Jokers Wild

About

Jokers Wild is a group that came together in a very unique way. The meeting place for all the members was in Fort Dodge, mainly through the college there. Jeff and Russell grew up together, same with Justin and Zach, so when everyone met in college, it was a meeting for the first time. Russell and Jeff hooked up with Justin and Zach to start a group to just play and have fun. Despite the fact that is was just for fun, they still had a goal, and that was to start a band and start playing shows, and the band was just short of a drummer. That did not take long however, and when Jeff was in a local Fort Dodge music store, Marcus made the match. The band wanted to start picking up events, and did auditions for shows at the college. Here, they knew that things were picking up, and founded themselves in November of 2006 with the name "Jokers Wild". The group has been making money from the local venues, and have been attracting more and more fans at every stop. They love to play, and they love to have fun. They look forward to every gig they get to play.
