She joined a vocal jazz group in the early 2000s and learned to play the piano. In 2020, she teamed up with Albert Lee, and their shared love for Linda Ronstadt inspired them to form Simple Dreams in 2022. The band has quickly gained popularity, with sold-out shows and a promising future.

AJ Monaco

AJ Monaco began his musical journey in his late teens, moving to Southern Oregon in 1988 to form a band. After a successful early career, he took a 15-year break but returned to the stage with Rock Candy, joining Pier Pressure and Simple Dreams. AJ now performs with Simple Dreams and Triple Threat, marking a significant comeback in his musical career.

Rick Copeland

Lead Guitar

Lifetime of Music, A Heart for Service

From the warm tones of his grandfather’s organ to the soulful sounds of Leon Russell and Elton John, Rick Copeland’s journey has been shaped by a love of music that spans decades.

Starting on clarinet and switching to guitar at just 10 years old, Rick found his way to the piano in high school — later adding saxophone and pedal steel guitar to his repertoire. Over 60 years later, his music continues to evolve, now as part of Simple Dreams, alongside Alois and Albert.

Rick’s story is one of resilience, growth, and the belief that music can bring hope where it’s needed most.
