"In the music business, music is its own reward." Cliché and often repeated, maybe, but a phrase held in high regard with all the members of Temecula based, current country rock cover band known as 'The Ranch Rockers'.

Spearheaded in 1998 by founding member and former guitarist Mike Lucero the band has weathered a multitude of changes. Opportunity has created adjustments and everyday living has forced choices but the music is and has remained the focus.

The Ranch Rockers bring entertainment like no other to country music and classic rock lovers across many style and age lines. They combine male and female lead vocals with superior three part harmonies and musicianship. This arrangement allows them to cover a wider variety of tunes with their own signature sound while achieving the familiarity of a song that audiences overwhelmingly respond to. Whether dancing or just watching, crowds enjoy the full stage act of a band whose members love what they're doing and do what it takes to entertain you.

Our instrumental line up begins with Tom Wiker on drums whose rhythmic syncopation keeps things solid as a rock, yet relentlessly percolating. Covering lead guitar, Craig Fenton takes his inspiration from over 35 years of listening to rock and roll icons and developing a cohesive blend of genres that make the ballads cool,  the country hot and the rock...well, ROCK! Bridging this pulse is Jamie Moyer on bass whose seamless, meticulous grooves are sure to set your feet in motion as well as his infectious stage presence and impeccable timing. Rounding out the signature sound is Miff Laracy whose extensive musical journey spans not just instruments and projects but decades and continents. His versatility takes the band to the next level musically and professionally speaking. The band’s crowning jewels, clearly two of Southern California’s finest, sharing the lead vocal duties are Gwyn Sanborn and Sandi Capel. Their voices blend and complement one another with a quality rarely achievable beyond close family members. Their powerful, yet smooth and passionate deliveries make for a superb contrast to their on stage wit and antics, destined to penetrate and tickle the thickest of skins.

With this enthusiastic line up, the Ranch Rockers perform year-round for established entertainment venues such as EPIC Entertainment and KFRG 92.9FM as well as local community events like The City of Temecula Summer Concert Series and Monteleone Meadows. The group is also proud and excited to be named the house band for the new stage spectacular, 'Temecula Live!', a country music review in the tradition of the Grand Ole Opry at The Old Town Temecula Community Theater.

Along with a passion to further nurture their musical development and growth, the band embraces a simple creed. Continue to gig and cultivate the local country music venues, as well as broaden their performance radius into more diverse surrounding markets, all the while delivering the very best in popular country music. Judging by their tracks, they’re headed in the right direction. Happy trails!
