Jesus Angel Mora (Lead Vocals, Guitar, Harmonica)
Eli Mora (Guitar, Vocals)
| Eli Mora's musical training goes back to elementary school, where he began playing Saxophone under direction from Edward Rowina. On into High School, Eli played with the school band and jazz band and earned a number of awards and scholarships for his musical talent. During the Jazz band days, he played with a number of local musicians. As a junior in high school, Eli's tasteful sax playing earned him a spot on his first R & B group, Lighting Hawkins. As part of this group, he played for the local colleges and clubs for a number of years. During the mid-seventies, Lighting Hawkins opened for Malo and War. While at college, Eli hooked up with another band to play for a variety of local parties and college dances. Eli's and Angel's father was an excellent classical folk musician. This drove Eli to begin playing Guitar during his college days, as he wanted to switch from Sax to Guitar. Eli has been playing guitar, with his brother Angel, for the last fifteen years and has played at venues in San Francisco and Southern California. Eli's musical taste is influenced by the Beatles and The Who, as well as other groups of the seventies like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and the Stones. |

Angel has always enjoyed the power of music. He believes the way music can stimulate memories,
emotions and feelings, as well as touch the hearts of young and the old is very magical.
While attending elementary school, he enrolled in their music program and started playing the trumpet.
He continued playing through his Junior High and High school years, and became a member of the
school's dance and jazz band. It was during these years that he taught himself how to play guitar and
harmonica.
Awhile back, Angel started hearing music while he was sleeping. At first he would hear the music mostly
in the background of his dreams, but as time progressed the music would become so detailed that he
would hear every instrument. He would wake up half asleep humming and singing the song that he was
dreaming until he was able to replicate the song. He would like to share these songs that he has
captured and written via his dreams.
Hence the creation of "JAM"
