  Updates and reviews of Brooklyn Hustle / Memphis Muscle

  I've been in rehearsals all week with Francis and the Lights preparing for our upcoming show at the Bowery Ballroom. I've been playing with Francis on and off for the last 7 years and this is by far the strongest line up I've ever seen. I will be taking the mic for one song on Thursday night, but I am not at liberty to disclose what it will be. You'll actually have to commit your physical presence, an underrated phenomenon in the digital world.

  Can't wait to get back to Memphis and play the Bucc and get ready for SXSW. There are several new Jump Back Jake songs already in the works that we'll be debuting soon. We can't wait to share them with all of you.

  Nice reviews of BH/MM...

  "Not only is this one of those very few albums worth purchasing it is, in fact, a bloody brilliant album... I think they are best represented by their song, "The Flood" which mixes county funk, blues and ska melody lines (played beautifully on horns) into one, gorgeous, Southern soul stew - delicious and nutritious... And, I must say, in this world of wall to wall boy bands, Jump Back Jake are refreshingly ugly - just like you lot (so you won't feel intimidated)." - Read the full review at Of course, I could be wrong...

  "Jump Back Jake describe themselves as a Modern Memphis Rock N' Soul band. And they are. Their album Brooklyn Hustle / Memphis Muscle is filled with brass augmented rock that will make your head bob up and down in appreciation." - Read the full review at Here Comes The Flood

  News and Updates (SXSW, Little Rock, NYC)

  JBJ is thrilled to announce that they will be playing a couple of showcases at this years SXSW music festival in Austin. We hope to see as many of you there as possible. In the meantime we just got back from a great weekend in New Orleans where we were treated like family by everyone we met. Thanks to everyone at the Circle Bar and all of you who came to the show. We had a great time meeting all of you and hope to see you again soon. We'll also be at one of our favorite bars, the White Water Tavern, next Tuesday in Little Rock. This is going to be a great party and we hope to see as many of you Little Rockers as possible out at the show.

  In other news, I'll be continuing my long time collaboration with Francis Starlight playing lead guitar with him and his band the Lights at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. The show is on February 5th. Order your tickets now HERE.
