Brazoria County Bluegrass Club - June 14, 2008
The July show and jam for the Brazoria County Bluegrass Club  was Saturday, July 12, 2008 at the American Legion Hall in West Colombia, Texas.  Two of the Saltgrass Band members were unable to be there, so George Hanson joined Jimmy to start the show.  Later, Timmy was able to come and he joined George and Jimmy for another set.  They performed songs from the days when George was a member of Saltgrass and songs from the present day band along with many requests from the fans.

THE SALTGRASS BAND
 

Hello from southeast Texas! The Saltgrass Band is based in Lake Jackson, Texas and has played bluegrass music for many years. They try to include a mix of traditional and contemporary bluegrass music with every performance. There is always a gospel song or two and maybe a couple of funnies during the performance. The group’s latest recording project, Slow Ride In the Fast Lane, includes 6 original tunes. Every performance is an event you could bring your wife, mother, or daughter to without fear of being embarrassed. They are proud of the fact that their shows are for the entire family!

The Saltgrass Band has been in existence for over 20 years. The current members of the band are: 

Jimmy Fischer - banjo, guitar, vocals. Jimmy lives in Lake Jackson, Tx. He has been in the group about 23 years. His "driving banjo technique" provides a foot stompin' sound that few can duplicate. He writes many songs. Just recently, he wrote Stars, Stripes Tattered and Torn. This is the title song of one of their CD’s.

John Brockett - guitar, vocals. John lives in Magnolia, Tx. and has been with the group about 18 years. His superb tenor voice will definitely get your attention, whether the song is an old bluegrass classic or a mellow gospel tune. John's rhythm guitar playing is terrific. He knows where the "sweetspot" is on his Martin D-28 Guitar

Jim Lowery - bass, vocals. Jim lives in Spring, Tx. and has been in the group about 12 years. He sings some lead and also compliments the group with his backup singing. He does most of the M.C. work. His bass playing holds the rhythm and is rock solid. He will try to a find jam session while attending festivals.

Timmy Fischer-mandolin, vocals. Timmy lives in Lake Jackson, Tx. and has played with the group about 3 years. He provides another great vocal as well as some fine guitar and mandolin picking. He loves to sing and play bluegrass. The band is using his talents more and more with every performance. You’ll find him around jam sessions at a festival also. He loves to pick.  

The Saltgrass Band has made live radio and television performances as well as numerous personal appearances in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. They love getting out and meeting folks. They like to play the music and have fun on and off the stage.
