Who Are The Rhythmatones?

Four guys who love to play and make music. It's just that simple.

Ed Gillespie

Bass Guitar

Ed has more than 25 years of musical experience on four- and five-string electric basses. He has toured and performed throughout North America and seventeen countries. While his first love in music is jazz, he is also experienced in other genres including rock, blues, Latin, and country.

Greg Perkins

Guitar

Greg has been playing guitar since the age of thirteen. From age 14, playing rock, pop, R & B, blues and funk, he performed with various groups in the western United States and Hawaii. Since the age of 24, playing jazz has been his passion and small ensembles is his favorite setting. Greg is also an accomplished solo jazz guitarist, teaches guitar privately and strongly supports music education.

Mark Wheeler

Saxophone

Music has always been a part of Mark's life. He played saxophone through elementary and high school, then studied as a classical saxophonist. It wasn't until his later years of college that jazz, R & B, pop and blues began to take hold. Since then, he has played in countries ranging from Ireland to Cuba to China and many others in between. Mark has recorded, produced and arranged for orchestra and studio projects, but is happiest inside a small combo on the backside of a deep groove.
