JAI LAMBERT is a veteran stage and studio musician whose musical career spans from 1973 to present day. He has participated in many unique and original groups including the band REMINISCENCE with the legendary BROOKS BROWN in the mid to late 70s, and the Hot Springs based power trio KIDZ with CLINT ALLEN, also in the late 70s. In the early 80s, playing with the prog-rock group GULFSTREAM, LAMBERT toured Florida's east coast and, in 1983, the continental United States and Alaska playing over 300 dates with CLINT ALLEN'S group DIAMOND ROMEO, also featuring BROOKS BROWN. After a short stint with what was to become a phenomenally successful Fort Smith based group DAVID AND THE IMMATURES, LAMBERT played with the highly original and stylistic group PAPERKID. With the help of producer/engineer BOB KETCHUM, PAPERKID would record over 50 original songs at Ketchum's CEDAR CREST STUDIO drawing interest from at least 3 major labels. Collaborations with songwriter/guitarist JOE HAMILTON in the late 80s and early 90s led to an independent CD/Cassette release from HAMILTON LAMBERT entitled LETTERS FROM THE EARTH also produced and engineered by BOB KETCHUM. From 1988-92, JAI played with the legendary Little Rock based progressive rock group THE FREDS. In 1992-94, LAMBERT formed the power trio MEN OF HONOUR with former FREDS drummer CHUCK HORST and the late GARY GRACE, releasing a self-titled album in 1993. With ACOUSTIC PAGANS, two separate stints with multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter JIM PAGAN produced a CD entitled IT'S ABOUT TIME released in 2003. He also played with the popular Arkansas groups THE GROANUPS and THE TAPAS. Currently Jai acts as a backup musician and arranger for singer/songwriter BRYAN FRAZIER, and plays actively with the new lineup of BROTHERS WITH DIFFERENT MOTHERS and PAPERKID, who have reformed and are playing their first gig in 23 years September 5th @ Neumeier's in Fort Smith.
