Artist History The Professional Americans were formed at the end of May 2002 after the break-up of the midwest power pop sensation Purim, and local riff rock heroes Stewlava. Out of Purim came lead vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Jason Poe, and bassist/back-up vocalist James Hafner. The two hooked up with their close friends and former members of Stewlava: lead guitarist/songwriter Terry Parker, and drummer/songwriter Corbin Petersen. The four began practicing together in early June 2002 and have already gained label attention from various labels, both major and minor, before their first performance. The Professional Americans were started with the vision of bringing back great rock to the airwaves. By blending straightforward rock riffs, and pop oriented melodies the band has created a formula for success. The idea is for every song to be short and sweet. If you leave them wanting more they will always come back.
