The Band Bio's

The talented Gina Southwick fronts Dale's House Band with an impassioned voice reminiscent to the likes of Carol King and Ann & Nancy Wilson of Heart. Gina hails from Huntington Beach, California where this self-proclaimed "choir geek" first began her singing career as a child. In the 1990's, she segued to Utah where she has performed solo and with bands such as Generation Gap among others. Gina brings high energy, grace and of course, world-class vocals to the band and performs every show at a level, quite frankly, which makes the rest of Dale's House appreciate her talents all the more. Gina has 3 children, 2 cats, a dog and is passionate about her meditation. She resides somewhere South of Salt Lake but North of Mexico.

 Dale Southard is an American bassist, vocalist and creator best known for his work with the rock and roll band, Phoenix Rising, until its dissolution in 2014. Currently, Dale is the bassist and founding member of Dale’s House Band of which its name is derived. “I’m not entirely enamored of the Dale’s House moniker” states Dale, “but I’m deeply complimented that this Covid project of converting a 100-year-old garage into a rehearsal studio was the inspiration for the name.” Although an active figure in the music scene since the late 70’s, Dale’s current work with singer, Gina Southwick, alongside fellow bandmate, Richy Williams (Phoenix Rising, Hooda THOT) is the bottom and the drive for Dale’s House. Southwick's soulful voice is the basis for the foundation of Dale’s House and their live performances while Dale and his 100-year-old garage have become a mecca for Wasatch Front musicians. He is married and resides in Sugarhouse, Utah.  

  Richy Williams is an Italian-American drummer and founding member of the progressive rock band Dale’s House and former drummer of Phoenix Rising and Hooda Thot. Known to fans by the nickname 'Fidel', his drumming is renowned for its exacting beats and his live performances for their “loud n proud” energy. His tempo? Not so much. Williams, a fourth-generation musician, is honored by his musical lineage which began in Carbon County, Utah in the early 20th century. “There is a musical path I willingly travel with those Williams’ who played and performed for generations before I arrived. From smoke filled jazz clubs to church choirs and everything (and I mean everything) in between. A damn colorful bunch of folks!”   

 Dalton Broadhead is an American musician best known as the lead guitarist for Dale’s House Band, a position that he has served since its inception, where he is known for his experimental leads to the guitar playing of bandmate Spencer Kellogg. He also has collaborated more recently with artists such as Jelene Wilkinson and bassist Eric Mickelson in the female fronted rock band, Strawberry Bitch. He currently lives with his mom, 9 cats, 3 dogs and a crippling addiction to Slipknot.    

 J.O. Peterson, known as Scooter, is a Hispanic-American musician who plays Hammond organ, keyboards and harps. The son of a coal miner and raised in Columbia, Utah, he rose to prominence in the late 80’s performing with The Argon’s band where, at the age of 14, performed regularly at the famous Cowboy Club in Wellington, Utah (for over a decade). Scooter often incorporates other elements, including harmonica, button box and accordion into his stage performances if and when bands will permit it (which isn't often). An organist by trade, he developed his own driving style, distinct from the 1970’s and 80’s Rhode’s piano-derived funk into a free-form of keys and progressions without ever taking lessons on a piano. Sometimes, he actually gets them all correct. Currently, Scooter performs regionally with Undeclared Millionaire (Steve Simonson, Smith Duncan, Dale Southard) and previously with El Dente (Undeclared Millionaire along with Dave and Emily Smith of Sake Shot). Rehab quickly followed that venture. Sober, Scooter joined Dale's House Band in 2021 where he plays keys and harp and credits his love of music to his mentor and organ teacher, David Dickey of Lee's Music, in Price, Utah. He was married to his beautiful bride, Chanta, for 18 years prior to her passing and has 4 children, 2 dogs and 3 damn cats.

Spencer Kellogg is an American jazz-funk, soul-funk and what-the-funk saxophonist, guitarist and composer who currently performs with Dale’s House Band in Salt Lake City, Utah. At the age of 5, he first began playing music and picked up the saxophone at the age of 9. Originally from New Hampshire, Spencer began his formal education at Keene State College before receiving his BA in Jazz Performance from the University of Utah. He is known throughout the Wasatch Front music scene as the pre-eminent saxophonist for essentially every genre of music, studio work and has taught saxophone, guitar and music theory since 2006. When he isn’t onstage with Dale’s House, you can often find Spencer performing in musicals and productions in and out of Utah. He is a staple of the Salt Lake Acting Company's pit orchestra of Cabaret each year and recently sat with the orchestra during the musical, Daddy Long Legs at the Empress Theatre. He performs regularly with bands Funk Schwa, Bad Weathers, with singer/songwriter Ben Brinton and The Fuse. He currently resides in South Salt Lake, Utah with his wife.
