The Imagine That Band is a rock, country and blues cover band that was formed back in the late 80's by Ziggy, Bob, Adam, Joe and Carter. Since those early days the band has gone through a lot of changes in music and people, while always maintaining a great show for people to see. Ziggy is the only original member still playing under the "Imagine That" name. He consistently keeps the band alive by changing various aspects of the group with the latest version being the best yet. With the variety of musicians and instruments in this band, Imagine That offers different types of music to keep everyone musically entertained. The following is a little back ground on each of the current band members.
Ziggy is a well-rounded and laid back old school type bass player with over twenty years in the business. He projects very solid bass lines with his boogie-woogie walks while filling up the rhythm. His style provides the backbone to keep the band rocking into the wee hours of the morning. He is particularly fond of Southern and Classic Rock. You can hear this in the music he plays and the songs he sings, but don’t let that fool you, he can still rock out to 3 Doors Down, Nickelback and Fuel. Ziggy also owns and runs the lights and sound systems for the band. He has run the sound in small clubs, large clubs, private parties, and some Abate functions. He has plenty of experience to make the band sound well rounded. With his abilities, everybody can rock-n-roll, dance or just sit back and enjoy the show. Ziggy’s band experience, besides various versions of Imagine That have been with Don Stuck & Stuck In The Night, Chaser Band, Night Crew and E.J. Evans & Crew.
Donnie Jourdan’s musical desire to entertain has led him to become a dynamic vocalist and precision guitarist. Self-trained, he displays an inventive style while continuing to elevate his abilities with 15 years in the profession. As a guitarist, his influences include such greats as Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Eric Johnson. His vocals can be compared with Scott Stapp of Creed, Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam. Donnie has preformed at many open stages throughout Indianapolis and has proven to be a valuable asset to live entertainment. He has hosted his own open stages at The King of Clubs, Stu’s Bar and Grill and Cheeseburger in Paradise. His band experience has also been with Stone10, Bar Flyz, Chaser Band, Broken Soul, Blonde Sonja, and Chrissy & The Hard Ride Express.
Tommy Wills started playing saxophone in high school marching band. After school he went on the road with his father’s band “Tommy Wills & The Big Band”. In the late 80’s he caught the rock n roll bug and has been rockin ever since. He has played in such bands as Eclipse, Chaser Band, and of course The Imagine That Band. His greatest influences include his father Tommy Wills Sr., George Thorogood & The Distroyers, Clarence Clemmons from Bruce Springstein & The East Street Band, and Alto Reed from Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band. His ultimate passion is entertaining the people. His gift to gab always keeps the people involved in the show.

I really miss Imagine That, but I know it could never be the same without the bass licks of our beloved Ziggy! There will never be another "Imagine That" that could even compare! Love always, Donna
I (tr00f) never participate in these "chain letter" type things but the idea of a short prayer seemed good hearted & simple enough to recipricate so here ya' go...
God determines who walks into your life....it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go. I need this back. If you'll do this for me, I'll do it for you. When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need.
Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer for the person who sent you this.
Father, God bless my friend in whatever it is that You know they may need this day! And may their life be full of your peace, prosperity, and power as he or she seeks to have a closer relationship with you. Amen.
Then send it on to five other people, including the one who sent it to you. Within hours you caused a multitude of people to pray for other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life.
Yeah, so I had an X-ray today and they found you in my heart. the dr. said if I took you out, I would die cuz I could not live without you.... Give this heart ♥ to every person u care about including me if u care. Try to collect 12.
