Jeff Agins (Author)
Growing up in New York, Jeff started working in the music industry in 1997. From promotion to production and touring he has worked many job titles that has taken him to numerous countries around the world. The idea of a book with a fictional tour took shape many years ago when Jeff first met Kent Niepert. With over 55 years combined in the music industry; producing, touring, and performing with many artists, the pair finally met in 2006. Their sense of humor collided, and they instantly bonded over the stories of their road experiences. While their careers have taken very different routes, once they crossed paths, they knew after working together that they shared a connection that rarely is seen in any industry.Soon they realized that they had seen so much of the industry; the idea of a fictious tour could be fun to write about, with the right element added. That element was murder. Murder on a rock and roll tour loaded with satire on the industry that they already thought was humorous. They started penning ideas back in 2009; created characters and scenarios with the intension of making one another laugh. Soon they were writing one chapter after another with ideas that they developed over numerous phone calls and an occasional meeting over a beer. As time moved on, they had what was the basic building blocks for half a novel. But both became busy with other projects and the writing process slowed down. The phone calls continued, and the ideas flowed as the two became addicted to their stories. It was agreed that at some point when they had more time, they would continue to finish the manuscript.Then Covid 19 reared its ugly head and there was time. While not much else in the world was moving, Jeff and Kent were on the phone almost daily. Their ideas kept flowing and soon they had enough material not just for one novel, but for several. Now well into their third novel, they are proud to release their second titled, Tones, Clones, and Bones.Jeff: “Having seen it all on the road, it was fun to take that knowledge and create something that people will enjoy. This book follows our first book ‘Are We A Bus?’. The characters continue and life moves on for them. I hope everyone that reads this enjoys it and laughs out loud just as Kent and I did while creating it.” Kent: ”To say that I’ve lived the rock and roll dream, would be an understatement. What I have seen on tour is far funnier than This is Spinal Tap ever was. I hope to live a few more years in the arena.”Read more about this authorRead less about this author

While being on a rock and roll tour is intriguing, it is neither uncomplicated nor glamorous. An industry loaded with crooked people and con artists around every turn makes being on the road an arduous journey.

Living on a tour bus for weeks to months at a time turns what appears extravagant into a moving prison that never escapes the obstacles of the tour. Pulling it all together and driving a successful tour to its completion is an art form.

Every day brings dilemmas from a magnitude of predicaments that require extraordinary solutions that must be implemented swiftly to keep the touring machine moving forward. Touring partners Jeb and Neusy, have organized and executed a lifetime of successful tours.

Their extensive knowledge and experience created the ideal touring partnership that can navigate the toughest of circumstances. Now the touring partners who escaped murders that plagued their last tour signed on for another tour with the world’s greatest guitarist, “the Doctor” Jurgen Weislangwolf.

The Doctor while being a brilliant guitarist brings added complications that an ordinary tour never experiences. Nothing about a rock and roll tour that features the Doctor is predictable, including his quest for spiritual enlightenment.

While not wanting to ride that particular wave with the Doctor, Jeb and Neusy agreed to the production needed to complete the Doctor’s journey and the tour commences. With a new friend that leads the way, Jeb and Neusy do what they do best, which is steer the Doctor’s one man solo tour in the right direction always moving forward.

The Doctor’s never revealed personal agenda consistently challenges the two. They have come to ignore it, mocking the Doctor constantly while he sails down these passages.

They have developed a partnership rarely seen in the business. Jeb and Neusy always find the solution to whatever ridiculous situation arises on the road at the same time being able to communicate across a room without spoken words.

Once back on familiar ground, the tour takes another direction, loaded with new challenges and additional complications not seen earlier. A tour featuring added crew and band members for a more involved trek that includes the previous tour’s bass player that went missing.

All appears normal or at least typical for a tour involving the Doctor. The ordinary obstacles that hinders a tour do not phase the pair one bit.

They effortlessly uncomplicate these hurdles without anyone noticing. Overcoming a booking agent that has his own financial future as his number one priority and problematic promoters and managers of venues across the tour interrupting their momentum is routine.

Jeb and Neusy start to see a concerning resemblance to the previous tour. Then once the killer materializes and the murders begin, it is apparent that what plagued the last tour has started again.

The FBI already had two agents along to chaperone the tour and identify what happened last tour and safeguard the tour from possible future sabotage. With help from a suave and dapper freelance Canadian detective, they were confident that nothing could escape their authority.

The tour takes many unexpected developments, as the killer revels in constant interactions with the authoritative figures and easily eludes them. Reveling in his mayhem and deception, the killer is content being back on the road where he was born to be.

With a diverse and comical crew and set in an industry that already creates its own satire, “Tones, Clones and Bones” is a comical ride on a fictional rock and roll tour written by authors who experienced and witnessed it all. .
