Our band history is very limited because of my health challenges in the last few years. I (ROY DENTON) am a rather prolific lyricist who has written over 1500 songs and on average writes ten new songs each month. I have also written a number of songs for Spiritual Journey. Roger “Gemelle” Denton also performs with Spiritual Journey. Roger had good success as a member of The Canterbury Musical Festival Band in the late 1960’s. He also worked with The Tokens for a few years.

Roger and I met when our daughters attended the same high school in Gig Harbor, Washington and sang in the school choir. Our great love of music helped Roger and I become the best of friends. I am originally from a small town, Paoli in the hills of beautiful Southern Indiana. Roger is from the Big Apple, New York City, New York. His two daughters have moved back to the city and are pursuing careers as singers.

We do not perform live at present, but will likely do limited performances when we complete the recording of more songs. Roger writes most of the music. I write the lyrics and have penned more than 1500 songs at present.

Roger is a consummate performer while I am a bit on the shy side. I do thoroughly enjoy both writing and singing songs.

One of our special moments was when "PAOLI The Single" was introduced and dedicated to my favorite high school teacher, Ruth Uyesugi, affectionately known as Mrs. "U" at the 2004 Lotus Dickey Hometown Reunion in Paoli, Indiana. A second special moment was being interviewed by a regional newspaper and having an excellent article written about us.

Note: PAOLI is being played on online radio stations WWJD-#1 and WWJD-#2.

PAOLI PAOLI The Single by The Denton Bros, is a song about Paoli, Indiana in the year, 1960. It is dedicated to Mrs. Ruth Uyesugi, a very popular teacher at Paoli High School.
