WADE JACKSON & THE DREAMING PANTHERS

NEVER EAT ANYTHING BIGGER THAN YOUR HEAD

About Me

Hey I'm a Singer/Songwriter. That's the deal. I'm a keen observer of life. I believe in the power of music. I'm a sideman... and I throw as much reckless abandon into playing to others as I do into playing for myself.
I also love the challenge of quick and dirty recording, so you'll see a lot of that. For instance, this is a song recorded on a PC mic called "Time Away." It's a blues in 12/8 time.... you don't hear that every day, do you?

ABOUT ME:

First off, I subscribe to the Webb Wilder Credo. What is the Webb Wilder Credo? Why it's
"Work Hard
Rock Hard
Eat Hard
Sleep Hard
Grow Big
Wear Glasses If You Need 'Em"

-- Webb Wilder Credo
This is what I do:
Singer/Songwriter/Solo Artist - I'm NOT an American Idol. I am NOT a Rockstar. I AM a DIY poster child songwriter. I hope you can get behind that.
Like me, the songs span the sinner/saint spectrum - songs of peace, songs of turmoil, beauty, frenzy, love, anger, lust, repentance, joy, faith. Not everything is brilliant, not everything is complex, but hopefully all is compelling somehow.Band Member/Bassist/Sideman - I try to spend most of my time as bassist/guitarist/vocalist in whatever projects I can get involved in. Love the guitar, love the bass. Can't decide. Love to see you dance, smile, laugh, or just get any reaction mostly. Come see me.
You'll also find me playing bass for country rock bad girl Glitter Rose supporting her latest CD release "Southern Comfort."

So that means you can look for quick and dirty tunes from me and THE DREAMING PANTHERS on this site, or you might meet me out playing at one of YOUR parties. (woot)
I try to post something new here every couple of weeks. If it's new, it's guaranteed to have been recorded a few hours before. We'll be putting up whatever pops into our heads mostly and just hoping you like it. No overthinking things.
The rest of the time I'm out there slugging away in a dance band, hopefully making YOU dance... Like I said, come see me.

I’m through chasing windmills...

The bad thing about chasing windmills is the concussion you get when you finally catch them.  Selah.
