A Juke since 1998, Chris plays trumpet, flugelhorn and arranges horn parts. He stands in the middle of the horn section and wonders why John and Neal are moving in different directions. He is married to the incredible Julia Rodriguez and he has 2 great offspring, Elena and Marcos. Fun Fact: Chris founded New York Horns in 1997 with fellow Juke John Isley—and their 1st EP generated 350,000 downloads in 1999-2000. Their current CD features many of your favorite Jukes.

JOHN ISLEY - SAX
John is the saxophonist, multi-woodwind player, and general tech geek. He's the guy everybody brings their iPhone to, to figure out what's wrong with it... Married to Lisa, they share their all-too-damn-small New York City apartment with their two kitties, Oreo and Yoda. When not touring the world, John spends his spare time trying to build a better mousetrap for his EWI (electronic wind synth - see, GEEK!), and searching for little white balls in the woods, next to golf courses.

Jeff is the band's Musical Director, and plays the Hammond B3 organ & piano. As Johnny's songwriting partner and co-producer, he's proven to not be afraid of confrontation. Jeff is married to Constance and has two daughters, Vassileia & Sophia. He's a Cincinnati Reds, Bengals, New York Knicks, Rangers and Ohio State Buckeyes fan. He enjoys golf and hopes to break 80 once again soon.
Neal Pawley - Photo by Phyllis McQuillanh
Trombonist Neal's musical mottos are "confidence and simplicity" and "only a real man can wear clogs and still get laid". Proud to be an American. Proud to be a Juke. Recommends the Honda CRV—batteries, brakes and tires are all you need. His daily routine includes scooping cat sh*t and raising a young American. God bless.
