The
Lookouts Band
Refreshingly
Original Rock Band.
Fun,
upbeat, and sometimes hilariously funny describes our music. We are
do-it-yourself people who feel as though Originality is the most
important aspect of songwriting.
Shannon and Joey have been staffing Fire Lookout Towers and fighting fires in the Oregon cascades since 1997. We have been to hundreds of Lookouts and Lookout sites in the U.S. and Australia. In 2000 we literally had three consecutive summers, when we worked with fire crews in western Australia around many Towers. We have been members of the Forest Fire Lookout Association since 1997.

Joey
has been playing Guitar in bands off and on since high school. Never
one to be "normal" he started writing campfire acoustic
type songs to make people laugh. Always looking for a reliable bass
player, Shannon started playing and joined the band a number of years
ago. As a three piece, the bass is even more important, and Shannon
does an excellent job!
Shannon
grew up listening to The Ventures and Elton John. She enjoys a range
of music from Jack Johnson to AC/DC.

Sill
in need of a full time drummer. We were fortunate enough to find Ross
Chambers through his drum teacher January of 2014. Ross Started
taking lessons and playing about a year and a half ago. He was always
attracted to the drums. He loves the technical wizardry of Neil
Peart. He says “ If its got a fast rockin beat, I'm sure I'll love
it! “ Ross is a commercial pilot and has been flying for the
airlines since 1995. His father was a pilot and his older brother is
a pilot as well.
We
are excited About our 3rd CD "HWY 97" released in May 2014.
Our band also has been playing a benefit gig for the Wild land fire
fighter foundation "Rip-n-lips bass tournament." each
summer since 2012. In February of 2014 we took first place for our song " L. A. Pine " in the COSA / Central Oregon song writers association. Song of the month completion.
