Danny Orejuela
Instruments: Guitar, Vocals
Dan has been a passionate music lover since a very young age. Influenced by a musical mother and father and multiple musical genres (especially pop on AM radio and 45’s on the phonograph in the late 60’s). Later, at the age of fifteen after hearing the Outlaws Green Grass and High Tides Dan made crucial decision to learn to play lead electric guitar. Being left-handed made it difficult for Dan to find decent left-handed guitars, so Dan forced himself to learn to play right-handed (the same as Joe Perry of Aerosmith). Dan has continued to play and sing in various bands over the years mainly in the classic rock category. In 2000 Dan released a CD of all original pop rock music with the band Ian Travis. Currently Dan is working to provide a one two punch to the Smokehouse guitar soundscape backing Dana Thalmann. Dan strongly believes in the power of music and will continue to play as long as possible!
Chris Harte
Instruments: Bass, Vocals
Chris plays bass and sings backup vocals. Chris has played with many bands holding the bottom down. As a key player for Smokhouse Chris brings to the table a solid bass and sweet backup vocals.
Steve Pape
Instruments: Harmonica, Guitar, Ukulele, Percussion, Vocals
A SmokeHouse Band member since it's formation in November of 2017, Steve grew up In Cupertino, CA. Music has always been a part of his family, his friendships, and his life. He picked up his first instrument, a harmonica, at the age of 4 when his Father left one unattended. It wasn't long before he had his own Harmonica. Steve, his father and Grandfather played musical instruments. A telephone line repairman, his Grandfather could play a piano like Liberace, but never had a lesson! So its only natural that he would be a part of SmokeHouse because we are like a Band-Family, and the high energy and "chemistry" that this Band has with each other can be seen, felt, and heard in live performances.
