Patti Cleveland
Lead singer Patti’s vocal experience started in Newport Beach, California, singing
in the primary choir at church. She continued singing in choirs throughout
her later school years in her home town of Lebanon, Oregon and continued at
Oregon State singing in the University Choir where she also sang in a
“beautyshop” quartet. Her solo career primarily consisted of church
services of one form or another and a community variety show or two.
Having recently stumbled into the 40-something crowd, she feels compelled
to spread her wings and stretch her vocal abilities to include
rock-and-roll lead and backup singing. What fun!
Patti met her husband Kurt in 1995 while they were both working at
Hewlett-Packard. After leaving HP in 1999, Patti has been a stay-at-home
mom to 3 beautiful girls, Kira, Kayla, and Amelia. When her hands aren’t
full with them, she does side work as an information engineer and volunteers
for the local booster club and kids' activities, and speaks at fundraising
events with her family for the Children’s Miracle Network, giving back for
the miracle of their super-preemie Kayla.
Being part of All Rights Reserved gives Patti an opportunity
to explore many vocal styles, rhythm percussion instruments, and may even
encourage her to pick up the sax again after 20 plus years. She feels
privileged to be able to make music with all of these fine musicians and
individuals.

Doug Cox
Guitarist and backup vocalist Doug started his musical journey at the
age of 9 when his parents sent him to the local music store for guitar
lessons. Alfred’s Book of Guitar and “Camptown Races” didn’t hold his
interest long, and the rental guitar made his fingers bleed. He gave it up
after 8 days. With more interesting material to tackle, he revisited the
guitar at age 13 and hasn’t stopped playing since. Doug started his
“professional” musical career in the mid-70’s and has played in various
bands and musical ensembles over the years, most recently with the Randy
Gardner Band, Albuquerque, and all of the iterations of Abner Kravitz.
Doug’s musical tastes run the gamut from rock, blues, and classical to
swing and jazz. He’s having a great time working up new material with ARR
that is interesting and hopefully crowd-pleasing.
By day Doug works at Hewlett-Packard in Corvallis, Oregon. He was
born and raised in Napa, CA and has lived all over California, in Colorado,
and now calls Oregon home. Doug married Arleen, in 1987 and they have two
gifted and lovely daughters - Leeanna and Sarah. All are doing well, thank
you.
Like most guitarists, Doug is seeking the elusive tone that he has
yet to find. At the moment, his equipment consists of: Taylor, Takamine,
and Ehlers acoustic guitars; a '75 cherry sunburst Les Paul and Levinson
Strat electrics; Line 6 solid state and Crate tube amplifiers; Mirrorpond
and Arrogant Bastard ales; and a host of other contraptions that can spew
out noise beyond imagination.

Brian B. Egan
Bassist and vocalist Brian is the "old man" of the group, but
remains agile despite his advanced years. He started playing in the early
60's in his home state of Florida, suffered through a long musical hiatus,
and resumed playing in the mid-80's while living in the San Francisco Bay
Area. He has very ecletic interests and influences ranging from Classical
(with Vivaldi a favorite) to [very moderate amounts of] rap and disco, but
drops everything to listen to the Moody Blues and Tower of Power.
Brian owns and runs
Clarity LLC, an
organization-improvement consulting practice, and also does web design. In
his spare he dotes on his grandkids Emily and Liam, paints watercolors, and
works with four charities. Having lived in both England and Germany, he
also welcomes every opportunity to travel to Europe.
Brian plays a fretted 5-string pre-Gibson Tobias Classic, a Pedulla
Pentabuzz fretless, and an Engelhardt ES-1 upright bass. Amplification consists
of a G-K 1001RB head, two Hartke 410XL cabinets, and a Raven MDB-1 preamp.

Dan Gardner
Dan's rock'n'roll career didn't formalize until the mid 90's when friends equated
his classical piano skills with rock keyboardist possibilities and encouraged him to
purchase a synthesizer. After one garage session that exhausted all known 3 chord rock
songs, his friends sent him packing until he offered to convert his garage for
practice space. The result was the formation of the Randy-Gardner band, which included
two members of the late Abner Kravitz: Randy Vogt and Doug Cox. With time, and a lot
of practice, his chops improved and the band members eventually graduated
him from 'air' keyboards to amplified keyboards during gigs. The RG group
split up in '99.
In 2003, Dan returned to Corvallis after a three year hiatus during which he
started up (and shut down) a telecommunications equipment company in Richardson, TX.
Dan is currently employed by Hewlett-Packard as an engineer, shares a new home with a
mean alley cat, and is forever searching for the perfect wife who will support him
with money, retirement, musical toys and country club memberships [and caring,
loving companionship - ed.] while he pursues his absurd aspirations of becoming a
rock star and golf pro.
Dan is excited about being in All Rights Reserved and says: "the musical talent,
song selection, and future direction of ARR provide me with a great vehicle to expand
and improve my blues and jazz skills. I enjoy adding a special dimension to
the band's sound and believe our audience will be very pleased with the energy and
excitement of ARR in the future."

Tim Riley
Youngest of five brothers, born into a family steeped in theater and
church choir, drummer and lead vocalist Tim's earliest serious musical experiences were auditions for
singing roles in local productions of musicals such as South Pacific and
The Music Man. He spent hours tucked in a corner while his two oldest
brothers, a drummer and a Hammond keyboard player, formed a rock&roll
band in the 60s.
Tim formed his first band as drummer and lead singer at age 14,
with a brother on bass and two local guitar players. They played for
several years on raw energy before Tim's oldest brother moved down from the
Seattle area and added an influence of 50s and 60s jazz and rock with
strong emphasis on 3- and 4-part vocals. Tim was a founding member of
The Riley Boys band, playing throughout the 70s all over the Northwest and
Northern California until 'disco' and family pressures put bands and
'gigs' on the back burner. Tim spent the 80s playing in church and in
intense study of various musical styles in his home studio. He played in
local jam sessions and with several bands from the mid-90s until joining
All Rights Reserved.
A desire for a more sophisticated style of music involving complex
vocals and instrumental interaction has made the transition into
All Rights Reserved a very pleasant experience.
