JOHN & JACOB ON TOUR WITH KACEY MUSGRAVES
PASTE MAGAZINE NOW STREAMING BAND’S SELF-TITLED DEBUT LP
JOHN & JACOB OUT OCTOBER 6th
John & Jacob are thrilled to be on the road with long-time fan Kacey Musgraves on her US tour that started last week in Tulsa, OK. The Birmingham, AL musicians have been working non-stop winning over music fans with a stellar live show and a talent for writing solid pop songs, and will release their anticipated self-titled debut album next Monday October 6.
Rolling Stone raves music fans might be “reminded of radio-friendly, mid-Nineties pop-rock … when an Everly Brothers comparison is just as apt” adding “the band’s jangly, British Invasion-inspired ditty ‘Be My Girl’ could have easily been a killer Dwight Yoakam cut.” CMT adds the band writes “infectious tunes and irrefutable harmonies.”
Paste Magazine is now streaming John & Jacob. Listen to the album here and check out fan favorite’s “Ride With Me,” “Be My Girl,” “Give It Away” and “Guilty Face.” http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/av/2014/09/stream-john-jacob.html
Ann Powers at NPR says “There’s plenty classic about John & Jacob — the harmonies, the melodies, that Beatles-kissed beat — but the band brings these sounds into the future with a fresh attitude and certifiable skills. And they can get the young girls in any audience to dance. Young girls dancing are the number one predictor of rock and roll success.”
John & Jacob have been busy this summer. The band impressed concertgoers at this year’s Bonnaroo, Firefly and Hangout Music Festivals, and toured Europe with Kacey where they earned themselves a great supporter in the influential and legendary programmer Bob Harris – known for breaking bands through his work on the BBC and the celebrated Whistle Test TV shows.
The songwriters have also won over fellow musicians, writing a #1 song with The Band Perry and landing a publishing deal with Major Bob Music (home of hit songs for Dierks Bentley, Dixie Chicks and The Plain White T’s).
