JAG

JAG was a Christian rock band that recorded during the early 1990's. The band's name is an acronym for the band's founder and lead singer, John Allen Garies. The history of the acronym came from one of the many tours on which John accompanied Sacred Fire (SF) in 1987, when the SF guitarist constantly referred to John by his full name when not around, to which then SF Bassist Thurston Bell coined him as "JAG". Building on his passion for music, Garies formed JAG in the late 1980's. JAG's original lineup for their 1990 debut, The Longest Road included guitarist J. Paul Brittain, bassist Joel McCreight, drummer Chuck Connor, and Garies on lead vocals.
