About the band
Country, rock & blues from the high desert

Kiri "Mariposa" Hall
Lead vocals · Bass
Kiri “Mariposa” Hall has been singing for as long as she can remember. It all started as a child, harmonizing with her sisters, and that early love of music grew into a 30-year career as a singer and bass player with a sound rooted in the heart of the Southwest. A true multi-instrumentalist, Kiri plays electric bass, keyboard, six-string guitar, and ukulele. She has shared the stage with country and western swing favorites, opening for Asleep at the Wheel, Walker Montgomery, and Aaron Tippin. As a solo artist, she became a familiar voice in historic Tombstone, Arizona, entertaining visitors from around the world in one of the West’s most legendary towns. She has been hired to sing the Star-Spangled Banner at rodeos, concerts, car races, veterans and Memorial Day ceremonies, and hockey games — most notably at an international motorcycle race at Laguna Seca Raceway, complete with a military jet flyover!
Greg Hall
Lead guitar
Greg Hall was influenced by his youth while living in the Bay Area, shaped by the classic rock of Jimi Hendrix, Peter Frampton, and Cream — and by the very first album he ever bought, Steppenwolf Live. He has played in bands for more than 30 years, including a Rolling Stones tribute band that performed internationally. A great asset to the band, Greg brings a creative and technical mind to everything from production to building guitars and amplifiers. He is one of the creative forces behind the band’s original songs, with his imprint largely on “Cars of My Youth,” “Devils in the Details,” and “Swiss Army Husband” — all featured on the band’s first full-length album, currently in production.
Mark Eaton
Drums · Vocals
Raised in a musical family, Mark first started playing drums in his family band “Country Crossroads” at the age of 11 — his mother on rhythm guitar, his father on pedal steel, his uncle on lead guitar and his aunt on bass. Mark has played in many bands over the years, ranging from the more traditional country to 80s hair bands to top 40. His talents extend beyond the drum kit, as he is a skilled vocalist who can sing lead but provide exceptional harmonies. His musical biography extends beyond 4 decades! Not only does Mark provide a solid rhythm, but he has been a “hired gun” for groups that need a drummer in a pinch for shows. Mark keeps the blues steady and makes sure the groove always feels like home.
