Two piece, dynamic original music act! Small, self-contained easy travel stage show with focus on sounding great instead of volume! Multi-talented, multi-versatile stage show with lots of unique instruments and switch ups displaying great talent! Singer with extreme range playing several instruments at the same time! Pre-recorded backup(all instruments played by members) gives full rich sound and allows artists to flow more freely and show off their abilities while still playing formal, orchestrated pieces(not just a jam)! Great work ethic and great variety of styles and genres all mixed up! Every song sounds totally different! Something for everyone!

This was our first album and this being a learning process, there are some things we may have done differently and some things we are pretty proud of. For a band (in its current formation) that has only been together for a short time, actually putting out an album was a huge step. There is often a misconception on what it takes to be a successful band. Getting together to create and play music is the easiest part. You’re doing what you love. When you have musicians as talented as we do, you often come up with some great stuff. The difficult parts are battling addictions, egos, incarcerations, girl problems, low times, slow times, over looking the general negative bull shit and just trying to stay together.
That being said, after all the struggles, this is our Album Lessons. "If they were easy they'd be forgotten." We were on a limited budget so we couldn't really waste time in the studio recording every song. Instead, we decided to choose songs which would highlight all of our influences. The result was an album with a mixture of styles including Rock, Reggae, Drum & Bass, Funk, Acid Jazz, Ska, Punk, Hip Hop, Go-Go, Jungle, Trip Hop and probably some other stuff. We felt each song gives a glimpse of us as a group. That’s the Big Hurt. 6 different individuals with many different personalities that have remained together long enough to put out an album. Only the future can tell what's next...........
Thanks for your love and support:
Billy Martin, Will Sutton, Tim Johnson, Matt Costello, Jamie Kelley, Frank Kanady - THE BIG HURT

Jake Johnson Band is a cover/original band with a very unique style and sound. With a slight touch of nastalgia for the old-schoolers, and a completely original act for all those into the theatrical. Now add in a pinch of Rock n Roll, a dash of Country, a shake of Blues and a whole lot of Attitude and you have yourself the ingredients for one hell of a show, fueled by The Jake Johnson Bands own brand of music and performance. It's called... Southern Fusion.
