Ippie Music has always been a completely original venue. The writer plays all of the instruments by ear. Originally a drummer, the beats carried over into a different type of guitarist. An intuitive ear for "slightly different" music. The genre is varied. After a thirty plus year recluse Ippie Music has been back since November of 2008. Over 100 songs have been written or re-written in that time, with no end in sight for his music. Ippie Music should have a song for you. Bound to no genre, the results are limitless. Please enjoy.
Why this name?
That is a very long discussion.
Do you play live?
Yes, I play live at venues that allow original music. My all time goal is to play Austin City Limits and The Imperial Theatre in Augusta, GA This is what I want to do...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Contact me and lets talk...I would prefer to write.
Band History:
Ippie Music started in the late 60's and into the early 70's with original songs coming from Russell Oglesby, who was the drummer, and members of a band called "Five Bum Train." "The Bummers" a group of friends that loved to play music and have a good time developed into a life long friendship. After moving to Georgia Russ stopped playing music altogether. Never far from music but not involved or playing, he always seemed to have songs in his head. Who knows how many have been lost. A revelation one night brought Russell back into music composition once more and Ippie Music was created. Since then he has been trying to make up for lost time at a frantic pace. Self taught and playing all the instruments by ear can be a blessing and a curse. Each new song is hopefully bringing something new to the table of listening. All genres are likely to be used. Only the limited musical ability separates him for the songs he hears in his head.

Anything else...?
I am reasonably different. My music is varied. To create music is the most satisfying experience that I have ever had. To start with nothing and end up with a song is leaving a mark that is truly all yours and personal. To have someone enjoy that music is rewarding beyond measure.

Nice. Ippie's pervasively original talent is full of surprises as the marriage of instruments and vocals draws on a morphing of creativity to produce a blending of sounds typical of an innovative, original style born of innate, intuitive talent to delight the senses.

Straight ahead great blue performance…All blues elements are presence and accounted for. Each element, the beat, the vocals, and of course guitar solo are awesome…Enjoyed the ride…Real nice

West is best! I like it more and more each time I listen to it. Keep up the good work. Smooth blending that coalesces the acoustics into a very pleasant sound sensation.
