tribute band The Blue Moon Project, he is happy to join the Vista boys in the
drum chair. Iggy would also like to point out that he is one of only
three members in the band who is not engaged or married...and one of the other

I started out this music journey on violin. After my parents were
advised "Jimmy is too rampageous for violin "I started playing trumpet all the
way into high school. The need to play rock-n-roll by the likes of Jimi
Hendrix, Deep Purple, Mott the Hoople pushed me towards the drums. I've had the pleasure of playing with Legal Tender, Random Order, The Lucy Parks Grass Band, The Three Piece Band, Gladstone Bag, Electric Medicine, Maji, The Preachers Mad
Daddy, The Forest City Ramblers, and now Vista Cruiser.

As a band, we have the ability to play anything - that is very cool!" Influences include Fozzie Bear, Ralph the Dog, and the two old guys in the theatre box. |
