Take four guys who devote all their time to creating music, throw them in a leaky house that smells like old soup, make them inseparable, and tell them to write songs that will ignite every audience for whom they perform. This is South Jordan.
This pop/rock band thrives on raw talent while using its blind ambition to consistently grow into its potential. With influences such as U2 and Coldplay, South Jordan has given itself gigantic shoes to fill. Both pianist Bobby Campbell and frontman Michael David Hall write songs that hold honest emotion and represent the highest and lowest experiences people go through in life. Behind strong lyrics must come equally powerful instruments, and South Jordan is no exception to this.
Drummer Greg Olsten, from Long Island New York, is the powerhouse. He delivers a dependable back-beat to every song. Also, being a highly trained jazz musician, Olsten brings a unique approach and level of musicianship to the band. Mike Chan, from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, is South Jordan’s synth master. The elaborate parts on keys he has developed give the music a cinematic quality while opening the overall sound and taking the live show to the next level. Bobby Campbell, from Hagerstown Indiana, is simply the father of the four. He keeps the band stable and pushes both the group and the songs to their limits. The gifted hands playing his keys produce the core of the piano driven band. Lastly there is Michael David Hall, SoJo’s frontman from Chicago, Illinois. Hall has trademarked his vocal style with crude emotional swells and an unmistakable presence on the stage. One of the most passionate singers around, he captivates audiences of all ages and casts the influential message South Jordan offers to its listeners.
Together, each member is exceptional at his personal craft. Personality wise, they are young, sensible, and quite goofy on and off the stage, but also get serious when it’s time for the music to take over. These young guys are aware of their purpose, and are more than certain they’ll be together making music for years to come.
