The Jokers & Prophets Band, a group of longtime musical friends going back to the 1970s, Steve Gidora, Medderick, Jan Sentell, Jan Iggulden, and Wayne Iggulden came together 9 years ago to do what they love doing, creating and performing music.

After putting on a few concerts they went into Ed Johnson's studio and recorded 5 songs with Ed on drums. Soon after they were joined by Sam Sauerteig on bass, Rick Clark on drums and recorded another 8 songs for a 13 track CD they released in June of 2024.
