HOW TO MAKE IT IN MUSIC LIVE AT THE 12 BAR WAS PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY SAILOR JERRY SPICED RUM
J.D Smith is a London based solo blues/punk/rockabilly who has been trying for the past 4 years to bring Rockabilly back from the brink and allow this amazing music to gain a larger audience. Having stayed outside of the Rockabilly scene (but some very enjoyable times within), where Rockabilly music has found itself very much alive but stuck, J.D. has played in venues that include the Luminarie (in support of Wanda Jackson) the Barfly (upstairs and downstairs), the Fly, Purple Turtle (Camden), the Cafe de Paris, the Dublin castle, the Hope and Anchor, the Bull & Gate, the Notting hill arts club and the 12 Bar Club.
J.D's debut album '' A Jukebox riot,'' which was recorded earlier this year by Darrel Higham (Modern Rockabilly guitarist), has now been released in HMV and a number of other internet based retail outlets. The album has been picked up by Total Rock's radio station, who carried out an hour long interview for their Rockabilly/country show and a number of underground magazines including Bizarre magazine, the Music Magazine and Bubblegum Slut.
With an idea, a guitar and a heap of Punk rock thrown in J.D. is hoping to wake people up to the idea that a solo act doesn't have to mean folk, it can also be dangerous again.

''Everbody deserves a little rockabilly in their lives...and if twang's your thang, Mr Smiths got it in buckets. From the lowdown, honest-to-goodness stomp of ' This Violent Heart' and ' Kicking Machine' to the tender strumming of 'Time', JD Smith's take on old-fashioned rock and blues is charming and toe-tappin', delivered with a directness and honesty that tips it's hat to the spirit of Charlie Feathers and other long-gone knee-tremblers.''-Bizarre Magazine
''J.D. Smith was astounding, a Rockabilly and blues one man guitar wunderkind. Not only was his guitar work, vocals and songs top notch, but he seemed at ease to play through his set of bareboned Rockabilly-Country. The crowd was equally appreciative too, and he - for me - was the surpise package of the night.'' Distorted magazine, review taken from the Vic Ruggiero (Slackers) gig at the Windmill on the 3rd November 2008.
'' Nobody that I have seen recently does this stuff like JD; this stuff being blues/rockabilly. The pace is relentless as he rocks his way through one after another powerful rockabilly gem, pausing this time only for the slightly more sedate “Doghouse Blues”. His guitar style is a mixture of slide and chord and his vocals earthy and wild. An experience not to be missed.''Peter Coulston - Seatwave
'' The warm-up act had been a refreshing acoustic Country-Rockabilly set from J.D. Smith, who had, apparently, obligingly come off the street that afternoon to play the opening slot as the support band had cried off! The tone for the gig had thus been set by this energetic one-man-band who filled the stage from the floors to the vaulted rafters with his jangly wall-of-noise slide-guitar. ''-livemusic.fm
'' Sounds like an Elvis for the modern era'' - 8/10 - The Music Magazine
''These tracks jitter along with a barely contained energy and excitement and real passion to match Smith's technically faultless playing. You sort of imagine this is what it must have been like to hear this music for the first time before it got tired with use and reuse.'' - Bubblegum Slut
'' Combining acoustic rockabilly with a punk sensibility this is acoustic artistry at it's finest. '' - The List

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
