There has never been a catchy cliché or nifty catch phrase to label Buster Jiggs. The best portrayal was coined by Coby Wier, friend and former band mate, as “Organic Texas Rock”. A fusion of vintage rock n’ roll, country burn and haunting melody lines that combines into a rollercoaster of sound, and the fact that they are fronted by a female vocalist only adds to the intrigue.
Buster Jiggs was conceived by husband and wife Scott (drums) and Kristin Muennink (vocals/guitar) in the summer of 1999, in a garage in Taft, TX. Being the songwriters of the group there never was and will never be a “formula” for their music; each song has its own life and soul. Now going into their thirteenth year together, Buster Jiggs has had various, incredible musicians funnel through, each one leaving their mark on Scott and Kristin, which in turn has aided them to create the music they are playing today.
The band name comes from a character in an old cowboy poem, "The Sierry Petes (or Tying the Knots in the Devil's Tail)" written in 1917 by Gail Gardner. Hence the groups logo of a boot wearing, guitar brandishing devil, with a few knots in his tail.
As of the fall of 2011 Buster Jiggs consists of:
Kristin Muennink: vocals/guitar
Scott Muennink: drums
Daniel Rhodes: bass/harmony vocals
Schley Barrack: lead guitar
