You could now call them two peas in a pod, and they will be showing their stuff on Tuesday evenings throughout the rest of the year at The Bungalow Inn in Lakeland. Brianna Tagg and Kurt Jorgensen have joined to form The Jorgensen Tagg Band and duo. The two troubadours teamed up to record Brianna’s debut album, Wandering, with Kurt acting as producer and arranger for Brianna’s multi-instrumentalist talents, they say.
It did not take long for the pair to team up as songwriters and performers, too. The sound is powerful and undeniably fresh, as judged by its popularity, taking root in rock, blues, pop, and soul and a self-described “southern kissed” classic rock sound. The two are fast making an indelible mark on the local and national music scene.
Kurt, with his own band, has released eight albums to date and received the praise of fans and critics alike, as was shown for years with a large and loyal group of Hudson-area fans who followed him from venue to venue for performances, once even trekking to Iowa to partake in the experience. The Minnesota Music Awards has presented Kurt with singer, entertainer, songwriter, album and song of the year.
Brianna also has toured nationwide and has also performed multiple times at South by Southwest, impressing industry luminaries and fans, the duo say. Jorgensen Tagg performs as such a duo and also as a seven-piece band having many instrumental specialties.
After releasing their debut album “Love Wins,” Kurt and Brianna toured the West Coast, and that form of the band is working on writing and recording their second album.
You can catch the duo at The Bungalow on Nov. 29, and Dec. 13, 20 and 27.
