Jester plays an eclectic mix of rock, funk, Americana, blues, and reggae. His primary focus is on original songs, drawing on diverse influences like Elvis Costello. Carlos Santana, Jeff Tweedy, and Jack White, but his covers also range across time and genre, from Procol Harum’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale” and Dire Straits’ “Romeo And Juliet” to “Drive” by Incubus and “Evil Friends” by Portugal. The Man.

Jester learned “dedication to groove” playing in the Colorado Springs band Cool Runnings and it has guided his musical journey ever since. His band, Eclectic Pickup, showcases this as they play around Northern Colorado. Jester recently played in Heart Tribe and puts on solo and duo shows.

Finally, if anyone knows a band looking for a bass player, he’s interested in contributing his 5-string.
