Shannon Rae-Lead vocals
Shannon Rae is a southern California native raised on the Eagles, Tom Petty and of course… Linda Ronstadt. As a matter fact the first album she purchased with her own money was Linda Ronstadt‘s greatest hits, and she about wore that record out!
Shannon is an accomplished original artist and songwriter and has released three albums, her self titled, her sophomore album Lucky 13 and the aptly titled #3. She toured with her band, Shannon Rae and 100 Proof, for 5 years and has shared the stage with many modern country rockers including, A Thousand Horses, Eli Young Band and Runaway June as well as country rock icons Wynonna Judd, The Marshall Tucker Band and even the legendary Roy Clark!
In every performance, Shannon passionately pours her heart and soul into the music of this legendary artist that has inspired not only her, but so many female artists. When asked what is the best part of performing with Ronstadt Revival she says, hearing all of you Ronstadt fans sing along at the top of your lungs!

Jeff Hale-Bass/vocals
Jeff is an east coast boy who moved to Los Angeles in the 1980s to live the dream of working as a full time musician. Decades later, he is still working in the music business as a recording engineer and producer, song writer and performer, working with various bands and artists all over California. Jeff is accomplished on both electric and bass guitar and has a strong voice able to handle lead vocals and harmonies across a nearly 3 octave range. Linda Ronstadt has been one of Jeff’s favorite female artists since the mid-70s and it is rumored that he still has almost all of her record albums on vinyl. Unfortunately, Jeff never got the chance to work directly with Linda, but Ronstadt Revival is definitely the next best thing!
Rich Sanders-Keys/vocals
Rich Sanders has played keyboards for over 30 years in bands ranging from rock, R&B, funk, fusion, jazz and country. He has also worked as a studio musician on numerous recording projects. Rich started his musical journey as a concert trumpet soloist who also played the contrabass (Upright Bass). This led to a brief stint as a rock bass guitarist and ultimately to keys. Years ago, he asked his bands to help him haul a Hammond B3 with Leslie, Fender Rhodes Piano and Moog and Arp Synths. Thankfully, now all of these sounds are in a couple of lightweight keyboards. Rich's love of Linda Ronstadt brought him to this project.
