JAMIE WERNER - BASS, LEAD/BG VOCALS

Jamie has been a part of the band for many years…even before it was called “Midnight Sun”. He and Kevin met at a jam session in 2012, and they have been performing music together ever since. Jamie is dedicated to the bringing life to the low end of the music. As a 40 year veteran Bassist, he says “it is amazing to be playing Rhythm and Blues music from a song list that spans six decades”.

Jamie learned to play guitar at 11 years old, and switched to Bass guitar “temporarily” in the early 80’s until their touring band “Synergy” could find a replacement Bass player. He found the sonic range and precise rhythm required to play Bass guitar so pleasing, he stayed with it and has continued on the quest to perfect his playing to best suit the music and style of this seven piece Rhythm and Blues powerhouse band. “I’ve played almost every style of music on the Bass. Everything from Jazz standards on a standup, to Classic Rock, Pop, and Country, and this is by far the most fulfilling and challenging genre of music to perform on a Bass guitar”.

Come see a performance of Kevin Jaxon & Midnight Sun and “Feel” the heart pumping rhythm Jamie provides for the dancers and low-end lovers of this popular Southwest Rhythm and Blues dance music experience.
