Shelley & The Curves feature three power-house female singers
and dancers led by the party girl herself, Shelley Tomberg.

|
Shelley Tomberg: Diva Delight and Rock Queen
 Shelley's rare ability to belt out a tune with vocal fireworks inspires
jump-up-and-dance-a-motion on tunes like Blondie's "One Way or Another" or Aretha's "Respect."
But turn her loose on a ballad like "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys and you'll get goose bumps from
her emotion-filled delivery. Ms. T's resume includes performing with number-one recording
artists such as Alan White of Yes, Roger Fisher of Heart, and Goldie McJohn of Steppenwolf,
guitarist Michael Powers and Sax player Darrin Motamedy. She has also performed in front of
50,000 people doing her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner for the Mariners during opening
week at Safeco Stadium. Shelley was with the 10-piece regional dance band, "Top Brass" before
forming The Curves.

Karen Ford: Vocal Threader and Dancer Extraordinaire
Karen brings a passion for both music and dance to the Curves. Her training began at an early
age with piano and ballet lessons and blossomed from there. You may have seen her dancing and
singing her way through numerous musical theater productions such as Civic Light Opera’s “42nd
Street” or “Crazy For You.” She was a founding member of Eastside Musical Theater, serving as
their resident choreographer for two years. Karen’s smooth low harmonies and infectious enthusiasm
keep the party hoppin’ all night long!

Adrienne MacIain: Dr. Mac
Adrienne is what you might call a "quadruple threat": not only does she sing, dance, and act,
she is also an accomplished writer and scholar--she even has a Ph.D.!! "Dr. Mac" has been a
performer since the age of 9 and has graced the stages and television sets of no less than 7
countries on 3 different continents. No stranger to shaking her booty, she is a pseudo-celebrity
in the West African nation of Cote d'Ivoire, where she starred in a popular "Mapouka" music video.

Shelley, Karen, Sally, and Adrienne's rare blend of talent and true friendship sparkle on stage bringing
you not only a great night of dancing fun, but a great show as well.

Craig Webb: Guitarist Extraordinaire
With a resume that includes graduating from the UW and Cornish with degrees in music as well as
playing with top international recording artists such as Gloria Estefan, Fat James, Canned Heat,
Cat Morrison, the Moody Blues and Tom Jones, Craig has the star talent that few bands around
Seattle can claim. Craig's signature lead guitar licks can be heard on Ambrosia and Pablo
Cruise's top pop albums. What's more, Craig is arguably the best dressed lead guitar player north
of LA!

Jon Miller: Doctor Bassclef
The passion behind the pulse comes from the bottom up, and Jon is the Curves' resident expert!
Jon has shared the stage with the likes of Dr. John and Coco Montoya, and has been performing
in Seattle show bands for the last 15 years on stages and in orchestra pits all around Puget Sound.
Jon puts the bass where it belongs & keeps the heartbeat pounding strong!

Joel Johnson: "Joltin" Joel
"Joltin" Joel Johnson plays multi-keyboards, while backing up the Curves. He has performed with great northwest talents
including Merrilee Rush and Ann Wilson and has toured in forty of our fifty states. From Aretha to Alicia,
Joel adds tasty licks that are always fresh and edgy. Perfect for the Curves!

Paul Kollman
Paul, an avid lover of the drums since first hearing a live band at the age of 11, has been performing in bands
and studio recording sessions in the genres of Rock & Roll, Country, R&B, and Jazz throughout the Pacific NW and
Northern California, as well as donating his time and talents to playing Gospel in church on Sunday. Trained by
such greats as Mel Brown, Chic Colburn and Moyes Lucas, Paul’s fantastic styling ads the great dance beat to the Curves.

|
Bob Tomberg: The Godfather
 Topping off the rhythm section is rhythm guitar player Bobby T. Having performed with some of
Seattle's top recording artists, such as Gretchen Christopher from the Fleetwoods and Alan White
from Yes, Bob's tasty fills add texture and power to The Curves live performances. After
earning his degree in dentistry from the U of W, Bob is not only the band manager, but he also
has the thankless job of keeping the lead singer happy.
