Jakes leg LIVE at the Station!

Deadheads in St. Louis know Jake’s Leg.  The band has been providing music for the scene for over 43 years, playing thousands of shows to generations of like-minded fans who just wanna keep on dancin’.  Maybe you’ve heard them in some dumpy little bar like the old Twenty North or at Busch Stadium: they’ve played ’em all and continue to do so on a regular basis.  And the band keeps growing.

Started as a duo by guitarists and vocalists Randy Furrer and Tim Fahy in the mid-1970s, lead guitarist Dave Casper soon joined the fold.  Players were added and the music grew, friends came and went.  Some of them had 10-year-or-longer stints with Jake’s Leg, which is a long career for most non-touring rock bands.  Bassist Joe Trunko came on board in 1990, followed in 1991 by keyboardist Bill Noltkamper, completing the core four that have been playing and singing together for the past 26 years. Ryan Wilhite, after a short stint as percussionist, took over the drum kit in 2005.  The sum of this is one of the longest-lasting bands in the country that plays a whole lot of your favorite songs and you’ll find them playing in and around St. Louis.
