Jerry Mulkins - Lead Guitar/Vocals
Jerry began playing the guitar at 14 years old and has played in dozens of bands since. He is currently the lead guitarist with Runaway Train Band, Cheap Yellow Mustard, Gary Mazzola and the Usual Idiots, and Bold Witness, a Christian band. He is also head musician for the High Desert Emmaus Walk Organization and guitarist and Minister with St. Malalchy’s Catholic Church. Lisa Bowman And the Wild Ones was the last country band Jerry played with before joining the Runaway Train Band. For several years Lisa Bowman And the Wild Ones were the second house band at Buck Owens’s Crystal Palace in Bakersfield (the buckaroos being the first house band, of course). The Wild Ones charted three top 50 songs in the mid nineties and were being played nationally on fifteen hundred radio stations. During that time, Lisa Bowman And the Wild Ones opened for Wynona Judd, Jon Anderson, Trace Adkins, The Smoking Armadillos and Big House. One of the things that Jerry has brought to the Runaway Train Band is a bit of the “Bakersfield Sound”. His tasty riffs and blazing solos have become an integral part of the Runaway Train Band’s sonic image. Over the last few years Jerry and the “Wild Child” Teri Villain have developed a mutual respect for each others playing and have treated our fans to some amazing and blazing solo exchanges. When these two start, “the train keeps on a Rollin”! Jerry is also a talented composer and jazz guitarist. Jerry wrote the band “Cheap Yellow Mustard’s” first album and the second album is nearing its release. Jerry and the bass player Rob Saranpa also play together in “Bold Witness” and are working towards the recording of their first album
