Stacy Jones
Vocals, Harmonica,
Acoustic Guitar		 Stacy Jones has had the opportunity to share her cut-loose harp riffs and sultry chops with some of the most well known blues musicians around. Born and raised in Seattle, Stacy began playing the piano at four years old and at seven she picked up the guitar. At eight her father, Tom, started bringing her up on stage to sing Hank Williams Jr. tunes with his band -- and she hasn't been able to stay away from the stage since. Stacy met up with Beth Wulff at about fourteen and that's when she was truly introduced to the blues. At sixteen she started learning how to rip on the harmonica and became a regular at The Scarlet Tree blues jams where she met Annieville and had the opportunity to trade riffs with Alice Stuart, Mark Dufresnes, Jerry Lee Davidson, Virginia Klemens, Mark Whitman, Dave Conant and many other incredible musicians. A few years later Stacy got the opportunity to play with ‘The Seattle Blues’ headed by Tim Sherman and John Hodgkin. This experience opened several doors for her and after meeting Ray Hartman, the former bass player with Dick Powell, they gathered several astounding musicians and formed ‘The Stacy Jones Band’. Next came the opportunity to play with the ‘Highway 99 Blues All-Stars’ with Randy Oxford, Jerry Lee Davidson, Virginia Klemens, John Lee, Hod Rod, and Steve Starkowski. They performed at the 2005 Taste of Tacoma and on the Miller Light Blues Stage at the 2005 Bumbershoot Festival. ‘Stacy Jones and the Wolf Tones’ is Stacy's latest and greatest endeavor.

Beth Wulff
Keyboards, Vocals 		At the age of 4, Beth, formerly Beth Morrison from Bartlesville, Oklahoma, was imitating all the pianists in her neighborhood, so by the time she was 7, her mother insisted on piano lessons. She also began performing in a family singing group at age 5. Beth took up the flute at ten, and guitar at 13, becoming her junior high school’s resident folk singer. At that time she was ready to start her career playing in a band, but the boys shunned her at first, so she hooked with now country singer Becky Hobbs. The Four Faces of Eve band evolved with Beth’s sister Mary Lou as their drummer. They performed several times on Tulsa’s local TV show, Dance Party. At nineteen Beth joined another all girl band, The Intricate Blend, which took her to Southern California. There she joined her first male band in 1969 called Early Morning. Later bands for Beth were Family Tree from Tulsa and The Bear Valley Blues Band from Wichita, Kansas. Finding Montana in 1972 she got married and lead her own band finally, the Elizabeth Morrison Band. Later on down the road Beth and her husband formed the duo Beth & Wulff, and traveled primarily in the Northwest performing together. In 1990 she became one of the Seattle Women in Rhythm and Blues, which consisted of Seattle legends Patty Allen, Kathy McDonald, Kate Hart, L. J. Porter, Merilee Rush, Nancy Claire, Valerie Rosa, Kris Shay-Tanner, Nora Michaels, Lilly Wilde, and Duffy Bishop. Through this connection she was also able to perform with Emily Remler, Mary Wells and Al Wilson. In 1985 and 1987 Christian Artists International granted Beth first place awards for 2 original Gospel compositions. Her original music has been recorded by Patty Allen, Patty Summers, Dana Lupinacci, Kevin Wallace, The Chorus Connection/Foursquare Churches, and currently Stacy Jones.

Tom Jones
Bass, Vocals

Tom Jones was born in Seattle in 1949. He spent his early years in the north end around Edmonds, Lynnwood, and Mountlake Terrace. His family moved around a lot so it was hard to lay down roots. When he was about thirteen years old, his father, who had not been part of his life, paid him a visit and took Tom and his brother Jerry out to a local pawnshop and bought them a guitar to share. He showed them a few chords and they were on their way. While still in junior high school Tom hooked up with a few garage bands and played at some school dances and local street fairs. When he started high school his family kind of fell apart and he moved to Queen Anne Hill to live with his grandparents. There he had to start all over meeting new players but managed to put together a couple of bands -- “The Gents” and “Long Hair Incorporated”. After high school it would be fifteen years before he played with any sort of musical group again and when he did he soon made the switch from guitar to bass. Since about 1985, bass has been his main instrument although he still enjoys playing and composing on the six string. Tom has played with 50’s, rockabilly, country rock, and rhythm & blues bands. Playing in a group with his daughter Stacy has rekindled his musical energy. In addition to playing music Tom has always had a passion for the production end of the business and has taken several courses in recording engineering. He currently has a project studio in Shoreline called “Loudhouse Studio” that he operates in partnership with his son Jon-Paul Jones. The two are in the process of producing a CD project for “Stacy Jones and the Wolf Tones” as well as other artists.

Jim Wulff
Drums, Vocals 		Jim Wulff knew he liked to sing from a very young age, but his “big voice” prevented him from getting a gold star on his forehead for a local grade school performance in his home state Wyoming. He did persist later regardless, and joined the high school choir as well as band as a drummer. Elected as drum major he got the big picture early with the help of his band director learning arrangements, dynamics, and tempo. At 17 he joined his first band, “The Group”, consisting of 3 trumpets and piano with Jim on percussion. In his college days, he further pursued his vocals with a choral group at Casper College and later took vocal instruction at the University of Montana. There he met and later married Beth Morrison, an inspiring performing musician. After previously playing percussion with a group out of Montana, “Novelty Jack”, Jim began working with Beth in various ensembles as a drummer. Montana’s limited venues led Beth and Jim out on the road, and eventually they worked as a “house band” on Bainbridge Island in the Seattle area. Jim has continued working as a drummer and vocalist with Beth and other area musicians, including Jack Cook, Daddy Treetops, Kevin Wallace, and recently Paula Maya, Mercedes Nicole, Michael Powers and the Noel Bennett Band, a gospel group. He is currently performing as a solo vocalist in area venues, and is playing drums primarily with Stacy Jones and the Wolf Tones, while working on his own recordings and the Wolf Tones CD projects.

Jeff Menteer
Guitar, Vocals 		Originally from Spokane, Jeff started out playing in numerous rock bands that worked throughout Eastern Washington, Idaho, Montana and at times up in Canada. Then deciding to go back to school to study music theory, he spent a couple years playing in a country band every weekend at the State Line between Washington and Idaho and did the guitar work for EWSU's production of the rock opera Tommy. While he was a poor student the allure of money grabbed him and he set off on a 10 year odyssey that took him from working in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to the Persian Gulf side of Saudi Arabia and to travels through Southeast Asia and the Philippines. He crewed on a 100-ton sailboat on an extended trip down the Pacific side of Latin America, transiting the Panama Canal into the Caribbean. On all his travels his guitar was his steady companion. The demands of job, family, and lifestyle kept him from playing gigs consistently for the next 20 years though he continued to study and write songs. About 10 years ago, Jeff started studying blues guitar and discovered the playing of Robben Ford. The mixing of blues, rock, jazz and funk elements into rhythm comping and soloing has been his focus since.
