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!
