Jacque Jolene

Lead Vocals, Guitar

Jacque was born in Fairbanks, Alaska, but moved a lot as her father was the Project Manager on government construction jobs. While living in Hawaii at 8 yrs. old, she found her vocal talent and a year later, the family moved to small town DeBorgia, Montana where she calls Home. Jacque and her siblings were bussed 15 miles to the nearest school in St. Regis. She began singing in their school concerts and singing competitions all over the northwest. At the age of 14, she won the state competition in the “Colgate Country Showdown” and advanced to Anaheim, CA for regionals.
Jacque graduated high school as Valedictorian from St. Regis, MT and went on to the University of Montana to pursue an accounting degree, all the while still singing competitively. Two years later, she met Nate (bass guitarist), and in 2003, they got married and now have two beautifully talented children, Cody and Story. Jacque loves singing country music and raising her children, all the while co-owning a chain of drive thru coffee shops (Copper Mountain Coffee).
Being raised in DeBorgia gives Jacque her small town country roots, and credits her “rock edge” on stage to listening to her father’s classic rock tapes when she was young. Jacque is the lead singer of CMB, plays acoustic guitar, and finds passion in performing and songwriting. She has written numerous songs, including the highly requested CMB singles “Cowgirl Like Me” and “Beers and Beers Ago."

 Nate Norman

Nate was born in Troy, MT where he was raised on the family homestead on Copper Mountain.  Coming from a family of musicians, Nate started playing guitar at the age of 10, and picked up the bass at 15.  He started playing professionally at 16 as the bass guitarist in a local band. When he is not on the road, Nate loves everything Montana has to offer: riding horses, hunting, fishing, camping, and partaking in all of his kids’ sports and activities. 
Nate is the technician, sound man, and leader for the band.  He also co-writes with Jacque, assisting lyrically on “Beers and Beers Ago” and “One Hell of a Party.”

Cody Norman, the son of Nate and Jacque Norman, was born in Kalispell, MT and raised in Troy until moving to Kingston, ID in 2023. He is now 21 yrs old and has his degree in Diesel technology. When not playing or writing music, Cody is riding/training horses, hunting, fishing, or camping.
Cody toured all around with his folks as a young child, with never the desire to follow in their footsteps. He finally became interested in guitar at 12 yrs of age and with strong self-determination and the help of his music inspirations, Cody quickly progressed to playing music for crowds at 14 yrs old. A talented songwriter and performer, he joined CMB in 2021. Cody’s presence and high energy on stage makes him a great fit to join the band, with proud parents by his side.
