DUSTIN HAYS has written: "Jack Bedient was a Wenatchee-raised musician most known for a handful of records he released during the 1960s with his group The Chessmen. The group was originally made up of three other local players: guitarist Kevin Woods, bassist Glenn Taylor and drummer Bill Franklin. After relocating first to California, replacing a few members and settling in Reno, Nevada, they recorded some killer garage rock singles along the way. Arguably the highest point in the group’s career was signing with Columbia Records in 1967." [READ MORE]
