Band History
The Free Agents Band began in 2000 as a trio with Bruce Fairles (drums), Ofer Dagan (bass), and Jerry Staples (guitar, keyboards, sax & vocals).
In 2001 the trio wrote, recorded and produced the band's first CD, In the Network.
Sal Noguera joined the band when Bruce Fairles moved to London, although Bruce still performs periodically with band. Jim Bruton (keyboards) joined the band in 2005 and purchased a Hammond A100 with Leslie cabinet in 2007 for recording CD's # 2 and 3. The second disc, The International Project, has already been very successful in Israel.
Bruce McCabe has been playing with us semi regularly for the past several years.
The band's third CD, Jupiter Is Calling, is being recorded at Sal's Erinwood Studios, and is soon to be released.
All recorded material is original with some lyrics by Sue Veeck and Melissa Livingston-Staples.
