Gene
Drums and Lead vocals
At the age of 14 years old, Gene Morris started his musical career by playing drums for his father's band, the famous Gene Morris Trio. Gene's father played with the Lionel Hampton Band in the late '40s. He also played in the inauguration of President Truman, and was the first black man on the Down Beat Magazine for being the best tenor saxophone player in 1949.
Gene Jr., as he is referred to, later joined Gene Williams and Fresh-playing engagements at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and other various hotels and clubs. He then joined the famous Buck Ram Platters on a cross country tour. He performed at the Executive Inn in Buffalo, the Newport Beach Hotel in Miami, the Hyatt Regency in Chicago, and the Maxim in Las Vegas.
After the tour, Gene returned home to Sacramento and put together an explosive band called Morris Code. Morris Code played in Sacramento for the Wolfman Jack Productions.
Currently, Gene has returned to the music scene. He has produced his new CD, Lexxus Lover, in which he has written the lyrics and musical arrangements. He has recently played with J. J. Jackson and Bobby Taylor
He has assembled a most impressive group of musicians for the band, the Gene Morris Group, who deliver insistent rhythms with varied percussive textures, and chanting vocals resulting in an exciting presentation.
Arnold
Lead Guitar and vocals
"Its all about the music", states Arnold "Rhythm and Blues" Mejia, one of Fresno's leading guitarists. His long-standing love affair with this art form began when he was in the sixth grade in Malaga Elementary school's marching band.
He has learned to play all styles, but his pleasure is the rhythm and blues style his oldest brother introduced him to. His playing ability made him one of the leaders in Fresno's Latin Rock Movement in the '70's and '80's.
Arnold Mejia has always played in bands that were in demand. He remains highly respected in the field by other musicians.
Ron

Ron Austin began playing guitar at 9 years old. He started playing guitar when he moved from Pennsylvania to Southern California. In 1976, Ron played at the Marvin Gay Motown Studio in Hollywood.
