John "Evil John" Wilson:

Community Theatre: Starred as the King in the King & I, Captain Von Trapp in the Sound of Music, Judd Fry in Oklahoma Musical Experience: Took one bass guitar lesson a long time ago, Four years of a cappella choir in high school (We did not win any ribbons in competition), I been whackin' on this darned 6 string gitfiddle for thirty years without learning more than 4 chords.

Sound guy for Sideshow Band for near on 2 years.

Currently 17, and am from Big Rock. I have been playing guitar (electric, acoustic, bass, lap steel) for 7 years now. Music is more than a hobby to me, and more than a passion even. It's a way for me to make people happy, a way to relieve all stress and worries, and a pathway for me to give back to God (I'm Christian as well, and it's ironic I'm in a band well-named 'the demons'). I love what I do.

I was fortunate to be asked by Evil John to join his crew, and without hesitation I replied quickly with a yes. I'm truly digging the music he chooses, and so's our audience; apparent if you visit one of our shows! This music is a type I wouldn't have explored as much if I had never become one of the Demons... It varies from country (old country as in Johnny Cash etc.) to folk, to classic 60's rock. This kind of music has taught and is teaching me patience while playing. It has shown me slower -and sweeter- pentatonics, and I really like it.

Again, I'm Jake; a Demon.

Started playing drums at the tender age of 8 and joined first Beatle band in grade school.

Favorite drummers:

Ken Harck (Off Broadway)

Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa)

Matt Sorum (The Cult)

Ringo Starr (Beatles)

Gear:  Yamaha 4-piece Oak Custom Kit w/Zildjian cymbals

Favorite Rides:  1967 GTO and my Tennessee walking horse

Quote:  "I've waited all my life to be a demon!"

Ray Conley

Been working on and off on this "Demons" thing with Evil John for a while.  Lead guitar player for Sideshow for the past three years, now working on re-learning the keyboard - played a Vox Continental organ in bands over 30 years ago (still have the beast).  Kind of surprised that with the guitar talent of Jake and Steve in the Demons that they still let me strap mine on for a song or two!
