Ziggy Jagger is:
OK, this section is getting tougher! Let's see if this describes it well...
The original "Ziggy Jagger" is:
Tom Irish (lead vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, harmonica, maybe even some keyboards)
Will Hagenlocher (drums, lead and background vocals)
Jeff Poremski (bass guitar)
Then came
Jared Johnson (sound/recording engineer, keyboards, bass, guitar, background vocals) who asked if he could play keys after recording us.
And after that his brother
Chris Johnson (bass guitar) was invited to join us allowing Jeff to move to lead guitar.
For the first year of the band, this was the line up, with Ross Vumbacco filling in on drums where Will had a conflict, and people kind of coming and going around the three piece as schedules dictated. Jared can't play when he's touring with The Samples, and Chris was only available for the summer (and is still available on a three day weekend or some special event). Ben Butterworth has filled in on bass since the beginning of the school and Duane Carleton filled in for Jeff for a couple of weeks while he was touring with Jim Gilmour. At our anniversary gig, Jeff announced that he was going to have to limit his involvement along the lines of how Chris does.
In the meantime, Ben is playing bass with us regularly, and we've gone back to three piece. I'm psyched. We're still taking the same approach, and last week Steve Audsley stopped in and played some lead for a few.... Something tells me we'll be getting more notable locals in and just see where it goes. I do know that for this next round, I'm going to try to bring out some new original material. There's usually something different going on at any one of our "shows" whether we're 3, 4, or 5 piece....
As promised too long ago, here's some of the tunes that we recorded LIVE in December... It's raw by design - no punching in after the fact - it is what is :-) We'll have some stuff from the anniversary party up as time permits.
I've got a "Mick schtick" that doesn't get out with Ziggy Jagger too much, though with the addition of Chris, that's changing. My friend Terry (who's not on myspace) shot some DV at The Wobbly Barn Halloween night and put together this little compilation... Here's a taste of what Halloween was like in Killington with Joey Leone's Chop Shop... (The guy in the tights is me!)
