NEW SOUNDS: JBM "NOT EVEN IN JULY"

Jesse Marchant is someone with a buttery tongue. Known as JBM to the music community, we recently were turned onto his music, and specifically the honey-of-a-song called "Ambitions & War" off his soon to be released album on July 27th (Partisan Records), "Not Even In July". "Ambitions & War" is like BREAD meets AMERICA, and it's a song my wife plays about 5 times a day about someone that's losing their mind. It's brilliant and I'm told it's about life in Los Angeles, which makes sense about losing your mind. The record is an acoustic jewel, my Sunday morning-cookin' breakfast type of jam.

Next week he'll be hitting the road with another one of our favorites - NATHANIEL RATELIFF for dates up in the Northeast and anyone catching this double team is in for a blessed evening. He recently hit the road with Rougue Wave & Avi Buffalo and Sondre Lerche.
