The J Band, a revolution of rhythm and melody, is stirring souls and setting feet to dancing throughout all corners of the world. Many years ago in Davis, California, where Jordan Lindsey and Amit Katzir first crossed paths, both with a guitar and Jordan with a fresh set of songs. They quickly connected and thus their course was set out before them, ferociously playing wherever the spirit lead them. “It was like we had been playing together for years. Amit was the skilled master and I was the raw storm and together the music took life. It still amazes me”. As the crowds grew so did the merry men on stage. First came Alan Lightner, the drummer/percussionist/steel drummer/singer with infectious passion. Next was Greg Magnuson, who sailed right in with bass and harmonies and a force on stage. Then there was d.j. Paul Ryan, who lifted everything to a wild rhythm and constant dance.

“People would hear acoustic guitars with a dance beat and steel drums and they would be baffled at first, but would soon be dancing. Then the next time we would see them they’d be singing the songs back to us and dancing with us and it soon became so much more than a crowd and a band, it a communion. It’s explosive”.
