Captain Beefheart Discography
Magic Band Members' Discographies
Richard Hepner
Rich Hepner was spotted by the Magic Band whilst they were on tour. Hepner was playing guitar in a band called the Fantabulous Jags at a bar in Denver. The Jags' gimmick was the preposterously huge pompadour hairstyles all the band sported.
His playing was sufficiently impressive for Alex St Claire to move from guitar to drums to accomodate him. Although he was only in the band a short while he did get to record on the A&M sessions with them as well as playing a number of live gigs. John French recalls seeing him play and was very impressed with his B.B. King style blues licks.
Rich has continued to play since those days but currently no details are available. It is hope that an interview with Rich might be forthcoming in the not too distant future.
