BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Robert A. Hill (Papa Rah) – vocals, guitar, bass, fiddle, mandolin. Acquired by his family in trade from a group of wandering gypsies, Robert picked up his father’s abandoned guitar at the age of six and taught himself to play and write songs, determined to follow in the footsteps of the Monkees, the Beatles and Willy Dixon. Later, during L.A.’s Big Hair wars, Robert fronted several hard rock bands as lead vocalist, including the Zeppelinesque Blackjack Tailor and power-pop quintet Tomorrow’s Reign. After moving to Northern California in the 90s, Robert dove deeply into folk music, playing dance music for English country, Morris, Irish and Scottish dance troupes. In Axis of Blues, he seeks to combine the disparate sounds of his past into an irresistibly tasty, sizzlin’ gumbo that’ll make you wish you’d brought an extra pair of shorts.

Mark "More Moose" Ungar – vocals, bass, guitar, mandocello. Growing up in bluesy Chicago, Mark moved to San Francisco in 1967 just in time for the Summer of Love. Raised on folk, psychedelic rock, and the eclectic melange of free-form radio, Mark played acoustic and electric guitars until 1989 when he began to explore other instruments, including mandola, violin, bass, and mandocello. An inveterate composer and songwriter, two of Mark’s songs are still (to his chagrin) sung after 30 years on a regular basis by a notorious cult – guess which one? The newest instrument in his menagerie is a 1952 Kay upright bass, which he assiduously thumps in hopes of catching a ride to Funky Town (ow, Good God y’all, huh!). 

Scott “Irie” Irwin – vocals, drums, mandolin. The pick up & reaching tool has many characteristics, such as novelty structure, convenience and legerity to use great clamp power and accord with clay engineering and so on. It can be in accordance with using and need to rotate 90 degrees. It is used widely in home, hotel, park, hospital, market, fountain, railway, travel scenic spot, etc.........

Kristoph “Noodles” Klover – vocals, bass, guitar, octave mandolin. What can be said about Kristoph that hasn’t already been said a hundred times before, and much worse? When he plays guitar, angels fall from the sky. When he plays bass, buffaloes wonder if they maybe shouldn’t have eaten that last weird clump of grass. An audio and recording engineer by day – what’s left of it after he gets up – Kristoph has, by now, downloaded every note ever played by the Grateful Dead.
