Mama Hagglin

Mama Hagglin is a super group formed from famous Southern California punk bands of the 80s: China White, Adolescents, The Mechanics and The Glory Holes. Mama Hagglin has grown into a sound that is remeniscent of the 60's 70's jam rock era. The sound has balls and gets the crowd fired up. Performances are well rehearsed and solid. Mama Hagglin primarily performs as a power 4-piece group and the sound is full and rich sonically. They have been known to bring in all the supporting musicians you hear on their latest full length release, VIBE (Cello, Horns, Mandolin, Female Backing VOX).

Mama Hagglin has shared the stage with Beth Hart, .38 Special, Johnny Winter, Dick Dale and Great White just to name a few artists.

Jeff Porter - Vocals, Guitars
Jeff's mother give him his first guitar and taught him the basic chords at age 7. Finding it a way to work through the challenges life brought him, he developed a passion for the early classics and was whippin' out Jimi Hendrix licks in no time. As the 1980s SoCal punk scene unfolded, Jeff found himself in some of the best known punk bands of the time including China White, The Glory Holes, The Cause to name a few. Jeff continues to translate his ongoing assessment of life through his music in Mama Hagglin. His hard driving guitar leads and forceful rhythms keep the energy buzzing deep into the crowd.

Jerry Adamowicz - Bass, Vocals
Jerry has been playing bass since his youth and never stopped playing since. He also plays guitar & mandolin. Growing up listening to classic artists like, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and The Who, he became very skillful at reproducing even the most difficult bass chops. Jerry is a talented sound engineer and has assisted numerous bands in attaining sounds they never though imaginable at his studio in SoCal. He has recorded and produced the sound tracks for Dick Clark's New Years Eve programs.

James Palmer - Piano, Organ, Vocals
Jimmy started playing piano at age 7 and underwent classical training. Growing up he played baroque and classical music in local (SoCal) recitals and competitions. He played keyboards with several SoCal cover bands throughout the 1980s and 1990s (gSpotz, Mitchells, Occupants) and recorded original work with remnant musicians from the Green Natives. With an addiction for that screaming Hammond B3 sound ala Deep Purple, Jimmy delivers growling organ solos with chaotic outbreaks.
