OUR FAVORITE PHOTO FROM BUDDY GUY'S LEGENDS
 
 
“I'm walking down 18th Street in the Bottom on a Saturday and I see this big guy in a tux with a lime green tie and green suede shoes standing on top of a Jeep, wailing on a guitar. After some staring and eye contact, he points to the door of the Cobblestone Brewery and tells me to go in, so I do. The rest of the night was an experience I won't forget. The big guy, Lem Roby, is one hell of a guitar player and showman. He walked around the bar talking to people while he played, strolled into the pool room, grabbed a cue stick, and played some of the best slide I've heard in a while. His band, Jack Salamander, covered everything from John Lee Hooker to Zappa.” –Richmond Music Journal
 
 

JACK SALAMANDER is currently in the studio working on a new CD called BARBECUE WINGTIPS to be released this summer. This disc will feature their bluesy mix of guitars and horns on a wonderful variety of original compositions.The two main songwriters on the new album are guitarist Lem Roby and Bassist Jon Rogers. Each has a unique approach to soulful, funky songs that will make you move, make you think, and make you laugh.

Their first CD A CHILD’S GARDEN OF JACK  was released in 1998 and featured Lem’s quirky songwriting and Jon’s uniquely musical fretless bass. Drummer Inderjeet Sidhu brought his powerful drums and subtle tablas to the mix. The new album adds the sweet trumpet and lowdown voice of Jerry (Da Yeti) Spiering, who has worked his magic with MWC and Thick Six as well.

Their live shows have been called: “Tasteful and tight, filled with the magical experience of the unexpected.” “Our kids had as much fun as we did!”

Freaky, funny, funky mind-bending music direct from Chicago. Among other things Jack is the World's Greatest Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band Tribute Band. Let the band take you on a musical voyage. And they will always play your favorite Jack Hits!
