An Homage in Action

The Tumbling Dice feel lucky to have discovered the Rolling Stones from original vinyls, poring over their cover art while the needle dropped. They also value how wide ranging the Stones’ music has proven to be, incorporating Blues, Country, Psychedelia, ballads, Punk, Reggae, Disco, and Gospel, let alone RnB, Funk, Soul, and traditional R&R! Evidently, they've been in a love affair with the full sweep of American music and just cannot resist playing with every bit of it.

Likewise, the Dice exhibit the same breadth of musical appreciation & vocabulary, talent, showmanship, and energy on stage! It’s been a blessing to see the Stones at play, to absorb their artful perspective, and to pay particular tribute to their live performances.

Rock on, Stones; Roll on, Dice!

The Tumbling Dice

Marcus Moreno

Lead Vocal, Spirit Guide, Rockstar
“His Majesty (our Brenda)” has led bands for 17 years of his past 37, writing & performing guitar rock. He delights in Jagger’s cajoling jive, fronting the Stones’ talent for echoing the brutal honesty of American, working-class, dance & soul music. True to form, he bellows & swaggers with the same mischief & unselfconscious bravado as his muse.
🐓
Dante Rojas

Bass, Human Sequencer
Born & raised in Oakland on his dad's Rock LPs, our “Quiet One” picked up the guitar, by age 14, upon hearing Nirvana. Since 2003, he’s honed his bass craft with notable, local Punk bands Overdrive AD, the Scrawnies, and the Rinds. For the Tumbling Dice, he faithfully holds forth with the “Y-Man’s” famously beat-forward, rolling thunder.

Josh C. Jones

Drums & Percussion
An aficionado of '60s & '70s R&B, Soul, Psychedelia, and Rock’n’Roll, our “Charlie” has been a natural on drums for 30+ years since battering skins at school. A versatile player, he slams with Dante in Marcus' Punk band, the Rinds, whenever he isn't swinging a hard groove for the Dice, mining Watts’ “hard diamond beat” & subtly punchy swing.
💎
Aaron Schiller

Rhythm & Lead Guitar
Raised in a musical family, our “Keef” has been mastering bass for 31 years. After 7 on standard guitar too, discovering the joys of coaxing magic from an open G tuned, 5-string Telecaster instigated his love affair with Richards & crew's Rhythm Rock since 2014. He artfully conveys Keith's yearning solos & remarkable sense of the groove.
🎸
Ranzo Taylor

Keyboard, Backing Vocal
Classically trained for 7 years before bitten by Boogie Woogie records, our “6th Stone” belts out lower backups while sweeping or hammering the “stony” keys to elicit soulful organ strains or drive home the rolling beat like every backing Stones keyboardist from Stu, “Edward,” Preston, McLagan, & Leavell to Clifford, Tench, Elton, & Wonder.
🎹
Christy Mulhèrin

Sax, Under Assistant West Coast Promo
While informed by 52 years of rocking successive British Waves and nearly every form of roots music & American recording genre, the Stones had an early, formative impact upon our “Bobby.” Having come full circle, he urgently impels the beat forward with hallmark wails & hotspur rhythms, all while reinforcing the fervent harmonies.
🎷
Dré "Son7" King

Co-Vocal, Harmony, Peace & Love
Our “Fischer/Fowler” chanteur shepherds the magical transformation of your soul whenever & wherever he dons his high-tone threads and trades or blends high-end vocals together with Marcus & Ranzo like musical incantations, channeling Lisa & Bernard with signature finesse and outrageous, sartorial panache.
🌹
Christian Thompson

Lead & Rhythm Guitar
Our “Little Mick” has performed & recorded professionally for 40 years, backing many major & charting artists worldwide since graduating from Berklee College of Music. For him, the Stones are foundational to most rock guitar playing & songwriting, as he affectionately displays with his own sweet pass at Woody’s & Taylor's guitar sorcery.
🎸
Yon Lerner

Sound Man Extraordinaire
Awed by witnessing Mick Jagger captivate 100,000 at Coachella (with the band simply grooving & rock'n'rolling like second nature without a care), our “Wizard” at the board can be trusted to dial in the sonic bliss for each of us. Audiences are meanwhile gratified by his persistent knack for keeping each song well balanced & scintillating.
