ABOUT VAN METER
Maryland native and roots rocker Jennifer Van Meter has been at it for over twenty years now as a songwriter and performer. With a catalog of songs pushing the sixty mark, the genre lines continue to blur while she refuses to constrict the songs from becoming what they will, as her influences span from Strand of Oaks to Lucinda Williams to Blackberry Smoke.
Her band consists of two veteran Raleigh players, Bruce Clark and Larry Woodard, and songwriter/drummer turned bassist, Braxton Lindsay and their collaboration brings a sound reminiscent of Tom Petty and the Pretenders colliding.
She’s performed from her adopted hometown of Clayton, NC’s Harvest Festival to the Key West Songwriter’s Festival as well as many bars, breweries and clubs throughout the years. Her list of artists that she’s performed with includes The Lone Bellow, Kasey Chambers, LoCash, Devon Allman, Lissie and Robyn Hitchcock. Jen’s song “Roadside Flower” was featured as American Songwriter’s ‘Daily Discovery’ and her up and coming release will feature the revered Doug Pettibone.
ABOUT JACK THE RADIO
Raleigh, North Carolina roots-rockers Jack the Radio blend rock and blues sensibility with Americana, folk, and country to create a tapestry of swampy southern-tinged sounds on their latest album release, Creatures. All of the songs on the album were written by singer George Hage with a common thread that weaves its way through telling us to stand strong as we ride out the highs and lows of what life throws at us.
Over the years, Jack The Radio has shared the stage with The Avett Brothers, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, George Thorogood, Cold War Kids, Rayland Baxter, and American Aquarium to name a few. Their music has been featured in countless commercial, film, and TV projects including Modern Family, Boardwalk Empire, Graceland, Beverly Hills 90210 as well as in sports programming for NASCAR, NFL, PGA among others.
