Hailing from the heart of the
midwest, comes one of the most original rock acts - Agnus Jackson. Originally formed by Mike Armato and Prezell
Davis then known as Ground
Control. Without a true full time bassist, Armato and Davis
began the
search. It was in 1999 the search was over. Larry Hill joined the duo
and Agnus Jackson was
formed. In early 2000 the band was ready to be
unleashed on the local music scene with Hill becoming not only the full
time bassist but also the voice of Agnus
Jackson. The band continued to
work on their originals and playing in as many venues as they possible
could gaining quite a solid fan base. With numerous press releases in
the Midwest over the next few years Agnus
Jackson worked countless
hours in the studio and on stage becoming a fan favorite. The band has
been recognized by many different medias having a song used in a
television commercial and receiving airplay on local radio stations. In
2004 was the band strongest year to date. Opening for numerous national
acts, being nominated for their first R.A.M.I.
Award, releasing their first CD Mesmerized
and
playing in many new venues. In late 2004 Agnus Jackson made
one final change to the line up. Jesse
Sacia was
asked to become a full time member and has added the rhythm guitar fill
to the unique sound that is Agnus
Jackson. Sacia also has an extensive
background in playing the drums, so it gives Armato a nice change of
pace to be able to come out front to please the crowd. Agnus Jackson is
looking to be the new standard for the future of Rock and Roll and will
be a sound that can't be ignored.
Agnus
Jackson has already opened, and taken the stage with many
veteran rockers such as: Uncle Kracker, Warrant, Great White, Joan Jett, .38 Special, Head East, Jimmy Van Zant, Lonnie Brooks, April Wine, and
many others. Thier live shows are incredible to say the least, and have
been known to upstage larger acts in which they have opened for.
Their first radio single "Dismissed" broke
the airwaves on WXRX-FM,
and WZOK-FMas well as thousands of mp3 downloads via DSN Music, and affiliate music sites.
