CITY OF ORIGIN: Riverside, California MEMBERS AND INSTRUMENTS: Jay Gordon (lead guitar, vocals); Sharon Butcher (bass guitar, vocals); Mike Elliott (drums). Most musical relationships are formed on foundations of similar influences or common acquaintances. But Jay Gordon’s backing band was initially founded on the basis of something entirely different: Volume. Had Gordon played with his amp cranked to “10” from the get-go, he might not be backed by bassist/vocalist Sharon Butcher today.
