About Me

The Bill Jerram Band plays vintage-styled rock and roll. Ahh, the song. Equally at home in Beatley power pop, shimmering southern soul or straight ahead roots music (or maybe it's something else altogether), these guys are translating the music they love. I guess let the music do the talking, then - these guys are a great, fun live band, too. Go see them play - they would like that. - Hugh Jariola {Austin Soapbox - October 22, 2005} - (C) Yerfolk, Kincaid & Me
