Chicago-area native Greg Marcotte began playing guitar 45 years ago. He enjoys playing many styles of music, from the Blues to Progressive Metal and everything in between.

Stephanie “Steffi” Geman-Marcotte began her musical journey with guitar lessons which led to elementary school talent shows and then accompanying her high school choir on piano. She went to college to major in recording engineering but soon switched to a double major in math and physics and became a multidimensional database architect. The music spark still burned and led her to follow The Grateful Dead and Phish in her 20's, and then to meet her husband, Greg, who just happens to be Action Jackson's lead guitarist. Their first band together quickly grew to play popular clubs in Chicago. Out of necessity, she learned to play bass. She and Greg formed a Led Zeppelin / Black Sabbath cover band and spent the next 25 years developing different rock bands as well as starting a family with their lovely daughter. Steffi’s heart is in entertaining and is using her skills at bass, rhythm guitar, and keyboards to make the Action Jackson sound what it is today. AJ is blessed to have her and she is grateful to you for allowing her to live her dream.

Craig Griffin / Bass Guitar
Craig Griffin was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas and his father exposed him to two things early in life, golf and music. His curiosity with the bass guitar started in the ninth grade when a friend let him borrow it. It was not returned for months. The fuse had been lit and exploded into a music obsession. In the 1980’s the Dallas/Fort Worth area had a huge music scene with local talent such as Sweet Savage, Shock Tu and Pantera playing somewhere almost every weekend . As a teenager, Craig would sneak into the night clubs and position himself in front of different bass players in an effort to educate himself. Later in life, Craig took a step back from music and moved to Orlando Florida where he became a PGA Golf Professional and later caddied on the PGA Tour for Mark O’Meara and David Gossett. After caddying, he worked as a teaching professional for Arnold Palmer at the Bay Hill Country Club. His experiences have allowed him an up close experience with Kiss and getting to meet bands such as Aerosmith and Collective Soul which relit the music fuse. Craig has been an instructor at the Villages Golf Academy for 17 years and is married to the love of his life Cindy Griffin.
