l
 Hailing from
the heart of the
midwest, comes one of today's 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 Midwest music scene, with Hill becoming not only the
full
time bassist, but also the post of lead vocals.
The group
has
been recognized by various media sources, having a single placed in a
television commercial and receiving airplay on regional rock radio
stations. In
2004, the group was nominated for their first R.A.M.I.
Award, after releasing their debut CD Mesmerized
and followed by a regional tour. Their first
radio single from the album Dismissed broke
the airwaves on regional midwest rock radio stations.
 The group features Larry “Elwood” Hill on
lead vocals and bass, James Scott
on guitar, and Loren Swiggum
on drums and percussion. 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.
In 2010, the
group returned to the studio to record their second full
length album release One Night Stand
on DSN
Music. The new project
featured the radio single Fast
Nights as
well as 10 other diverse rock tracks. In 2012, DSN Music announced it would
features Agnus Jackson's radio hit Dismissed on the
label's rock compilation album Soundtrack
to the End
Times.
