Mike Armato - Drums

Mike began playing drums at the age of 12.  After playing in his high school marching band it was recommended that he further his abilities.  He contacted Jack Brand (Author of Percussion Express) and continued to perfect his talent under his direction.  Mike has played with a variety of club acts and touring acts throughout the Midwest and shared the stage with many musical greats such as:  Rick Neilson, Pistol Pete, Great White, April Wine & Bret Michaels.  He has also opened for Jeffrey Steele, Big & Rich, Gretchen Wilson, Kellie Pickler and more.  

Chris Puckett - Lead Guitar

Chris's life would change forever  when he heard Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption" for the first time. Begging his  parents to let him use what little savings he had, he bought a cheap Peavey  guitar and an even cheaper Peavey amp. His parents, once again, tried to make  Chris take "real" lessons and sent him off to learn from an 80 year old jazz  teacher. Chris didn't learn to play jazz, but the teacher learned how to play  "Eruption" from Chris before Chris stopped taking lessons again.....for the last  time. . He is  having the time of his life playing country for the first time.....but every now and then, you'll still hear "Eruption"......and  "Batman."

Mike Hysmith - Bass

Born and raised in Rockford, IL  Mike formed his first band at age 14.  He started playing guitar at age 13 and switched to bass after realizing that was his true talent.  His first live performance was at age 15 and he was hooked.  He has played with numerous local bands in Northern IL and Southern Wi and has finally found his true calling with Jamie Campbell and The Redneck Romeo’s.  He has been part of RAMI award winning bands such as Essie Ecks and has enjoyed every genre of music.  His early influences come from Kiss, Cheap Trick and John Cash.  Mike currently resides in Belvidere with his beautiful wife, Denise and 5 children. 

Jacob Addis - Rhythm Guitar

Growing up in a Christian household where the sounds of the piano were prominent he learned to love music at an early age.   . When he  was 14 one of my good friends dad let him borrow his expensive acoustic guitar. He  took it home and played it until my fingers were numb. Jake taught himself chords and songs all by ear. Learning to read not only sheet music, but also guitar tabs excelled him as a guitar player. He then studied with Pistol Pete to sharpen his skills more.  Jake then ventured into several local cover bands before finding his true fit with Jamie Campbell and The Redneck Romeos.
