As a young girl growing up in Minnesota, Jody began singing for family events and was later encouraged by a special high school teacher to develop her voice further which resulted in numerous vocal awards. Over the years she participated in various choral groups in Minnesota and both the Phoenix, AZ and Denver, CO areas and has performed as a soloist for many weddings and other events. Jody and her husband, Paul, met Jeff in the 90’s and they all occasionally played together for backyard BBQ’s, church events and other charity events. Her lifelong dream of being part of a band was realized in 2006 when Jeff approached her with an opportunity to join a country band that was starting up. Paul continues to sing select songs with the band when possible.

Although she has always been partial to rock and pop music, Jody found that country music was really what she was meant to sing and has had a lot of fun doing it. Her inspiration comes from country performers like Martina McBride, Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill and Patsy Cline.

Growing up in Lincoln, Nebraska, Jeff was exposed to a lot of music, mostly country, bluegrass and square dance music on a regular basis as his Dad, Harry, was a locally well-known, multi-talented performing musician both competing and judging contents.

Through his Navy years in San Diego Jeff got married and played guitar every chance he got, mostly Country Crooners with his friend and mentor Chief Torpedoman, Bill Hutchison. After 5 years in Seattle, 2 kids and a move to Denver, Jeff was introduced to a style of guitar he hadn't heard yet by new friend and mentor, Curtis Turner. This new style was Flat Picking and Jeff competed 3 consecutive years (04-06) in the National Flatpick Championship held in Winfield, KS. When not playing out with Canyon Station he can often be found pickin' that bluegrass stuff with Bluegrass Xpression (BGX).

His major musical influences besides family are Merle Haggard, Steve Kaufmann, John Cowan, Dan Crary, Tim O'Brien, Charles Sawtelle, LeeRoy Parnell, Randy Travis and the Eagles.

Residing in Centennial, CO, Jeff is married to Karen (Webster) Schaeffer and they have 2 young adults, who have each begun on their own musical paths, Ray on bass and Sarah on strings, viola and violin.

Curtis started playing guitar around the age of 10 and played in bands during his high school years. During college he played here and there with friends, but for some reason put it away for 15 years. Curtis always enjoyed bluegrass/new grass and country music since the early 70's, even doing a bluegrass show on a college radio station in Emporia, Kansas. Curtis and Jeff met in the 90's and got back to playing guitar again mainly at backyard BBQ's, festivals and local bluegrass jams. Bluegrass music inspired him to pick up and learn the mandolin 3-4 years ago. Curtis says, "Just having a chance to play in a band with these great musicians and vocalists has been a wonderful experience for me. It really is a good feeling knowing you can be part of creating some music everyone can enjoy."

Kenny began playing bass at age 10, taking lessons from various musicians and forming his first band at age 13. By age 16 he was jamming with a hard rock band, playing primarily at school dances. The band eventually got off the ground and was being booked by three agents and even had a manager. After that ended, Kenny played with several more rock bands, but soon wanted to experience something different in the music world. At 26 Kenny joined a 50's band and enjoyed that for the next 2 years. From there Kenny made his way to country. Over the years, he played in several country bands, even making several professional recordings. Through his days playing country and bluesgrass, Kenney met up with Jeff and Tom and decided to continue the country dream.

Canyon Station is a far cry from Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kiss, and Aerosmith that Tom was playing in high school. He's been playing in part-time bands as long as he can remember, from high school and junior high school dances in Grand Junction and Fruita, CO, to a few years with the Denver based Crazed Hipsters blues band in the late 80's. He took a few years off to race stock cars, then a few more to raise a couple of great kids with his wife, Kelli. He got back into the blues-rock scene with some friends and neighbors (The Neighborhood Band), and then finally pursued a life-long desire to pick up the banjo. In the course of the last couple of years, it has become his primary instrument, and he's had the opportunity to play with some bluegrass with Jeff and Kenny in Last Resort and Blue Mountain Bluegrass, as well as meeting up with Curtis and Allen at Swallow Hill and other area bluegrass jams. He's also gotten into the Celtic music scene and brings something a little different to traditional Celtic music with his 5-string. He stays real busy with a job in Corporate America, coaching baseball, football, and basketball, and Celtic festivals throughout the area.
