THE COURT JESTER BIO
Returning in 2006 with their sophomore
release, “STRANGELAND,” Cellar Records recording artist,
Court Jester, has musically matured and proved their boasts of being
the premier Whiskey Rockers in the U.S. Coming quickly off the heels
of “Low Down’s” [Gina; Cellar Records ©2003]
successful run at commercial radio across the nation, Court Jester is
returning to the scene with an all new album and an all new live line-up.
“Strangeland” truly marks the growth of the band’s
musicianship. Dan Boehne has now taken the reins and stepped up to the
mic becoming the new voice of Court Jester, and has brought a new rawness
to the band that seems to have rejuvenated the band. Accompanied by
founding member, James Azrael on guitars; Producer, Todd Joos on bass;
Bob “the Birdman” Brady on drums; and featuring special
guest Dizzy Reed of Guns N’ Roses on piano and Hammond C2 Organ.
Focusing on their hard rock and blues roots with “Strangeland,”
Court Jester really hits home with songs like “Hollywood Girl,”
“Ain’t Comin’ Back,” and “They Can’t
Catch Me.” And songs like “This Life” really let Dan’s
new vocal duties shine and also prove why Dizzy Reed is one of the top
keyboardists in rock today. The epic love song, “Destiny’s
Dance,” brings in a full string section and proves without a doubt
that these guys have musically matured and will continue to surprise
their fans. And the personal homage and cover of the heart-tearing Motorhead
tune, “1916,” sums up and closes the album leaving the listener
in awe.
The excitement doesn’t end with the music on the album either.
Long time fan and friend of Court Jester, infamous comic book artist
Tone Rodriguez (Conan, Simpson’s Tree House of Horrors, Violent
Messiahs) brought his pen to the table and designed the artwork for
the new album cover. In addition, the coloring is done by DC Comics
colorist, Wes Dzioba (Hawkman, Superman: Secret Files)
