Beth is a classically trained vocalist and flutist hailing from (most recently) New Orleans, where she learned to sing the blues. There, she sang and played flute and guitar for Bliss, a folk-rock group, and fronted Syrinx, a heavy-metal spoken word group. Before moving to New Orleans, she fronted New York indie folk-rock band Carry Nation in the late 80s, early 90s. Carry Nation released an album on Rough Trade, garnering lots of college radio play and appearing on MTV’s 120 Minutes. The band travelled the country opening for the Smithereens in the early 90s, playing to sold-out crowds in weird venues.

Don't let that mild-mannered exterior fool you...Paul Gamble can tear it up. Big!

Paul has been playing guitar since the age of 10. He began playing on the local Virginia music scene at the tender age of 13. Higher education beckoned, and Paul continued to play live music and do studio work in Virginia and Texas. However, the bright lights and big city of Albuquerque were too much for him to resist. After arriving in the Duke City, he began playing in his church band, which he still does today. He played in several local bands before bringing his blues and rock talents to Twisted Mojo in 2006. And he's never looked back. Come on out and hear Paul wail on that guitar; you'll surely hear Greg Martin, Warren Haynes, and Joe Bonamassa screamin' through his fingers.

With big dreams of free beer and casual sex with strange women, Kyle took up playing the bass at age 18. He began playing on the Rapid City, SD music scene at age 22, playing in several local bands. Due to a "misunderstanding" between himself, some cocaine addicted rodeo clowns, an outlaw motorcycle gang and the DEA, he spent much of the mid-to-late 80's moving from state to state, always one step ahead of the law. In the early 90's, after stealing the identity of dead hobo, he settled in Des Moines, IA and began playing once again in such non-noteworthy groups as The Epoch Chanticleers, and Double Ought (his first blues band). After yet another misunderstanding, this time with a local pig farmer and his under-age daughter (she swore she was 18!), he moved to New Mexico in 1995 and played in several local groups. In 2004 he formed Plat-Eye Prowl, which later became Twisted Mojo. He swears to this day that sanding off his finger prints in no way hinders his playing.

Inspired to be a musician the first time I saw the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show, I apparently must be quite ancient. I mean, who the hell knows Ed Sullivan anymore? That reminds me...I grew up just north of New York City and, when I was a kid, maybe 12 years old, I was watching Ed live one Sunday night. There was a Korean violin virtuoso performing, and I just had a random thought, "Wouldn't it be bizarre if she broke a string?" Sproing! At that very moment, one of her strings did, indeed, snap right there, live, on the air. And it was bizarre, don't you think?

Jack Bartberger, the oldest member of Twisted-Mojo, has several decades of harmonica experience, and is a former professional kazoo and triangle player. He loves the blues and is a self taught harp player. Jack has been greatly influenced by some of the really great contemporary harp players such as Charlie Musselwhite, Rick Estrin, James Cotton, Gary Primich, Mark Hummel, and many of the true masters that are long gone.....just to name a few. He is married, retired, living the good life, and having the good fortune to play in a blues and rock 'n roll band with really great musicians and a talented singer.
