THE BAND

Scott has worked as a drummer and percussionist in the Central Valley and beyond in a wide variety of styles and formats for many years. Adding to the backline of dozens of performing groups, he enjoys the eclectic repertoire that Cantamos embraces, and brings extensive experience playing jazz, pop, Latin, rock, reggae and more into the mix. He remains a fan and student of the nearly lost art of brushwork on the drum set.

Jerry was born into a musical family in Richland, Washington and began playing piano at age 5. He has toured professionally in bands that played Rock, Funk, and Jazz music, and has been a solo performer at Brookside Country Club in Stockton where he resided for many years. Jerry’s easy-going personality, enormous talent, and vast repertoire have been a welcome addition to Cantamos since 2010.

Ron has been on the Calaveras County music scene for over 30 years. He is in much demand here in the foothills and beyond as a bandleader, musician, event organizer, and sound technician. Ron plays everything from Rock to Bach. His favorite genre is Latin music as the rhythms are so rich and colorful. As a performer, Ron’s energy and enthusiasm are very contagious.

Michela Macfarlane maintains an active and colorful musical lifestyle. After ten years steeped in baroque music, she delights in singing within the realms of jazz, pop, and Latin sounds of Cantamos. To further expand her interest in multiple languages and genres, Michela joined San Francisco’s 15-voiced woman’s ensemble Musae in 2010. She attributes her vocal flexibility to her experiences with the methods of Feldenkrais® and Estill Voice Training™, not to mention raising her two spirited little boys.

Fred is an Ohio native who visited California in 1976 and decided to stay. His lifelong interest in music has led him to discover the guitar over and over again, whether it is delving into James Taylor’s acoustic fingerstyle, Chet Atkins twang, or the rocking Latin finesse of Carlos Santana. Fred also understands the interplay between voice and instrument that audiences have come to expect from Cantamos, and enjoys singing with gifted vocalists like Michela Macfarlane.
