ABOUT THE MURDERERS OF LOVE

JAIMIE GREW UP IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA, A GREAT LIVE MUSIC CITY WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF SOUNDS THAT BLEND INTO ITS OWN THING. IN FACT, IT'S ACTUALLY KNOWN AS "THE TULSA SOUND." IT'S A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF BLUES AND ROCK AND COUNTRY THAT HAS PRODUCED EVERYONE FROM LEON RUSSELL TO HANSON. AND THESE DAYS THERE IS A NEW SONGWRITER MOVEMENT IN THE TULSA AREA, WITH JOHN MORELAND AND JOHN FULLBRIGHT AND KEN POMEROY AND WILDERADO LEADING THE WAY. WHEN YOU ADD IT ALL UP, IT'S NOT ONE THING OR ANOTHER...IT'S JUST PLAIN GOOD MUSIC. AND THAT'S THE DNA OF THE MURDERERS OF LOVE.

It also gives unfamiliar listeners on streaming platforms a quick inside listen to what we’re doing here.

Outside the music world, you work with some great guitar makers. How did you get started playing guitar and what was the motivation?
I never wanted to be the worlds greatest guitar player. That was never a thought. I wanted to be a good enough guitar player to write songs and accompany myself singing them. Simple as that. There are some amazing guitarists in the world and it takes such dedication and time to get to that place. And, I think, the right kind of brain to do it. I would rather put that time into writing good songs, and then hope to get lucky enough to find one of those great guitar players to join me in bringing the songs to life. Having said that, I LOVE guitars. Everything about them. And I want my guitars to sound great and look great. I’ve been lucky enough in my graphic design life to team up with some of the best guitar makers in the world, which has worked out so that I now own some beautiful guitars. And I never take that for granted. Even at my level of guitar playing, having a world class guitar makes a big difference.

Who were your influences when it comes to songwriting?
The first guy that I got into that made me think I wanted to write my own songs was Dan Fogelberg. The first song I learned on guitar was “Crow” by him and his first few albums were what I learned to play when I was first learning chords. Jackson Browne. John Mellencamp’s Scarecrow album for sure. That first Steve Earle album was great as were the first Bodeans and Dwight Yoakam albums. They all came out about the same time and I was working in a record store in Tulsa just before I moved to California. Tracy Chapman. Gillian Welch. Those records really influenced me and made me think I could play music. In the following years I would say the biggest was Ryan Adams, as well as Josh Rouse, The Smithereens, Paul Westerberg, and a couple of pretty unknown bands called El Capitan and from Boston, Lemonpeeler. And in recent times Jeffrey Foucault, Caitlin Canty, and John Moreland. Whew…how’s that?

What is your goal with your music these days?
When I first started playing music, my only goal was to get up in front of people and have them like it. Next it was to play with other people competently, and I formed a duo called The Primates that helped me learn how to be a better musician. We were good enough to open up for the legendary Leon Russell in concert and play on TV. Next I wanted to be in a band. Then be in a band that played our own songs. All of those things happened, and we were lucky enough to open up for the likes of Cheap Trick, The Plimsouls, Joe Bonamassa, and lots of others and we even owned a bus and toured the United States a little. That was amazing. Once those days were over, I just wanted to continue to get better at writing songs and finding ways to share them with the world. And that’s what I’ve been doing for the last twenty years. To me it doesn’t matter if five people or 5000 people hear the music, the goal is to create it in the first place. The accomplishment isn’t how popular it is, it’s making the music and have fun doing it. So now I keep writing songs, recording them with friends, and putting them out there so that maybe someday my kids, grandkids or beyond will be able to listen to a song I wrote and recorded and they’ll have a little piece of me to take with them. A little insight into who their creative ancestor was.
