The Mojo Doyle band was
designed to be a festival band centering around Mojo
Doyle, an amazing female vocalist. Mojo currently
residing in Adrian, Michigan, has been consistently
winning singing competitions throughout the midwest for
most of her adult life. She grew up in Los Angels,
California.
Mojo has performed for countless audiences including
churches and a wide range of public shows. She has a
driving vocal energy and stage presence that has set the
bar high for other singers in the area. She has a well
deserved reputation for being committed to the highest
level of performing, consequently the best musicians
seek to join her.
She has been blessed with an incredible vocal quality
allowing her to sing a wide genre of songs ranging from
Christian and Calypso to Country and Classic Rock and
Roll. Her passion and ability to sing such a broad range
of songs at the top level is truly a gift she enjoys
sharing .
The band currently has one of
their original songs "Bad Luck Sometimes" playing on the
local country radio station and they play covers from
new country from artists like Carrie Underwood &
Gretchen Wilson to classic rock and roll from artists
like Heart to Led Zeppelin. They employ a high
energy on the stage and you can't help but keep your
feet tapping to the music. The band has won the
battle of the bands competition in Wauseon in 2011 over
11 other bands and took second in the Texaco Country
Showdown in 2011.
The band holds a closeness with
Morenci because Robb Rosebrook the rhythm guitar/second
keyboard player grew up and graduated from Morenci and
got his start playing in bands here all over the area
back in the 70's. Robb has lived in Stryker, Ohio
now for decades and has owned the Riverside Greens golf
course there for more years than he would admit. Robb
looks forward to returning to his home town and giving
Morenci the show of a life time.
Other band members are lead
guitarist Gary St. John from Stryker, Ohio. Bob
Weber from Wauseon, Ohio is their amazing drummer.
Jason Southwell from Hudson, Michigan is first
keyboardist and back up vocals. Bowen Schultz from
Defiance, Ohio rounds out the group with his stellar
bass playing and lead and back up vocals. Some
times you will see the young son of Mojo, Tre' Doyle hop
on stage and start playing his fiddle to several of the
country songs.

back.”

band named Sour Slam—They will be the headlining band
for Friday night from 8-10 p.m..
The band formed a couple years ago when Rick returned
from Florida. He played in bands while he was in the

played together in northwest Ohio during his absence.
Rick plays drums with the band and Randy takes rhythm
and lead guitar. Another Fayette resident, Matt Carnicom,
is the group’s vocalist. Dave Perez of Stryker handles
the bass and Dan from Archbold has the lead guitar.
The classic rock band has plays most every weekend in
