James Bradley Raymond: "The Pied Piper of Southern Garage Rock"; dive bar residents from NYC to Atlanta and Austin, TX know Jimmy Brad as the world's friendliest (and clumsiest) frontman, the face of Jimmy and the Teasers. To North Carolinians, he and his bands were ubiquitous darlings of Sleazefest in Chapel Hill and the Heavy Rebel 4th of July Weekender in Winston-Salem.
