Jawbone is a one-man blues/garage/punk band based in Detroit, Michigan.
His self-released, basement-recorded 2004 album 'dang blues' was discovered by legendary BBC Radio 1 dj John Peel,
who championed the cd on his national UK broadcast over a period of several weeks early in 2004.
A visit to London soon followed in April 2004 for a series of club gigs and a live session for Mr. Peel at Maida Vale studios.
Jawbone was signed to London-based Loose Music in July 2004. A Jawbone cover version of Johnny Cash's
Sun Records classic 'Get Rhythm' was included in the October 2004 Mojo Magazine Johnny Cash tribute cd.
The end of 2004 saw Jawbone return to the UK for another small tour, and 2 songs from the 'dang blues' ending up in the Peel Festive 50
(hi-de-hi at 10, and Jackrabbit at 18). 2005 included an appearance at SXSW Music Conference in Austin, Texas, gigs in and
around Detroit, and another UK tour. A new album titled 'Hauling' is scheduled for release in Spring of 2006.
