Born and raised in Charleston, Illinois. Stacy's father and mother were both musicians and toured in the 40's and 50's for USO tours. His father was a guitarist and a lap steel guitar player. His mother sang, so he was always around music at a very early age. His mother told him that he was not one to go outside and play; but rather listen to his father give guitar lessons, or watch rehearsals that his father and bandmates used to have in his kitchen. When he was 11, his father went to Samuels in Mattoon and bought him his first guitar...a Hagstrom. Since then, he began playing Mandolin and Native American Flute. He started his first band when he was 15 and hasnt stopped since. His past affilations has been with a very short stint with a very famous National band in 1970, and much longer with the bands WhiskeyJack, Sawyer Brothers, and many others over the years. He also toured all over the U.S.A with the Nancy Hays Show as well as having one song recorded and made a hit by Glen Campbell in the mid 80's. He also was offered a recording contract with RCA and AMI during the mid-1980's and had airplay in European nations with a song that he had written. He had the priviledge to open for many artists such as Ronnie Millsap, Conway Twitty, Dan Seals, Bellamy Brothers, Roy Clark, just to name a few.

Randal was born a poor black child in Paris, Illinois. At least, that is what he says. Actually, Randal (or as we call him by his stage name..Ivory Joe), has a vast and impressive resume himself. He has played with some of the very best bands in the area and has played with famous artists who are NOT from this area. He is a musical workhorse, and workaholic. His savvy and sense of musical direction is upper crust and 100% reliable. One of the founding members of PHB, he is considered the consumate professional and a consumate nice guy.

  


Born October 31st, 1959, during the biggest blizzard in Iowa history, Jeff McRoberts came into the world ROCKIN'! Son of a classically educated musical family, Jeff has been trained and is well acquainted with a variety of instruments including violin, piano, trumpet, classical guitar, and the bass. He was influenced early by the sounds of the Beatles, Monkees, Peter Paul & Mary, Stan Kenton, and Resphiggi! His early education included band, chorus, Jazz band, Swing choir, Concert Band and many musical's. After graduating college with a double major in Art's including a teaching degree, Jeff joined the Edwin Watts band and toured the South to polish his entertaining skills. Jeff was a musical director and a featured singer in the band. The 50's set included costume's, skits and medley's that he created. Upon returning home, he started up his own band, SKEEZIX, to feature his original music. After some member turnover's, and stints in other bands, in 1989 he co-started one of the most popular bands in East Central Illinois; CATCH 22. Jeff's strong vocal and musical ability helped CATCH 22 become one of the best drawing band in the area from '89-95. They centered on variety playing country, classic rock and top 40 with the only prerequisite being "danceable"! In 1993, Jeff began recording his original music in earnest. Jeff's music received airplay in various college radio stations and is still receiving acclaim from radio stations as far away as California. From 93-96, Jeff continued concentrating on his original music, and continued playing live locally until He joined the Wanderer’s with Doug Lundquist. From there, Doug & Jeff decided to form their own band. The Remainders became active with the addition of Jill Dixon on Keys and played country and classic rock until 2005. Jeff's strong vocal ability and funky bass playing has been his trademark in East Central Illinois for over 30 years.
