Savage Grace (Michigan rock band)

After moving to Los Angeles the following year, the group released a second album, Savage Grace 2.

Session guitarist Ron Koss, a self-taught musician who had played locally and recorded with Wilson Pickett, Marv Johnson, and Hank Ballard, joined with keyboardist John Seanor and drummer / percussionist Larry Zack.

The new band performed throughout the Midwest in clubs, ballrooms, colleges, high schools, and pop festivals, eventually opening for various other acts including Three Dog Night, Procol Harum, Sha Na Na, The Moody Blues, Small Faces and countless others.

The group resumed touring with Jimi Hendrix and John Sebastian, but performance opportunities soon began to dwindle.

During the late 1990s Ron Koss and Al Jacquez reunited and teamed up with bassist Mark Gougeon, guitarist Jeff Jones, drummer Bill Gordon, and keyboardist Jim Claire to produce Savage Grace 3 – officially titled One Night in America.
