Biography

Emerging from the Texas honky-tonks and dancehalls, Buster Jiggs is a four-piece country-rock band that has continued to evolve creating its own sound. They have broadened, yet focused their songwriting in a direction that is finding its own niche in the Texas music scene.
Forming ten years ago, this seasoned quartet has become more like a family than just a band; enabling them to overcome lineup changes that most bands could not. Rhythm guitarist Kristin Muennink gracefully and commandingly became the voice of Buster Jiggs; debuting her vocal talents on their 2007 EP Miserably Happy. The pulse of the band since the garage days of Taft, Texas, remains Kristin’s husband/drummer Scott Muennink and long-time friend/bassist Cody Scherer. The newest member to join the trio is lead guitarist Jake Pyeatt.
You might say they have grown a little and yet they still know how to deliver the fun. They show us this from the very beginning of their newest album, Smith Music release Heartache Jubilee, and don’t let up till the end. Produced by Joseph Deeb (formerly of Micky and the Motorcars), the long anticipated and aptly titled Heartache Jubilee (which will be available in September) comprises 11 original tracks of love and angst against the backdrop of striking vocals and memorable tunes. Taking you from sawdust dance floors to riff driven rock-n-roll, this album is pure ear-candy.
“With Kristin’s unique vocal tone, blending harmonies and melodic guitar lines, and a rhythm section locked tighter than Huntsville, this band’s got a sound and a memorable batch of songs that music fans are gonna really enjoy!” Joseph Deeb.
