The Story of Cobalt Jack

Cobalt Jack
Paul Armstrong, bass - Nancy Fenimore, vocals - Dean LaGrave, drums - Randy Bernstein, guitar


Cobalt Jack performs rock and blues classics from the late 60’s through the 90’s (with a few current tunes sprinkled about) – all tunes that inspire mayhem and spark memories of great times in your life. The band loves to rock audiences with tunes like ‘Radar Love’, ‘Your Mama Don’t Dance’ and ‘Never Been Any Reason’. In addition, the band is extremely versatile and can slow it down with personal favorites like ‘Lights’, ‘Let Me Roll It’ and ‘So Into You’.

Lead singer Nancy Fenimore captivates the crowd with her heartfelt, compelling style and stage presence. Her commanding vocals, a synthesis of both male and female artists from the likes of Robert Plant, Ann Wilson, Steve Perry, Susan Tedeschi and Steven Tyler among others personify a ‘no-holds-barred’ attitude. There ain’t nuthin’ she won’t sing! Nancy sang for Status Quo denoZ, White Lie and Ticket, delivering her emotional performances since her college days.  She throws in some harmonica and guitar for extra credit.  Her infectious spirit and passion for rock and blues music will keep you coming back for more.

The rhythm section is solidified through the thundering percussion of Dean ‘Bun E’ Lagrave, the original Sharp Dressed Man! They don’t come any nicer than Dino and damn, this man can lay it down. Dean is a gifted drummer who started banging away on the skins at the ripe old age of 7. He can play it all – Jazz, Blues, Fusion – you name it. He played with Tapestry in Salt Lake (Dino in a dry town like that??!!). Chicks dig ‘da drummers ‘ya know, especially when they’re this good! Bun E sings some lead and backup vocals (Chicks dig that, too!), and he’s simply some kinda wonderful!!!

In 2007 Paul Armstrong blew the band away at auditions with his aggressive and ever so dead-on rhythmic style of bass playing. Paul is fun to watch as he lays down the lower end for the band in commanding style. He’s a walking rock trivia book so if you want to know who’s played with who when, or what song is off of what album, just ask Paul. Paul’s love for Heavy Metal music combined with his work with Supergenius and Cosmic Fate gave him his foundation and his soulful groove. The night’s not complete if he doesn’t break a sweat. His future’s so bright, he’s gotta wear shades!

Lead guitarist Randy Bernstein has been pluckin’ at the strings for…okay…a LOT of years! Performing in the Denver music scene for over 30 years in bands such as Catscan, Cliché, Bad Dreams and Tube Works, he unmistakably captures the styles and tones made famous by former and current great guitar artists. Randy draws from a wide variety of influences ranging from funk to blues to heavy metal. You never know which of his multitude of guitars or amps he’ll show up with.  He is energetic while maintaining finesse and soul, moving from rhythm to lead with ease and his vocals add dimension to the band.

Cobalt Jack has an infectious good-time feel about them. When the band starts to play, heads start to nod, lip syncing ensues and the dance floor fills. Cobalt Jack is available for corporate events, outdoor festivals, bars/taverns, and private parties of all types. For booking information, please contact Nancy Fenimore at 303-229-1347.  Rock on.
