John Bennett Perry’s singing career began with the Moonshiners and the Serendipity Singers in the 60’s, but after he was spotted by a New York theatrical agent on the Ed Sullivan Show, his focus shifted to acting. He performed both on and off Broadway before heading west (a cowboy at heart, even then) to make his mark on TV and movies.

Over the course of his career, he starred in the series 240-Robert, Paper Dolls and Everyday. Of his many movies, his favorite is Fools Rush In where he acted alongside his son Matthew. He is kidded most about his role as the Old Spice Man.

DeWayne Boccali performed with the folk group The Countrymen in the 60’s and 70’s, and his love of musical theatre led to him “tread the boards” in many productions in the Ventura and Santa Barbara area. He includes as highlights his roles in The Most Happy Fella (as Tony) and in The Unsinkable Molly Brown (as Johnny Brown).
He has also performed as a soloist with the Ventura County Symphony. When he's not singing, he's delighting diners at Boccali's Pizza & Pasta.

DeWayne was the mastermind behind the formation of the “Boys”, and his original song “You Can Count On Me” is a mainstay for the group, but despite these
qualifications and his strong baritone, his main role
is often to be picked on by John & Bob.

Bob Jones is the lead guitar player and musical “honcho” of the group. He brings a strong blues influence to the group that pushes them beyond simple cowboy tunes. Bob is a well known blues guitarist along the coast, performing regularly at Boulevard Music, Zoey’s and other venues in Southern California. He has produced two popular CDs and has been instrumental in producing the upcoming Ojai Valley Boys Live CD debut.

The Boys perform several of Bob’s original songs: Love at Last, All These Blues and The Way Things Used To Be, among others. Traditional blues renditions will never be lost as long as Bob plays them, but he does take heat from the other “Boys” for being as serious as his music.
