Jennie Anastass - Jennie's huge passion for entertainment and singing started from childhood. Jennie's father introduced her from a very young age to sit and watch all his favorite Hollywood musicals with him. He was a great singer himself and those songs and entertainment got under Jen's skin! That's where the musical journey started.
The professional life started at 18 years of age, singing and performing at Greek weddings. Also performed at local venues, retirement villages and a member of a blues/Motown band for some years. Jennie had her Lead Vocals own singing school for children for over 10 years which holds many wonderful memories. Her passion for singing kept her singing in Xmas Concerts, venues and parties.
Jen then joined The Rockintones back in 2022 for a season which was great fun! Now Jen is back, belting out the most enjoyable songs from the 60/70/80s era to entertain you all, to come sing along and dance the night away!

Paul Karlson - As a child Paul was greatly influenced by the music of the 50’s Rock & Roll Era. In the sixties as a teenager he formed a band called West End. His first gig was an 18th Birthday party in a garage and from that moment on he has been hooked. He has played in many bands throughout the decades playing all styles at various venues throughout Australia. As Paul says “ The older I get the more passion I seem to have for music, especially going back to the Rock & Roll roots of the 50’s and 60’s. The rest is history".

John Silvester – I started playing guitar wheen I was 15. I instantly took to it and began to practice 40 hour per week. To use the Brian Adams line, I literally played the guitar 'till my fingers bled. I was fortunate to have been a student of the legendary guitar teaher Tony Colabro and therefore able to obtain an ecellent grounding in reading music, jazz improvisation and chord substitution. I went on to play for many years in Latrobe Valley function and cover bands such as Imagine, After hours and Breezin. My early influences were Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana an George Benson. Later, when I moved to Melbourne I continued to play in Cover/function bands such as Mi life crisis, the blues outfit blue rock and Acoustio Blues Duo The Johnson Brothers. One of my other main guitar influences is Tommy Emanual an have been fortunate, in recent years to be able to spend many hours studying and playing finger style guitar and a little blues with him. Playing with The Rockin Tones has allowed me to continue to appreciate and enjoy the vibe that a live audience generates. Especially since our audiences love to have such a good time! Hope to see you at our next gig . . .
