"We are just a little power trio blues band hailing from Colorado Springs. Despite the age difference between us though we still make great music, with our own sound."

"Best Blues Rock Band" May 2011
The first question most folks asked when Jake Loggins hit Colorado Springs was: “How is that amazing blues sound coming from that skinny little kid?”
Jake, who’s now 27, was 16 when his father, Lobo Loggins, invited him to play with his blues band at Laura Belle’s Lounge. Jake had been just a helper, hauling equipment.
Jake’s dad had brought an extra guitar to the gig that night, but Jake didn’t know why until his dad said, “Come up and do that thing I showed you that one time.’”
“That thing” turned out to be “Hey, Joe,” the ’60s standard popularized by Jimi Hendrix.
Jake remembers that the bass player wasn’t thrilled about letting the kid on stage to play a rock tune. “‘We ain’t playing that! That’s no *&@ing blues!’”
But the blues purist let the kid play. And, despite his parents’ warnings not to follow in their musical footsteps, Jake became a blues man.
His first local band was Jake Loggins and Spare Change, composed of Jake and whichever musicians he could pluck from other local bands for the night, paying spare change.
His current blues rock group — the Jake Loggins Band — has become one of the premier nightclub acts in the Pikes Peak region. But he says his one or two gigs a week is a big slow-down from where he was a couple of years ago.
“The scene is completely different,” he says. “I’m so grateful to have work, but at the same time, it’s kind of depressing.”

csindy.com: Best Musician 2010
"I'm surprised people even remember our name, much less vote for us," says Jake Loggins. Of course, he shouldn't be. As a teenage blues-rock prodigy, Jake Loggins quickly established himself as a mainstay of the local music scene. Now in his mid-20s, the Jake Loggins Band leader remains a steady draw, gigging twice weekly or more in downtown clubs, with no sign of slowing down.
Where he sees himself in five years: "Down the street waiting for y'all to pull up a chair, order something nice for yourself, and let me and my boys play some good vibes and brokenhearted blues for you." — BF
Best Local Band 2006!
"It's not that Jake Loggins is an incredible blues guitarist, or that his vocal delivery bubbles with passion and soul- it's that you would never peg Loggins as a blues musician if you saw him on the street. Built like a string bean, and still sporting a bit of a baby face, the young prodigy makes eyes pop when he takes the stage with commanding lungs and lightening fast fingers. Pair him with his excellent band and you've got a great night of blues music."... Colorado Springs Gazette, GO! Section
