We love to play parties and main events along with wedding receptions, fairs, corporate events, and conventions. S R 109 is a powerhouse band that plays blues and rock and roll and anything else we like or enjoy.
"I've been playing guitar and singing in bands for 50 years, so I know music. Recently I spent 3 hours making videos of SR 109 as well as critiquing them and just plain rockin' out to their AWESOME sound! These folks LOVE music and it shows. Great rock n' roll and blues which will set your feet a-tappin'. This band will get you out on the dance floor for sure!"

Fabulous night of rock, blues, soaring guitar and vocals. Crowd was up dancing, and the band was better than anything seen around the North Beach in years.

SR 109 Band from Grays Harbor Washington
By Angelo Bruscas, editor/president North Beach Community TV
The SR 109 Band merges the rich and well-honed talents of singer/keyboard player Jetta Smith, singer/guitarist Johnny Nygaard, singer/bass player Tom Thompson and singer/drummer Steve Travis. The veteran blues and rock-based quartet has been building its audience across the North Beach this past year with live video performances in our small community television, as well as in the recording studio post-COVID.
The songs they have mastered span generations of timeless music from the Creedence-inspired “Suzy Q,” to the Eagles’ “I Can’t Tell You Why,” or Linda Ronstadt-infused “Blue Bayou,” to blues standards like, “Bring in on Home,” or new renditions of foot-stomping rockers such as “Pride and Joy.” Highlights are the soaring solos from Johnny’s Stratocaster and the soul-deep vocals by Jetta, backed by the solid rhythms driving the band in the hands of Steve and Tom, with harmonies by all.
They are a band that will have you dancing, singing, shouting for joy, and, most importantly, smiling with delight as you travel along the route with SR 109.

If you haven't seen SR 109 then you are missing out on one of the best Blues Rock Bands in Grays Harbor. SR 109 features the dynamic singer, Jetta Smith; her vocals go from a sultry Blues to Rock and Ballads. Jetta has an incredible vocal range that is amazing and one that you have to experience. Along with Jetta SR 109 is made up three other fantastic members, Jon Nygaard vocals, Lead and Rhyme Guitarist whose guitar licks are some of the bests I've heard in the area including outside of Grays Harbor. Tom Thomson on Bass, vocals, and Steve Travis on Percussion and vocals. The four of them make up SR 109 a band full of great talent and energy, one you have to hear!
