Meet The Cheeseburgers!
The Cheeseburgers are named for the iconic Jimmy Buffett tune Cheeseburger in Paradise.
Their songs tell stories of boats, bars, beaches, babes and bad behavior. With six vocalists, keyboard, guitar, groovin' bass and a driving beat, you'll be up and dancing and singing along.

Don Ross was born in San Francisco, raised in Sacramento and moved to Eugene to attend the UO. As a teenager, Don fortunately lost a coin toss and had to play guitar instead of banjo in a folk duo. Since then he has played lead guitar and sang in a number of bands including Wheatfield, Arroyo, and Gloria Gold and Showdown, appearing with acts as diverse as Hank Williams Jr. to Bonnie Raitt. He then started Don Ross Productions, a prominent recording studio collecting a Gold Record, Grammy nominations and recording countless albums for other artists. Don was inducted, as a member of the band Wheatfield, into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame in 2011.

Clark Lynch grew up in Springfield, Oregon and spent his youth touring with shows from Vegas to Alabama and from Missoula to Texas, appearing with Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard among others. He returned to Eugene, playing with various rock bands until hanging it up in the '70s. He had a rekindling of his musical desire when The Cheeseburgers needed a drummer, and he quickly regained his skills to create that "down island" rhythm. Clark is overjoyed to be playing again and proud to be a Cheeseburger.

Arne Olsen is a life-long Eugene area resident. He grew up playing piano, viola and trombone. During his college years at the UO, he started to play the bass in bands with his friends. He has played with countless Eugene-area groups, including Zydeblue, The Zydeco-dependents, ToneDawg, and The Revelators. He has even performed on stage with the likes of James Cotton and Neville Brothers drummer, Willie Green. When he's not pumping out fat bass lines for The Cheeseburgers, Arne puts in a 40 hour work-week at the The Duck Store Processing Center, plays soccer and works on his house. He also loves to sit in on a friendly game of poker.
