Iggy Rae Vicious, the guitar playin' cowboy lookin', rootin' tootin', barefoot rocker. Also one of Wisconsin's best kept secrets. Live music played with attitude and feeling, loud and proud.
Five years in Los Angeles, a long association with "Bobby Evans & The Alimony Blues Band" here in Wisconsin, and ten years in Austin, Texas. This is either the stuff dreams are made of, or nightmares. But highlighted by meeting a rash of rock and roll superstars in L.A such as Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), Mic Jagger, Ronnie James Dio, Tom Petty, and George Harrison. In Austin, recording a BluesKnights CD with Roy Cox, and including Crhis Layton and Tommy Shannon of Double Trouble. Now days Iggy Rae and company are kickin' some serious ass! Over 200 gigs a year for the last 5 years is a plus, this kind of schedule will sharpen the edge and polish the stone
Hosting Blues Jams, Acoustic Open Mics, Rock Jams, can't hurt. Rat Sass, The Headliners, Brew Haus Blues Band, The New Crew, Iggy Rae Vicious, these are the names, the players are all top notch and serious rockers.
I miss the Hippie too. I miss the visits to prime for a gig. I also need to get out to see more of the people he played with, you included. I am about to go up by Nick. When the congas are not in use they are set up in his livingroom. Hope to see you play soon. Chuck
Shadow and I were sitting here listening to you, I actually clicked on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" he was across the room and the minute you started singing, he looked over at me and said "THAT'S IGGY" lol, and of course I smiled and said YESSS it sure is! He said he'd NEVER forget that voice nor your guitar playing! Man I wish this lawsuit would hurry and be over and done with for us, and I pray we get some money to go with it, but I'd LOVE to come to your beautiful piece of heaven and to see you play again! We miss you Iggster! Miss you very much! I hope you like the FULL MOON I've sent you! Hugz N Kisses babe! Terri and Shadow

Hi Iggy. I just added a song by Slash on my playlist, the Godfather theme. I thought it was kinda cool and for some reason it made me think of you. Rob and I will have to come out and see you if we can get away. Have a good one!
