VOCALS
Dannette Olive
Born and raised on The Big Island of Hawai’i, Danette embodies a deep love for music, culture, art, literature, and theater. Influenced by legends like Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Heart, and the incomparable Freddy Mercury, she gravitates towards performers with powerhouse vocals, echoing her own musical aspirations. Growing up in a musically inclined family, Danette's love for music blossomed from an early age, nurtured by the harmonies that filled her home.Beyond her musical pursuits, Danette finds solace in reading, and in the warmth of her friends and family. With her husband, two daughters, and doggos by her side, she cherishes moments of togetherness. Whether belting out tunes on stage or embracing quiet moments, Danette's life is a symphony of love, melody, and connection. She has been the lead vocalist of The Screaming Geckos since September, 2023.
BASS
Debbie
Debbie, orginally from Buffalo NY, made her way to the Big Island via a detour in Japan. Debbie has lived on the Big Island since 2004 and has never played a musical instrument since being talked into, "just try learning, you can keep a beat you can play the bass. If you don't like it we'll look for someone else" when The Geckos lost their uber talented bass player....big shoes to fill. She learned some basics and since joinging The Screaming Geckos at the end of 2022 caught the bug and is sticking around. She is still learning and having fun performing something that was not in her comfort zone.
Keys
Scarlet Muller
Scarlet bought a cheap Casio keyboard when she was in the Air Force, figured out what notes belonged to what keys, and taught herself everything she knows today. She's been jamming with us since the beginning. A refugee from Alabama, she sought a more enlightened part of the country for herself, wife, and son in 2006, and has called Hawaii home ever since.
Lead GUITAR
Jeff
Jeff found his way To the Screaming Gerckos earlier this year and is a welcome addition.
He has been playing the guitar since he was ten years old. Grew up in Chicago, Illinois, then spent thirty years in Austin, Texas so he is heavily influenced by Chicago and Texas blues. A jet plane brought him to Hawaii!
Greg Boyles
Greg moved from Colorado to the Big Island in 2018 with his family. During the pandemic he started The Screaming Geckos in 2021. He found other musicians through friends and word of mouth.
With the experiance from his former bands in Colorado along with a PA System and more gear and instruments you can shake a stick at, he set the wheels in motion to form The Screaming Geckos on the Big Island. Greg has a love of music and entertaining and is the evil genius behind it all.
Drums
Roger
Born in the Philippines Roger moved to Oahu, Hi. shortly after. At 10 yrs old he moved to San Diego where he bought his first 1st set of drums 🥁 via newspaper route. He's played what seemed to be dozens of rock, R&B, soul/funk (Tower of Power & AWB are favorites,) then around 1980 he got deep into Reggae doubling on Keyboards 🎹 drifting in & out of jazz, rock, pop etc,. In 2021 moved to The Big Island with his Wonderful Wife Kelly💕 🏝️ and where he hooked up with Greg, Screaming Geckos 🎶🦎 🌴🤙🏽
