Rodney’s been “Johnny Earthquake” for nearly twenty years now, ever since he got a few friends together to play some parties, and Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs was formed. Since then, nearly 60 musicians have been regular members at one time or the other, but Rodney (C-Rod) is the only remaining original member.

Rodney was raised in a home where Elvis, Johnny Cash, Sam Cooke, and Ray Charles records were always on the turntable and in ’64 he got caught up in Beatlemania. He sang in church and school talent shows and performed with groups throughout high school and college. He says he received his musical education from “Honky Tonk University”.

After being out of music for several years, in the late eighties he and some friends formed the group “Dick Dante’ and the Infernos” which had quite a successful run.

After The Infernos disbanded, some of the members split off and joined with some friends to form “Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs”. The rest, as they say, is history. The Moondogs have progressed to be one of the south’s top showbands, garnering many awards, releasing critically acclaimed CD’s, and playing with countless musical luminaries.

Over the years, Rodney has checked several items off his bucket list by getting to perform with  The Beach Boys, The Doobie Brothers, Percy Sledge, James Burton (on many occasions), Rick Derringer, Mitch Ryder, Trombone Shorty, Badfinger, Wayne Toups, and many, many others.

Rodney hosts “Jammin’ With Johnny–The Johnny Earthquake Show”, a popular sydicated radio show that is rated the #1 show in it’s time slot and serves on the Board of Directors for the Natchitoches Jazz/R&B Festival and The James Burton Foundation, which provides free guitars for school children and hospital patients.

His “day job” as he likes to call it, is as a practicing attorney in Natchitoches. He’s been married to Jan for over 30 years and they have four children.

Chuck’s musical background is best described as “jack of all trades”. It started with Menard High School and two years in the LSU Golden Band from Tigerland. (And yes, he’s old enough that he once had to wait for Bear Bryant to get out of his way at halftime.)

Concert music with the Louisiana College Symphonic Band, Praise Band / Christian Rock at a Baptist church in Alexandria, orchestra work for more than a dozen musicals, a little brass quintet work, and more church services, weddings and Christmas concerts than he can remember.

Kelli realized she could sing when she was twelve years old after singing with her cousin in church. She comes from a family full of musical talent. Some of her best childhood memories stem from gathering around the kitchen table, harmonizing with her brothers. As a member of the high school choir in her home town of Anacoco, Louisiana, Kelli gained the confidence to pursue music further in college at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches. In 1993, as a college student, Kelli joined her first band, “Doyle Primm and the Primm Roses.” She now has three children—Meredith and twins, Seth and Faith. In 2000 Kelli began singing in church again with an all-female Christian vocal group, “Extravagant Grace.” After this band disjoined in 2005, Kelli was asked to become a member of “Johnny Earthquake and the Moondogs” and now reigns as one of the lead vocalists of the band. A high school French and English teacher by day, Kelli looks forward to the Moondogs gigs, where she enjoys making sweet harmonies with her friends. Kelli is married to The Moondogs’ bass player, Mark Roberts.
