04/09/12 Jumpin Jack Benny Sat On The Couch

The Jumpin Jack Benny Band is Benny Cortez (Vocals/Harmonica), Tony Fingers (Guitar), Eric Tice (Drums), Mike Stover (Bass), and Kirk Nelson (Keyboards).

On this night, Benny and Tony Fingers joined me on The Couch to discuss their careers, the band and the music they are making and hope to make in the future.

Out of LA, with its huge mix of blues styles comes the Jumpin Jack Benny Band. Their music is high-energy and you will need to be nailed to your seat to prevent you from hoping up and dancing when they start playing.

The discussion weaved its way from their early childhoods to the present day.

How did Benny and Tony meet? What was Benny looking for in a band when he realigned his band into its current lineup?

Does Tony Fingers think about his influences when he is writing music?

The answers and more are just a listen away...

Guitarist, singer, songwriter Little G Weevil is one of the most unique entertainers on the scene today.

Born in Hungary, he toured Europe before moving to Memphis, TN to immerse himself in the Blues. 

He has taken the advice given to him by Willie King to heart.  That advice?  Listen in to find out!

Now living outside Atlanta, Little G is making the music he dreamed of.

Little G and I discussed his journey and where he is headed while checking out tunes from his album The Teaser.
