What do Ido.....actually try to make a living by covering all bases.......best way to describe it is by quoting the below from my agency ( www.jaybees.com.au )press release.
Drawing on many years of experience in bands and duos, involvement in radio broadcasting and the music industry in general, Tony Jaggers has at last found his niche as a solo performer offering an entertainment package to suit a wide variety of venues and functions.
Clubs from and Pubs from Victoria border to Sydney and West to the ACT are where you'll find TJ performing.........Including Great Southern Blues Festival, Thredbo Blues, guesting at Blues on Broadbeach and Tumbafest just to name a few.
Whether solo acoustic easy listening or sequence-backed classic rock hits from the 70s to today, Jaggers gives good value for your entertainment dollar with quality sound and a energetic stage presence that will give you a full music program for your venue or function.
Acoustic Show. Easy Listening music from the likes of Van Morrison, Paul Kelly, Pete Murray, Cat Stevens and some original tunes etc.. ideally suited for background music in restaurants or hotels and clubs for times when the clientele want to relax and chat.
Easy Listening (sequenced) similar to the above but with quality backing tracks, suitable for listening or dancing and featuring some tasteful electric guitar playing to complement the vocals. This package suits functions such as weddings and birthdays as the wide repertoire can satisfy ages from 16 to 60.
The Rock Show. Classic Hits from the 60s to today with a harder edge than above, designed to get the audience off their seats and onto the dance floor. This package contains a high percentage of Classic Aussie Rock with songs from artists such as Oz Crawl, Cold Chisel, Angels and AC/DC as well as all the popular most requested songs from Summer of 69 to Copperhead Road and current charting songs from Snow Patrol, Kaiser Chiefs and Hinder
Blues/Roots/Country/Acoustic. A show containing elements of all these musical genres from Blues Standards to Jaggers' originals delivered acoustically and/or with electric guitar and backing.
Your Choice. Make up a mix of all the above to suit your needs. It's a well worn phrase "Something for everyone" but it suitably describes what Tony Jaggers can offer................................................................................

Dear Friends, Well, it's been six months since my abdominal surgery, and finally the music is starting to flow again. I've written two new songs "Bridge Of Shadows" and something a little different for me called "Looking Glass Man"...my first song using a Strat. I've never owned a Stratocaster before, was always a Les Paul guy (still am). But my wife promised me a new Strat if I just acted brave; and survived the surgery of course. I guessed the Fender would influence me in some "twangy way", but I never imagined it would be a Johhny Cash way, (not that I'm complaining, always kind of liked him). So if you get the chance, please stop by and give them a listen. All my very best to you, and thanks for being friends through some really tough times for me, Your friend, David
