If you like pop tunes with a good beat and catchy lyrics try the music of Jag Star…

Jag Star formed in 1998 rocked out of Knoxville, TN., until recently when they moved to Nashville to be involved in the songwriting atmosphere. Their genres are pop, rock, alternative, and indie. They have toured 15 countries besides the U.S. and have played for our troops several times.

Sarah has won several awards for songwriting.

She won the USA Songwriting Competition for overall winner in 2002 and 2006. In the 2001 John Lennon Songwriting Competition she was runner up and she won the 2007 Next Big Hit Competition, which inspired iTunes to give Jag Star a week’s feature spot.

The band recorded “A Different Road” for the MTV show Newport Harbor, which was featured December 12, 2007.

On to some of their poppin’ tunes…The chiming cymbals in the song “Something Different” sound great and the guitar is driving on the down-stroke. Sarah reminds me of Lisa Lobe. The guitar drives a little harder in “Does Anybody Know” and the drumbeat is a bit more prominent. The opening guitar riff is nice.”Ridiculous” is a jumpin’ tune. “Disguise” opens with a spoken line and then a keyboard riff; it’s a more dramatic song than the others mentioned.

Band Members:
Sarah Lewis the singer/songwriter/keys
Just J on guitars
Brad Williams on drums
Drew Gilch on bass
Jay Daniel on bass

Jag Star’s influences are Garbage, Imogen Heap, No Doubt, Maroon 5, and The Killers.

Ok, Woody Guthrie fans, I told you that more posts about Woody would be coming up on Deltachord’s Blog; especially posts about which artists have-written music for his lyrics that he didn’t compose music for. And here goes. First we’ll explore what the Dropkick Murphys have done with some of Woody’s lyrics. Dropkick Murphy fans are also welcome to explore.

But first, a little about The Dropkick Murphys…they originally played for kicks in Boston in a basement under a barber shop. They have recorded Cd’s with quite a few groups like Oxymoron, the Business, Face To Face, Agnostic Front, Bruisers, Anti Heroes, and the Ducky Boys.

On Blackout, which came out in 2003 they recorded “Gonna Be a Blackout Tonight” and they did a video for the song. Woody actually wrote the “Blackout” lyrics about WWII blackouts in London. According to Rolling Stone writer John D. Luerssen the band’s guitarist Ken Casey said they wanted to do the song they made “Blackout” the most hard driving song on the album because they wanted it to be very different from what Woody’s approach would have been.

“The record still contains rousing tunes rooted in Irish music & American Folk (Black Velvet Band & The Dirty Glass) and destined to be a Boston Bruins call to arms classic called “Time To Go”.” (Epitaph Records) Blackout is their fourth album. Which was also released on 10″ vinyl boasting 5 songs.

Bruce Springsteen is a Dropkick Murphys fan because they are so loyal to their fans in that they have built a community of people that they consider friends. This aspect is part of their roots in the working class and Irish heritage appeal and they live it. They are from Quincy, a suburb of Boston. The Dropkick Murphys play punk that includes bagpipes and tin whistles. Their repertoire includes political songs, friendship ballads, and bar songs.
