New custom pedal board I built. Power port on the side which runs power to the power strip inside where there’s plenty of room for storing extra cables and such. Handle on the front and a clasp on top to keep it from coming open while carrying.

My pedal line goes: Wah —> Compression/Sustainer —> Overdrive-1 —> Blues Driver-2(crunch) —> 10 band EQ —> Delay —> Reverb —> Volume Pedal

Can’t wait to play my custom guitar through it. That should be ready in a couple weeks. Check back for news on that!

There’s Jaime, driving down I5 while Derek plays some jams on the ipod. LCD Soundsystem was the band of the trip, btw. Fantastic tunes.

Jokers & Jacks is a band founded by brothers Morgan and Jaime May. After four years playing professionally together as an acoustic duo, the brothers decided to expand and add Derek “Dynamic D” Wilson on the drums and Brendan “Brendelane” Delaney on bass. Their original songs are new and fresh, yet evoke an echo of times passed. But make sure to listen for occasional covers spanning decades of their pop/rock influence. The sound is great pop/rock that crosses genres effortlessly. Listen and you can hear it. Morgan and Jaime have crafted a strong portfolio of original music, held together by unique guitar interplay and their signature vocal harmonies.

Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, this pop/rock group have been playing up and down the West Coast and all around Portland getting rave reviews and making new fans at every stop. From the stage at House of Blues, to clubs in LA, and a smash opening for Rock Icon, Leon Russell, in Northern California, they have arrived on the scene and they are making believers out of music lovers of all ages. You can see them regularly in Southeast Portland at the Mt Tabor Theatre.

Listen to one of their original recordings and you will understand. See a live performance and you will walk away knowing you have experienced a group that is making their presence known, and will be writing and playing music for their fans for a long time to come.

Get their music and give it a listen. What you hear you will want to hear again. See them live and have a great musical experience. They have something to communicate, and they do it well. They are young and fresh on the scene, but their musical roots run deep.
