-[Interviewer] - Jason, tell me where this band come from?

How'd you put it together?

[Jason] - Originally, I had it going out of different incarnations of friends and stuff, and eventually, brought it down to a trio, and my bass player and drummer had to quit at the same time.

And I found these guys at a high school talent show, and they were smokin'.

So asked 'em if they wanted a job.

Been playing together ever since.

[Interviewer] What high school were you guys playing at?

[Jeremy Woerner] - Lincoln High.

[Interviewer] And were you in a group or what?

[Jeremy] - We've been playin' actually quite a bit.

He's about the only drummer I've ever played with.

And we just had another buddy that we just kind of screwed around with and like, did -Zeppelin covers together -[Dan] - Just playing for fun.

and stuff like that.

Yep, yep.

Not really a band or anything like that, just kind of- [Dan Irvin] - At Joy Night, the talent show.

[Interviewer] Did you grow up with this music?

Mmm-hm, when I was a kid, my dad played in the first house band at The Zoo Bar, and so we kind of grew up on it.

But it wasn't 'til I was a teenager, I kind of had to branch off and go through my own musical tastes and find myself, so to speak.

And of course, I wound back to the blues, and I don't know, I love it best, you know.
