Northwest rock ‘n’ roll band Jr. Cadillac was formed in 1970 by musicians Jim Manolides, Buck Ormsby, George Rudiger, Bob Hosko, and Ned Neltner. Throughout the 1970s band opened for many big shows that came through the Northwest: The Kinks, The Beach Boys, ELO, Yes, and Jethro Tull. The band backed Chuck Berry 12 times on his tours through the region. Many musicians have joined and left Jr. Cadillac over the years, which, as of 2018, continues to play frequently and "spread the Jr. Cadillac gospel of 'Good Time, Good Music,' far and wide."
