The Miggins
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.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not currently. Jay and Terry had several bands years ago that played live. This current project is studio only right now.
Your musical 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.
What equipment do you use?
A computer. Sonar XL 1.3. Various Guitars. A Roland GR-33 Guitar Synth. Line 6 Pod. Live Synth. Various amplifiers and special effects units. Our imaginations.
