Currently residing in Wausau, Wisconsin, Rico Jaeger's musical background is both varied and diverse. In performing bands since the age of 12, his main instruments are guitar and voice, however he can also play drums, bass, piano and violin. His high school band X-FACTOR (1981 - 83) launched his bar band days, fueled by his quest to learn as much possible by listening to his personal hero, Edward Van Halen. ROULETTE (mark I, 1984 - 87) came next, furthering his play area, experience and diversity in covering everything from Duran, Duran to Ratt to Loverboy. Then came ROULETTE (mark II, 1987 - 92) a nationally touring mixed-gender band based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota and performing more than 300 dates / year at high-end hotel chains, large dance clubs, colleges and as opening act for high profile national acts. Coming off the road, he sang opera for a bit, putting his Bachelor of Music degree to good use - both in the US and Europe, then accepted a position in the Wausau Public School district as a High School Choral Director. His next band, SHADOWLANDS (1996 - 99) went back to his roots of 80's rock, and his current band AREA 51 (2001 - present) covers a little bit of 70's, 80's, 90's and current rock. The songs featured on this page were all written / arranged / recorded / produced by Rico, who played all instruments and did all vocal tracks single-handedly. Please stop by again for further updates and an exciteing new project underway...! NOTE: I CREATED THIS PAGE BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT TO SAY TO THE WORLD!! I've been through much - orbital high's and sub-oceanic lows - and I've learned. I've learned what's important, what's rare and precious, and what's BS. Tune in frequently for my thoughts expressed both in song and random writings. You can read it and then you can laugh, say "hmm" or learn from it. Whatever path you choose, blessings, peace, wisdom and love (...if you're truly lucky enough to find it...) in '07. ***HEY! It's AIRSHOW season! How are my brothers of the 64th Tactical Aggressor Squadron? Watch your 6! JESTER'S gonna take you DOWN!

Hey Buddie, How are you doing? It's been awhile since I last talked to you. I'm doing pretty good I guess just traveling a lot to see my Grandma cause the doctor says he gives her to about the end of August yet. So things have been really hard. And now that Nikki has left for 7 months that has really taken a toal on me since we were so close. But other wise that is it. I really miss you and hope to hear from ya soon. Amanda
