JiB

Jason Ingram Band

Audience Records

After spending four years building a reputation in northern California’s San Francisco bay area, the five-member acoustic-driven modern rock band, Jason Ingram Band is finally ready for the national spotlight. One listen to their Audience Records debut, JiB is proof enough of that.

Mixing hard-driving acoustic guitars with selectively placed electric riffs, JiB presents a raw rock sound that’s both similar to artists like Eli and Dave Matthews Band, but distinctly different as well. Fronting the whole experience is the Vince Gill-like vocals of Jason Ingram. The result is a uniquely appealing collection of songs sure to make new fans for the boys by the bay.

“What’s It Gonna Be Like” opens the album and showcases what this band can do right off the bat. Sporting a rowdy, radio-friendly cascade of guitars, this melody turns eyes (literally) toward heaven in anticipation of Christ’s return. “Because of Your Love” is a gently-rocking tune that’s also memorable because of its deeply personal testimony about the power and example of godly parents. “Coin,” and “Rhythm of You” are ear-pleasing cuts as well.

In all, Jason Ingram Band is a welcome addition to the world of righteous acoustic rock.  Enjoy this new band today.
