Juanita Family was formed in 1999 by Lana Rebel (bass player of former noise-rock band Last
of the Juanitas) from a need to play the slew of country songs sheâ€™d been writing. It wasnâ€™t hard to
convince long-time friends Johnny Schier from Last of the Juanitas (on drums), Ben Wildenhaus of
Federation X (on lap slide and piano) and long time Arizona friends, Dylan Reilly (bass) and James
Curley (mandolin) to jump on board. This mix of friends has a great time playing together and the
result is a sweet, old-fashioned sound that welcomes you to come on in and make yourself at home.
In a completely do-it-yourself fashion, Lana and Dylan worked hard, saved their pennies and
dimes, and released their self-titled CD in September of 2004. After touring and playing rock venues,
roadhouses, parties, crawfish boils, festivals, rodeos, radio stations, and street corners across the
country, they are proud to report having nearly sold out of the 1000 pressing in the first year, with
little help from national distributors.
The CD has received positive response from radio stations across the globe, including BBC Radio
1, which has invited the Juanita Family to record a session in 2006. Regionally, it continues to
get airplay, and was chosen as best Northwest Country by KBCS Seattleâ€™s Christine Linde.
