Steve Annan, Lead Guitar

Born in England and with his formative years in Canada, Steve Annan was exposed to all sorts of ethnic and popular music. Embarking on a career in music after high school, he left for a 2 year tour of Europe playing with several blues bands and learning the ways of the road. Returning to Canada, he made the rounds with some of Canada's elite blues and rock n roll legends - Matt Minglewood (for which Steve received a Gold Record) and the Downchild Blues Band to name a couple. He was also part of a house band that backed up James Cotton, Buddy Miles, Long John Baldry ,Luther Allison, and more.

 

After graduating from Recording Engineering School, he worked as an engineer in various Canadian studios and on the road with many bands including Genesis, Rush, Gentle Giant, Chris De Burgh, Tina Turner, Police, Ella Fitzgerald, Corey Hart, and Bryan Adams.

 

Then for something completely different, Steve got a job working at the Space Ranch – NASA’s famous Jet Propulsion Laboratories. Steve rides the console tracking satellites for The European Space Agency, all the while keeping his fingers limber by playing with local blues acts - Charlie Chan, Coco Montoya, Laurie Melan, Shinbone Dukes, Chris Bell, and guys who have played with everybody else. So the bottom line is, he has played, can play and will keep playing forever and ever, Amen.

 

Steve was with Deep Pocket for several months in 2004.

Byron Yetter, Bass Guitar and Vocals 
Deep Pocket's bassist, Byron Yetter, is the band's resident "rocket scientist." By day, he works at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. When he is not playing bass guitar and holding down a wickedly fat bottom end, Byron manages telecommunications services for several deep space satellite missions at JPL. Byron spends many of his working hours supporting JPL's robotic solar system explorers like Voyager, Ulysses, and the Mars Exploration Rovers. Byron grew up and went to school in Northern California and was hooked on music and playing in a band by the time he reached the third grade. Over the years Byron has played in several different bands; Blues, Jazz, Garage, and Jam bands to name a few. "It's all about the laughter and the fun of having a good time, there's nothing more rewarding than seeing smiling faces having a good time and enjoying what you are playing. Or having a crowd of people yelling for one more song at closing time." Byron was with Deep Pocket from August of 1999 through May of 2005

 

 


James Leveau, Lead Vocals

James Leveau Johnson sang for the band from mid-2005 to June 2006.
