ABOUT The Big Medicine: Brothers Chad and Nathan Jackson were raised in a musical family and have played together in Seattle hard rock bands, notably Local 808 and Drop Six. The brothers went on a retreat to Leavenworth, Washington with just a portable recording studio and a couple of guitars. When they returned home and listened to the songs they had written there, they realized that this was the beginning of a project that had to become a reality.
They called on longtime friend Garrett Craddock. Nathan had been bandmates with Garrett in SP Unlimited, another prominent Seattle rock band, and knew that he would fit perfectly with their vision. Next, they decided to pursue Brian Jackson (no relation to Chad and Nate.) Brian is another longtime friend and the drummer from Seattle area projects such as Us of All, Seymore Goldfish, Thread, Healer, and Violate the Standard. Chad also tapped Hellephant bassist and bandmate Josh Veals. Josh is also the former bass player for Jed, another popular Seattle rock band. The band was still missing keyboards, so Brian asked longtime friend and former Seymore Goldfish bandmate Matt McKay to sit in. Matt found himself filling more of a multi-instrumentalist role; not only on keyboards, but baritone guitar, mandolin, and even tenor sax.
So, what about the name? The band is named after a legendary white buffalo that the Flathead tribe in Montana called the Big Medicine. Music itself is “Big Medicine” for all of the band’s members. Playing and performing keeps them “right in the head.” Since all the band’s members have backgrounds in heavy rock, this project is a diversion from what they’re used to. Their goal is to play for as many people as they can and write music that moves them and stretches their songwriting capabilities.
So, tune in and enjoy. This band plans to be around for a long time. The guys all hope you’ll pass the word about their music, and to see you at a show real soon.
