Break Down the Walls of Injustice

 

 

 

During his maiden session with Was (Not Was), Randy Jacobs met Sweet Pea Atkinson on a cold night in the Motor City at Sound Suite Studio. The connection was immediate & a life-long bond was forged between the two artists.

After their European tour opening for Dire Straits in 1992 the Was Band went on hiatus. Randy started writing songs for a solo project while earning a living in Los Angeles playing with or recording for the likes of Bonnie Raitt, BB King, Seal, Paula Abdul, Kris Kristofferson, Ofra Haza, Tears For Fears, Warren Hill, & others. Likewise, Sweet Pea was also in Los Angeles doing background vocals for artists like Neil Diamond, Bonnie Raitt, Keb Mo, & Bob Seger.

 

 

Jacobs had been working with various singers looking for the right voice for his new band when Atkinson called to say that he wanted to be part of Randy’s brand new thing. 

So the Boneshakers journey began...
