Old Jawbone: PRESS

"...this strings-and-harmonica trio has a fond and secure clasp on the old-timey music of the American South. Their harmony singing and instrumentation have willful, engaging qualities that insulate original songs and well-traveled material like Reverend Gary Davis' "Angels Singing" from sentimentality..."

Old Jawbone is a California borne (mostly) acoustic Folk-Twang-Bluegrass-Rock band. They play seven acoustic instruments between them and sing sweet three part harmonies to bring a new twist to some old styles of music. They're young, hot, talented and raring to go

My all time favorite local band, Old Jawbone, will get you groovin’ with stellar strumming on old-time instruments like the mandolin or banjo and rock your world with harmonica solos.

They dragged in a 15 gallon keg of Racer X beer from Bear Republic. They played a 90 minute set beginning at 6:30 PM, and by 7:45 The Keg Was Toast. That probably says more about their fans than the music (there was over 100 people!) , but they are a great local group. 3 young men (all 26) they play banjo, mandolin, guitar, bass and sing originals and cool covers. You should check 'em out...

This episode of the Northbay features a 3 guy band called Old Jawbone… Though lacking a drummer they make up for it with a driving rhythm from the bass. Also… note that the bass player not only maintains the rhythm, but provides vocals as well as an awesome harmonica backup. Their sound is close to the style of the classic group called The Band.
