band February 25, 2007

We live in Columbus, Ohio. One-time or current home of Rahsaan Roland Kirk, The Columbus Chill, Jim Shepard, Woody Hayes, Greg Oden, James Thurber, Nancy Wilson (the jazz singer, not the Heart singer), Bill Moss, Necropolis, Bizzy Bone, Bela Koe-Krompecher, and White Castle.

Our names are Jake Housh, Ted Hattemer, Greg Bonnell, Jerry Dannemiller. We have been a band since about 1994. We’ve made seven records and many singles in that time. We’ve toured a little, not a lot. Only when time and circumstances allow. The bands we’ve played with and learned from are too many to mention. We all hold jobs at The Ohio State University, not in the same department (although we used to).

Parker Paul sits in with us on piano now.

Scotty Tabachnick played in the band for a long time and now lives in Brattleboro, VT. We miss him and wish we could visit Brat more often.
