| The Byron James Gang... History |
The Byron James Gang Band was formed in 1993 as a
tribute to Byron James (Jim) Conant. Jim was tragically
killed in an accident at Peony Park (Omaha, NE) in 1988.
The Byron James Gang started as a jam session in what is
now known as Red Barn Productions in Missouri Valley,
IA. The band consisted of Jerry (Skeeter) Gibson, Dan
Conant, Dennis Collier, and Terry Conant. Dan and Terry
were Jim's brothers. Skeeter and Jim were classmates. This
is how the Byron James Gang got it's name and it's start.
As time passed Dan lost interest and left the band. Mike
Bishop soon joined the band and all was good for a few
years. Throughout this time, many singers came and went,
until Kevern Grant joined.
About five years ago, Dennis and Mike parted ways
with the Byron James Gang and started the Velvet Expose.
At this time, Travis Conant and Roger Gibson joined the
band. This rounded out the band until last year when,
because of a busy life and job, Skeeter had to take a break.
At this time, Joe Schaecher joined the band.
Today the band is...Travis Conant (aka. T-Bone) on
drums and vocals, Roger Gibson on lead/rhythm guitar and
vocals, Joe Schaecher on lead guitar and vocals, Kevern
Grant as lead vocalist, and Terry Conant on bass guitar
and vocals.
