Backstory:

Jolly Leg is a three-piece band formed in the small coastal town of North Bay, Oregon. It all started in a local dive bar where Jake “JP” Patterson, Leroy “LJ” Jenkins, and Oscar “Oz” Zimmerman would gather on Friday nights. Each of them was an accomplished musician in their own right, but it was their shared love for music and a few rounds of brew that brought them together to form a band. Their name, Jolly Leg, came from a local legend about a pirate who used to roam the coasts, rumoured to be the cheeriest peg-legged rogue who ever lived.

The band started playing at local gigs, soon garnering a dedicated following. Their sound was unique, their chemistry undeniable, and their spirit infectious. They took their music on the road, touring all over the country and bringing a piece of North Bay with them wherever they went.

“Riding the Coastal Wind”

Lyrics:

Verse 1: (A, E, D, A)
(A) The wind in our sails and the (E) sun in our eyes,
(D) North Bay is where our (A) heart lies.
(A) The waves sing a song, and (E) we sing along,
(D) With our guitars and a (A) pirate’s song.

Chorus: (E, D, A, E)
(E) Riding the coastal wind, (D) under the moonlight thin,
(A) We are Jolly Leg, strumming the (E) rhythm of the sea.

Verse 2: (A, E, D, A)
(A) We left our town, but (E) took its spirit,
(D) In every song, you can (A) hear it.
(A) From roadside bars to (E) music halls,
(D) We carry the echo of (A) North Bay’s calls.

Chorus: (E, D, A, E)
(E) Riding the coastal wind, (D) under the moonlight thin,
(A) We are Jolly Leg, playing the (E) songs of the free.

“I’ve been with Jolly Leg since the beginning. I remember when they were just three guys with a dream, playing their hearts out at the local bar. Their music resonates with the spirit of North Bay, and no matter where I am, listening to their songs always brings me home. They might tour the country, even the world, but they never forget where they come from. Their song ‘Riding the Coastal Wind’ speaks to the heart of every North Bay native. That’s why Jolly Leg is, and always will be, my favorite band.”
