In 1997 Mike Crandall, Doug Chapline, and K.O. Skinsnes decided to put a band together composed of friends that all had good day gigs (regular jobs). They decided on a rhythm section with 4 horns and a lead female vocalist (chick singer) in order to get a powerful sound. Two years later, Reno Jones was born.

Reno Jones consists of Jerri-Sue Dawson on lead vocals, Doug Chapline on guitar and lead vocals, Mike Burnham on the bass, Larry Paschall on drums, David Jones on keyboards, Roger Ehrnman on Tenor Sax, Chris Searight on Baritone Sax, Mike Crandall on Trombone and vocals, and K.O. Skinsnes on Trumpet and Flugelhorn.
