Searching to satisfy the wide musical tastes of the current audience, while yet maintaining the integrity of pursuing artistic challenge and reward: there are only a handful of musicians who continuously strive for such modest enrichment and overall appeal. Maybe it was to remedy discontent, futile aspirations, or merely to pursue a higher ground, but four such individuals have come together with mutual interests to formulate the band Jelly Dogg.

Like a good wine, Jelly Dogg was slowly perfected over several years.

	Jason, the guitarist, an import from the woods of Virginia, resolved to step beyond the oft-repeated interpretations of the infamous classics. With his heart in one hand and a smoking-gun-like guitar in the other, his patient self instruction provided his musical foundation with elements of Eddie Van Halen and echoes of Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains. Wittingly, Jason still seems to hold steadfast to the child-like playfulness of down-home rock-n-roll. After several years becoming familiar with St. Louis, Jason was introduced to a vocalist named Vince through a mutual friend.
	Vince, a native to St. Louis, is educated in the musical theory of the classical Greats and conditioned by the music revival of the latter half of the century. Throughout his youth, he enveloped himself with original inspiration and was motivated through musical creativity. However, soon after his acquaintance with Jason in autumn of 1999, Vince was invited to rehearse with Jason's current band with hopes of similar musical aspirations. This assimilation opened the doors to several small performances in local venues and pubs. After several years fell away, and band members' mutual interests began to waver, the restless band was contacted by the bassist, Jay.
	Jay's artistic flair hints of his ancestral roots that stem from the bayous of Louisiana, yet bear the upbringing of the heart and soul of St. Louis. His adept intuition with music brings to life its hidden beats and low soothing rhythms, which empowered Jay to immediately accompany Jelly Dogg. Although Jay's ambition further motivated the band's craft, the band still lacked the savvy of a technical percussionist. Attempting to overcome any superficial notions vexing the band, Scott was soon petitioned (whose adherence to detail soon exceeded the band's minimal preconditions).
	Scott, a New England native, was quickly drafted into Jelly Dogg late in the spring of 2003. His self-challenging idealism and consistency provided a technical facet that was soon coveted by the rest of the members. Scott thrived on originality and innovative dynamics. His aggressive style could only be equaled to harnessing thunder in a box. This charisma supplemented the band's zealousness and ambition. Since Scott's appearance, no one anticipated his expedient aptitude and mastery of his position in Jelly Dogg. This revelation accented the desire to perform before an audience.

Jelly Dogg is a St. Louis band with passion and jovial performance. The band's charisma may beckon an inebrious audience, yet still challenge the music devotee. Jelly Dogg has sustained the ability to fuse the on-going movement of the musical industry and still maintain the self-integrity of music appreciation. Let the memories in your life include the Jelly Dogg experience.

Or something like that.

For the record, the eloquent words above were penned not by Scott, but by none other than Vincent J. Bryson, vocalist – and writer – extraordinaire!
