About Me

This was the performance of "So Much for Reciprocity" that won The Battle of the Bands at UIS for us:"Doncha Worry Bout Me" clip from MoJo's Jay Wheeler & Dustin Rogers met in Delafield, WI while attending military school. A good time was not had by all, but in that time, they picked up guitars instead of buying into the BS. Somewhere along the line, Mr. Rogers dropped the R & s and became Oger. After 2 years apart, the two have re-united to form the two-headed viper of musical justice known as "Jayger." With Rus Herington, their drummer, and Don White, their bassist, the four are attacking Springfield with a sense of extreme urgency.With a number of original songs and a repertoir of covers spanning from Radiohead and Jack Johnson to songs by bands like Alkaline Trio, Sponge, and The Killers, Jayger puts on a show that is fun and energetic. Jayger attempts to provide a party atmosphere but also knows when to tone down. They've played shows all over Springfield and have developed a fan base. They are currently recording their first album. Generate your own contact table!
