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.
