Jackson Stone Band...strong name for a rockin' band! They storm the stage with their lighting fast, hard-hitting, guitar-seasoned Southern Rock, Rhythm, and Blues. The heritage that southern rockers such as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels and .38 Special brought to America's Rock scene changed the live music landscape forever. In Northern California, among the Giant Redwoods, a new addition of this all-American spirit has emerged. The Jackson Stone Band has for ten years been redefining and refining the Southern Rock sounds that took America by storm more than two decades ago. Theirs is not a sound of just raw power but tales of the heart as well as tales of the American spirit! 

At the helm is David  Verno, Jr. He has been leader and the driving force of the band for the past eight years.  As a teenager he fell in love with the guitar and the Blues. By fifteen, he knew he wanted to be a musician. He had already "sat-in" with several Bay Area Blues bands and quickly saw that Center stage was where he wanted to be. David began testing the waters of Country and eventually combining his Rock, Blues, and Country abilities into his own Southern style Rock and Roll. A mountain of a man with a voice just as equal, he is truly a unique presence on stage!

Michael "Buster" Van De Ven is responsible for the super handling of the frets on his long neck bass. Buster's tall and slender appearance masks his energetic playing and singing abilities. Despite his humble demeanor, Buster has been known to rock the house with his vocals and playing to a frenzied crowd. Buster's bass fills the low end void in music, while his well-tuned vocals add to the soulful harmonies that make Southern Style Rock America's favorite sound!

Jasin Smith, life long friend of Jackson Stone Band, began drumming at nine years old. Jasin marched and performed with the Ben Ali Pipes and Drums Unit, Shriner Temple out of Sacramento, California. For ten years Jasin played in five original showcase bands in the Bay Area before joining Jackson Stone Band in 2002. Jasin makes his home in Northern California where this versatile and seasoned singer/percussionist has dedicated himself full time as drummer for the Jackson Stone Band.

Last, but not least, is Kenny Skoglund "Bones" joined Jackson Stone Band in 1991. Playing rhythm guitar, piano, and Hammond B-3 organ proves he is truly gifted! Kenny played piano for The Solano College Band while attending. He has also performed behind such acts as Tony Belson and Tina Turner and many others.
