Get to know us

Welcome to the Rock and Real Experience!

We've been around, gathering life experiences for decades, and at one point we decided to pour that into our music. So we have the fun times, the sad times, the romance, and everything in-between.

Every song has been exponentially enhanced by Derek Stow.

I (J.O.C) have provided my lyrics, vocals and acoustic guitar skills.

Please let me express my eternal gratitude to Derek Stow's wife, Monica van Stow, for her vocal accompaniments in "You Got To Love Someone," and "I See You Cry." Thank you Monica, so grateful.

I've got more songs coming with Derek and Monica, so keep checking in; a few songs will blow your mind!
