Six skilled and educated professional musicians, the members of RockSkool know how to Rock! These talented guys have over 150 years combined performing experience to bring you a huge catalog of songs- so the entertainment seems never ending!
Randy Monroe is the RockSkool front-man who sings his heart out and gets the crowd moving. With a MS in Science and Technology Education, he is also a middle school science teacher for the Mt. Diablo Unified School District. Randy is the founder of Monroe Science Educational Services which specializes in fun day trips and science camps. When he is not teaching, he is lead vocalist for Hot For Teacher: the Van Halen Experience* for over 11 years. Randy was classically trained by opera singer Claudine Spindt, who had performed with Pavarotti. Singing for more than 25 years and skilled in three octaves, Randy is a baritone crooning, tenor reaching, and powerhouse with soul!
RockSkool’s wall of sound is balanced by two master guitarists: Eric Jorgensen and Terry Lauderdale. These pro shredders handle all the rhythm and lead guitar riffs with impeccable timing, flash, flare and finesse.
Guitarist, producer, arranger, and songwriter Eric Jorgensen enjoys a wide range of music and can masterfully perform Rock, Pop, Indie, and Folk. He partnered with Carol Bozzio (sister of the talented Terry Bozzio) in the award-winning duo, Chatterbox, and has written many great solo songs. He has performed in a number of acts and bands and was a winner on Ed McMahon's Star Search. Eric has also composed songs for movies such as the score (four songs) for The Last Kennedy and the title track for Girlfriend from Hell.
Guitarist Terry Lauderdale is a machine when it comes to playing rock and metal. He began playing and performing in grade school while studying classically. He became a tutor in his high school's music program and continues to tutor and teach privately. Influenced by both America and Europe's hard rocking guitar gods, Terry became a noting virtuoso and subsequent tremolo master. Over the years, he has shared stages with many rock stars while performing in number of acts including: Sabotage, Die Sieger, Champion, Acid Tongue, Heathen, Fast Eddie, HOT FOR TEACHER, Strangers in the Night, The Terry Lauderdale Band, and The Terry Lauderdale Project. He continues to dazzle and make a lasting impact on audiences throughout the world.
Bassist Jesse Scott keeps the groove rolling and the bass thumping. An accomplished conductor and musical director, Jesse also has a double Masters degree in Education and Bass Performance. After he won a concerto competition for the Marin Symphony he toured in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, and the United States. Jesse has recorded with the Taipei Symphony on the live Air Supply album "Now and Forever"; and performed with the Boston Philharmonic. In 1998, Jesse began teaching music at Novato High School. He has also been teaching at the Brandeis Hillel Day School in Marin, California, since 1999. While still performing with Hot For Teacher: the Van Halen Experience*, Jesse also manages the famous Marin-based summer camp "Rock On”.
Keyboardist Jason Goodman is classically trained and has performed with the pop tribute act, Mandonna. He has played for a multitude of dignitaries and ambassadors from around the world. Jason has been featured on Howard Stern's Sirius Radio, ESPN and mentioned in the Associated Press. From piano ballads to synthesized tones, Jason hits the keys on time, every time.
Percussionist professional, Eddie Studebaker, holds the musical wheels on the road, driving the band with infectious drum beats that make crowds groove. Playing drums since he was 5 years old, Eddie began playing with the Marty Balin Band in 1983, then with the David Elan Band who were managed by Bill Graham from 1985 to 1987. In 1996 he joined The Drew Browne Band, and later played with the Van Halen tribute band Panama and eventually with Hot For Teacher: the Van Halen Experience* since 2005.
RockSkool is capable of performing any and all requested material at a competitive price. Their incredible vocal harmonies are alone worth the price of admission! The band is based out of Northern California and has individually- and collectively- performed in virtually every type of venue. Whether your event is in a nightclub, winery, concert hall, or a private party – RockSkool is ready.
Large events such as outdoor festivals, fairs, stadiums, and casinos are perfect for RockSkool’s big sound and stage presence.
Fun, exciting, professional, and ready to Rock!
RockSkool will get your crowd dancin’, smilin’, groovin’ and rockin’!
*RockSkool band mates Randy, Jesse, Eddie, and formerly Terry are also known for their dazzling performances as Hot For Teacher: the Van Halen Experience. Considered one of the music industry’s favorite Van Halen acts, it became apparent through their annual NAMM performances. Hot For Teacher (HFT) was also voted Best Tribute Band 2008 by the readers of Northern California’s East Bay Express.

"Okay, you said so and you were right! You guys officially blew us all away. Even the most jaded new music – anti-cover band server and bartender here was absolutely amazed. Thank you for a great show and supporting our WHY Hunger cause. Our time on-air time with Steven Seaweed and KSAN 107.7 The BONE that you arranged was incredibly valuable and we filled an entire barrel with food! We had several corporate buyers in the audience and they made the connection between a private event at Hard Rock and your show immediately. You and the guys are all pros and were so amazing to work with; it was a joy. The band RockSkool ROCKS"! |

“Rock Skool was the perfect band to close out our Montgomery Village Concert Series for this year! The band’s set list is, literally, the radio station’s playlist! As I was walking to the venue from the parking lot I thought I heard someone checking the PA system with a Boston CD—but it was the band doing sound check! You guys are extremely entertaining—and the audience sang along with every song. RockSkool knows how to both begin and end the show on a high note!" |
