Jet Roberts started calling in 1971 at the young age of eight years old.
By age 19 he was established as a full time caller on the west coast.
To date Jet has been featured in all the western states & has traveled as far east as New York & into the New
England states.
Since 1993 Jet has been featured in other countries such as Sweden, Denmark, Holland, United Kingdom,
Germany, Finland, and New Zealand & spent two years calling full time in Perth, Australia.
Jet calls levels from basic through A-2 & from the age of 10 he has never missed a year of teaching a beginner’s
class & sometimes as many as three in a season.
During the national convention in Detroit, MI. in 2011 Jet became the newest staff caller on Rhythm Records
which is considered one of the top record labels of all time with an all-star staff.
In the summer of 2004 Jet married Sylvia Bjork from Sweden. They had a beautiful wedding in her hometown of
Orebro, Sweden with many friends from Europe & the USA in attendance. Jet & Sylvia are currently living in
Antelope, California near Sacramento. Jet is the proud father of two girls, Lacey born in 1988 & Lindsey in 1991
from a previous marriage. On February 22, 2009 Sylvia gave birth to their daughter Stella.
Pat Carnathan
Pat began square dancing in 1977 with his parents. In June of 1980 the club he danced with had an Amateur
Callers' Night and though he was scared to death he was clearly hooked. His first professional dance came in
September of 1981 and he picked up a regular gig in January of 1982. He now calls worldwide from Mainstream
through A2.
A pianist since age six, Pat arranges all of Shakedown Records' music and performs most of the music heard on the
records. Pat calls over 200 dances a year, including National conventions and festivals. Pat and his wife, Monica,
started dating nearly thirty years ago, but, like many young people, split up and went their separate ways. They got
back together in 2004 and were married in their backyard August 2nd, 2008. Pat enjoys using music from various
genres for his patters. You’ll hear techno, contemporary jazz and a number of other styles!
