austin Jenckes as part of the First Call. My former students include, among many others, Austin Jenckes, Joachim Nordenson, Zack Thayer, and the members of Roughneck. I call Lake Stevens home where I teach and live with my partner and family of musicians.
