Influences
Earth ... no, the actual dirt; Jimmy; Jimi; Stevie; the good seattle rock; insert several jam bands here; Montana; real punk; Neil Jam; Pearl Young; atmoshperic vortexes; Jerry; Allmans; Angus; fungus; Maiden; California; The Damned; The Lurker; Sabbath; Jim Daniels & Jack Beam; the road; The Old Man; and of course Ye Ole No. 10!
The establishment kills ... whether it be mortally or spiritually. Jackleg provides a musical life-force beacon toward which the dead escape ... and as they flee the system, you can see the metamorphosis as they again become "human" ... and some never make it ...... don't look back, Rock For Your Life!!!
the rest of the story...
Born in the bowls of hell, Jackleg first became friends with the Devil. Later they wound up in Philipsburg, Montana. It was written, they would rock. ...and rock they did. ..so far did they travel on the wings of strings that they flew to heaven. Currently they own a piece of heaven and gather there often to create vortexes when they're not touring sporadically. Jackleg vortexes are like no other. Come. See.
Some pix from the MT tour
Okay, but seriously ... so Jackleg may sound more like a rock band that jams, than a jam band that rocks. We are two brothers, their cousin, and their dirty bastard friends who started playing together in the mid 90's. What began as family recreation, has grown into the crosshairs of fate.
We have taken various forms over the years, but the core is a 5-man lineup that includes dueling guitars ... with an occasional sax sit-in courtesy of our good friend Pete. We read the vibe that emanates from the floor each night and can flow from throwing down straight up rock, splattered with blues ... to funky grooves with a scent of jazz. All of this is of course done with the infinite desire to reveal cracks in the universe which may open at any point and spill a tasty vortex, engulfing all in attendance.
Sometimes we meet at the home ranch in Montana as a home base for various physical and mental recreation tangents.
Ty and DAH! Great rolling w you in Keystone & Breck and rocking with you this week! Have a great 08! More rock on the way....CW squaredogg---no blizzard or road closure stops this dogg rock delivery, heh!
