A message from Lee
First thing you may be asking is who? If you have been to a JNH Band show in the last year or so, most likely we have met or you have seen me there. I like to refer to myself as the bands “stalker”, but in a good way. When I made the statement to Jud that the band needed to update their blogs more frequently he said “I am a rockstar, like I have time for that”. O.K., that isn’t what he said exactly, instead he created me a password and said “go for it”. So here it goes.
People ask me why I “stalk” JNH Band and that is an easy question to answer. They are fantastic. They have awesome personalities (yeah, even that one) and are wonderful musicians. Over the past year I consider them more than just a band that I hear play, I consider them to be my talented family. I was very sad when Barry packed his bandanas and washboard and said goodbye. Then one evening Zach walked in Arizona’s in Shakopee and blew us all away on open mic night. He auditioned for the band and what an amazing talent he is. Kind of freakish in a way because he knows the words to every song ever written. (That may be a slight exaggeration). These guys all compliment one another quite well. Jud has an amazing talent for creating songs on the fly. If you pay attention during the performance you will find yourself laughing, since Jud loves to change the verses and words to see who is really listening.
Whether you go to a solo Jud show, duo, trio, or full band they are fantastic. So check the schedule and plan for an evening of great music. Hope to see you at many shows in 2012. – Lee
