Rafael: Bass/vocals
The Emmerson Biggins Band
|
After years spent as a Television Sports Anchor in Odessa, TX; Laredo, TX
and Santa Barbara, CA, Rafael returned to pursue a career off camera in
Seguin and follow his passion for music. With influences such as Merle
Haggard, Buck Owens, and Johnny Cash, it's easy to see why his brand of
songwriting takes you back to the Texas Dance Hall days but still has a little
bit of an "hon'ry" side to it.
Jessie moved to San Marcos in '95 to study music at Southwest Texas State
University. At SWT he performed in various ensembles and studied with
very talented instructors, all of which helped him hone his skills as a
musician. Jessie has been a part of many bands in the area
including the Mike Sanford Band, Micah Harris and Rambling Fever Band
and others. His influences include Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Neil Peart,
Dave Weckl, Eddie Bayers and many more.."Country music is where I want
to be"...
