Royce "Marty" Cofield ... Grub ... Jeff HawthorneSonny Skyyz & The Rainmakers, who were formed in June of 2011, delivers an uptown "Old School" R&B sound, hard hitting, down home Blues and a wide range of Rock & Roll, Funk & Pop. Sonny was influenced by the soulful and powerful basslines that defined 60's & 70's soul & funk and honed his skills with friend & guitarist Joe Stark, was recruited by the legendary blues band "The JukeStompers" as the bassist/frontman/lead vocalist, and has played with and for countless top shelf musicians from California to NC. Marty is from Virginia and has been singing and playing guitar since he was 10 eventually developing a love of the blues. His vocals & genre versatility completes The Rainmakers sound. Grub is from just around the bend in Dallas, NC. He's played & recorded with some of the best players and musical acts in Charlotte and the surrounding area including The Part Time Blues Band. His contributions to The Rainmakers are invaluable. Jeff, who started playing in professional bands at 14 years old, was influenced by sounds like The Allman Brothers, Jeff Beck, Little Feat & Vince Gill. Jeff's "clock-like" timing and strong drum play lays the goove-based foundation that is key to The Rainmaker Sound.
