THE SALTGRASS BAND 

The Saltgrass Band is based in Lake Jackson, Texas and has played bluegrass music for many years. We 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 current members of the band are: 

Jimmy Fischer - banjo, guitar, vocals. Jimmy lives in Lake Jackson, Texas. He has been in the group about 25 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, Texas and has been with the group about  20 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, Texas. and has been in the group about 14 years.  He does most of the M.C. work. His bass playing holds the rhythm and is rock solid. 

Timmy Fischer-mandolin, vocals. Timmy lives in Lake Jackson, Texas and has played with the group about 6 years. He provides another great vocal as well as some fine guitar and mandolin picking. He loves to sing and play bluegrass.  

Jeff Hagen-fiddle. Jeff lives in Navasota, Texas and is the newest member of the band. Although he may not be able to make every appearance, because of work schedule, he will make most gigs and his fiddle playing is worth listening to.  He is one of the best.  

The Saltgrass Band has made live radio and television performances as well as numerous personal appearances in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.
