The Miggins
NEWS
May 2005: Added a ton of new songs. Many are rough sketches or in need of final mixes. Yet each has a something unique and still worth a listen... or two.
February 2005: 'Sway', 'The Far Away Near' and 'The Road' were submitted to Taxi.com, approved and passed on to Rebel Yell Entertainment for soundtrack consideration in their productions.

Brothers Terry, Brendan and Jay Miggins
Terry has played guitar for over 30 years. Brendan handles production, recording, mixing, and synth programming. Jay plays guitar as well as drums, although we aren't set-up to record real live drums just yet. Compositions are written by one, two or all members. Our studio is pretty much a place to experiment, our songs grow out from that environment.

Why this name?
Born with it.
Do you play live?
Not currently. Jay and Terry had several bands years ago that played live. This current project is studio only right now.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
As corporate music got bigger and bigger, it seemed that there was less and less choice. Now with the internet, independent artists can be heard more easily. And music lovers can now see that there is a brilliant world of music out there beyond the corporate music market.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Wouldn't that be nice. But we'd settle for being handsomely paid to do film and television soundtracks.
Your influences?
We are eclectics. Terry and Jay grew up being influenced by the Beatles and the Eagles. Brendan grew up listening to everything from Bacharach and Bossa Nova pop to Daniel Lanois to Arvo Part. Mom and Dad Miggins, who grew up during the big band era and WWII, passed on their love of that era of music to their sons. Terry has for years been studying the great guitarists like Chet Atkins, Larry Carlton, and Mark Knophler.
Favorite spot?
The here and now.
Equipment used:
