Jester has been active in the Fort Collins music scene for years, but lately his musical attention has been on his band, Eclectic Pickup. With a focus on original tunes, they started as a pickup band, with numerous players drifting in and out.  

Now, they’ve settled into a core lineup of Liam Baur (drums), Jacob Mills (bass), Jester (guitar/vocals), and Rob Price (guitar/vocals). The sense of musical community continues as guest player sit in occasionally to fill out the sound. In particular Simon Cabrera (percussion) and Chris Ingham (sax) frequently join us.

It’s a jam, but this isn’t your typical jam band. While the music is rooted in rock, blues, and funk, the shows are a jazz-like experience. The songs, whether original or covers, are always fresh reinterpretations, depending on the players and the chemistry that session. Visit Eclectic Pickup to see more about the  band.
