Big Trouble Video From White Squirrel

My main job is cooking dinner for my family, doing dishes and raising two beautiful daughters and aspiring to be a great husband to my wonderful wife. On the side of that I am the Afternoon Host and Musical Director at Jazz88. And on the side of that I am a member of Heiruspecs, but we are relatively inactive at the moment. And when I say relatively inactive I really mean like all the way inactive. I send out records in the mail. I limp through paying our taxes. I tell folks who want to book us that we aren’t playing live at the moment. That doesn’t scratch my itch of being in a band.

But thankfully Big Trouble is having a bit of a renaissance. On the last Saturday of the month we are at the White Squirrel playing music from 6-8. If we were just rehashing the Big Trouble songbook of yesteryear that would be one thing but we are churning out new songs. And when I say churning I mean churning. My brother and Big Trouble guitarist Steve is probably averaging one and a half charts a month, me and guitarist Josh are probably hitting one a quarter and our drummer Peter Leggett just put two new ones together! Peter is a special writer who is deeply steeped in the harmonies and textures of ECM. The love of ECM sounds comes through loud and clear on his new original “Beneath the Mississippi.” The recording turned out great and I’m happy to share it with you here. Our next show is on April 26 over at the White Squirrel.
