It is a solo act that starts out with some Acoustic guitar pieces and vocal songs some original and some by groups like Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead, Dylan, Beatles, etc. He eventually goes "out" with some psychedelic improv and come back in to another piece of music much like the Grateful Dead. Matt also does a writers night called "The Flush" Sunday January 4th sometime between 9pm and 9:30 at the Commodore Lounge on west end across from Centennial park.

Timmy has worked as a radio DJ for over 16 radio stations Timmy was the road/tour manager/guitar tech for legendary guitar player Dick Dale. He has worked as Media Relations for writer, arranger, producer, original bass player, and multi Grammy award winner KC and The Sunshine band Rick Finch. He sang lead vocals on a political parody song that was played over and over on several radio shows, including the nationally syndicated “Thom Hartman Show”. Timmy was the Executive Producer for Mark Lindsay’s (former lead singer of Paul Revere and the Raiders- the guy who sang on ALL of their hits in the 60's and 70's) radio show “Mark Lindsay’s Rock n Roll Café”. He moved to Nashville, from Portland, OR in late November of this year, after getting fed up with the lack of music scene, and the crumbling corporate controlled radio industry of Portland. He currently works as a radio DJ at a local Nashville radio station, besides playing music. Pictured (at the right): Timmy onstage in front of 10,000 people at the " Oregon Jamboree", the middle is Timmy Ryan with Marv and Rindy Ross, the main members behind " Quarterflash." The last picture includes Jenna Smith, daughter of Raider Mike "Smitty" Smith sang in his swing/ rockabilly/ jazz band " Tim Ryan and The Pitbosses", as did her mom- Mike's widow at one point. |
Tiger Gagan
Tiger Gagan, aka Tim Gagan, is
a left handed slide guitar player.
His slide guitar playing is
ferocious fun. It's like Elmore
James and Link Wray going to
surf together. Tiger Gagan puts
his songwriting on songs that
will be a whole lotta doggone
fun for the audience, with
electric guitars, usually a
Telecaster, and homemade
tube amps he builds himself.
That's tube amplifiers, old
fashonied style. He gets a fine
raw southpay sound that's filled
with excitement and fun. He also
built his own lefty guitar, that red
Telecaster. He performs as a
solo act, singing and playing
slide guitar, and also as a
leader of the instrumental blues
rock and surf trio Wild Animal.
It's slide guitar, it's ferocious, it's
fun.
Elmore James and Link Wray
never played music on a
southpaw guitar. They both
used an amplifier; Elmore was
known to use a Magnatone
amp, while Link Wray cut holes
in his speakers to make it
sound more exciting. Elmore
James was also known to
modify his amps and guitars,
and his music had a profound
affect on Tiger.
Tiger Gagan started traveling
early. When he was two months
old, he took an airplane trip from
St. Louis, MO to live in
Albuquerque, NM. From the
ashes of his first band that
played original music rather
than cover tunes, Tiger formed a
musical partnership with Scott
Cadenasso. This is a
partnership that re-emerges in
some form or another just about
anytime Tiger returns to Santa
Fe. In an early foray away from
that partnership, a harrowing
experience with a Top 40 circuit
band brought Gagan an ever
greater belief in the beauty of
playing his own music.
With that on his mind,
he moved to Seattle in 1982.
Working in a restaurant with
future members of Seattle punk
band Gas Huffer, Gagan
developed an appreciation for
slam dancing. Also while in
Seattle, he finally got to see a
longtime idol, Buddy Guy. In the
meantime, Tiger returned to
New Mexico, at first resuming
his partnership with
Cadenasso. When the seminal
Santa Fe punk band, 27 Devils
Joking lost their original guitar
player, Gagan stepped in to
soak up the rush of energy
generated by the slam dancers.
That rush was nonetheless
insufficient to keep the
wanderlust at bay--after a
couple years, Gagan left the
Devils and took a turn south
toward Latin America.
Graduating in 1992, Tiger
returned to Santa Fe and spent
three years working running an
office and organizing
fundraising events by day, while
moonlighting as a country guitar
player and a Bicho by night.
After another trip to South
America, circumstances once
again took him back to New
Mexico, this time to form the
world's only double doubleneck
lefthand band with his brother
Joe. For nearly a decade, Tiger
divided his time between hard-
rocking Gagan Bros Band gigs
and road trips, building guitar
amplifiers, teaching guitar, and
hosting blues jams.
As the doubleneck adventures
were slowly winding to a close,
Tiger was recruited into Bing, a
motley experimental/world-
music crew consisting of
accordion, tuba, electric bass,
saxophone, electric guitar,
drums, and vocals. Musically
invigorating though that was,
Tiger was ready to move on
again. In 2006 he came to
Nashville, where he now heads
up Wild Animal, a double-duty
combo that leads one life as an
instrumental blues-rock-surf trio
and a a second backing the
great Blues singer Mississippi
Millie. Tiger and Millie also
perform as duo, known as--what
else?--Mississippi Millie and
Tiger Gagan. What is the sum of
all this music and travelling
around? A musician in
possession of a distinctive slide
guitar style that world renowned
picker Jerry Donahue calls “truly
unique and gratifying.”

November '08 Play It AgaIn Jam
The December 2008 jam went
great! We had several musicians
to show up from the last jam
including Mike Broward, Dustin
Melton, and Timmy Ryan. Tom
Reisner from the old (2006-2007
fairgrounds area) jam came.
We also had many new players
and singers to show up
including Matt Jacobs, Mitchell
Savage, Robert Kinsall and
others. The core band this
month included Kenny Utterback,
Andy Olsen and band leader
Walter Jowers.
The songs varied from Paul
Revere & The Raiders to Led
Zeppelin. Chip Curley from
www.NashLinks.com came.
We are currently working on the
December jam page, with
pictures and videos. I am
working on the December 2008
Jam page, and need some
material. Promote yourself.
I have plenty of good pictures &
videos, but need some
information on the players
at the jam. I'm looking for bio
information, projects you are
promoting, any news stories
about yourself, your story of
moving to Nashville, your
opinion of the Nashville music
scene, or any related items.
Anything to make the page
interesting, besides just having
pictures and videos. Send
emails to
pat@tennesseeconcerts.com.
Message from
drummer
Gary Allen:
The Play It Again Jam returns
Sunday, November 30th and
December 28th, with host Gary
Allen along with the jam sponsor,
Pat Adams of Tennessee
Concerts. The Nashville
Footstompers are all jam alumni,
including Walter Jowers-guitar,
from James Brown's house band
and syndicated writer. "Fast"
Kenny Utterback guitarist from
Pacific Gas & Electric
Plus the one and only
Andy Olsen, distant relative
to Jimmy Olsen and
the Olsen Twins.
Drummers: bring
your stick bags!
Guitarists: please bring a small
18 watt amp with a 10" or 12" and
no pedal boards/gadgets etc., as
they take up space, get stepped
on and require extra time to dial
you into the mix. Singers are
welcome
to bring their own mikes
if they prefer.
We will know more about the
logistics of the new jam after the
first one on November 30th at
the new place.
We most likely will have a
keyboard, but if you play keys
and have a compact rig, you may
bring it.
The jam will expand back to its
original format (twice a month) in
2009.
You can get pictures, videos, and
current jam information from the
jam page at
TennesseeConcerts.com/jam
compliments of
Pat Adams, the original sponsor
of this shindig.
Everyone is invited as long as
you can walk a straight line and
pass a musical IQ test.
I require a piano player to play
Last Date by Floyd Cramer.
What?!
I'm sorry, but if I played keys I
would know it, and I was always
expected to know Wipe Out.
We look forward to seeing you
and meeting like minded
players, oh yeah...
GO TITANS!
