R. Shawn Harrington, lead singer and songwriter, was discussing music with his brother Rob: "You just need your guitar, some inspiration, and a little luck and next thing you know....Jed's a Millionaire! Not the most inspirational band name story, but I like to think the creativity is reserved for the music." Four albums and hundreds of shows later, Jed's a Millionaire is no temporary success but a tenured band at the height of its powers.
Jed's a Millionaire is indie rock with soul. Leaving behind the band's desert rock origins, JAM now casts a wider musical net; setting crisp, layered guitars and keys on driving pop rhythms. JAM's soaring melodies propel Harrington's personal and unabashed lyrics of passion, heartbreak and hope. Twin guitars lead the way while stark piano, swirling organs and dreamy steel guitar complete their modern yet classic sound. Shawn was voted Most Enjoyable Singer by Phoenix New Times, and his earnest delivery and familiar tones remain the lynch pin of the band's sound.
Returning to Revolver Studios in LA, where the breakthrough Haunt was recorded, the band once again tapped producers Mikal Blue (Colbie Caillat/One Republic/Augustana) and Andrew Williams (Five For Fighting/Old97’s/Jessica Simpson) to bring their latest music to life. "This is the strongest material yet,” says Blue. The songs will be released late 2009. Haunt spawned two singles, "Wish" and "Began", which received airplay on KZON in Phoenix and other regional radio stations.
Now in 2009, the lineup is R. Shawn Harrington (guitars and vocals), Aaron Ploechl (guitars), Jamie King (bass), Dan Frost (keys and lap steel) and Andy Ziker (drums). "We’re excited to start playing these new songs in front of people. These guys are such amazing musicians. I think people are really going to dig it,” says Shawn. “A band doesn't continue to make an impact after a decade by following trends; a band stays relevant by being true to its heart."
