Artist description The JRB Band is: John Rocco Battista. I am a Firefighter and a Musician living in Upstate New York. I have been making music since I first picked up a guitar about 20 years ago. I have been in many cover bands and am now into the artistic/original frame of mind where it is so much more fulfilling to write music ... than to copy it. ***(please see reviews)*** I hope you enjoy these songs as much as I did writing them!

Music Style Classic Rock , Blues and Space Jams, and...and...

Musical Influences The 60's and 70's ......mostly, ... I think.

Similar Artists I've been told, ... Hendrix, ... to The Beach Boys. To me I don't sound like anyone else, but you decide.....

Artist History This is the result of years of experimenting with music and styles. I have been in other bands and am currently working with Scooter Trash and 2 Blu on some new music. This is my solo page. I really enjoy making the music, and am now really into the production end of the 'biz'. I plan on doing many projects with Scooter Trash and 2 Blu. I will also be doing many solo pojects in the future, so please stay tuned! ...

Press Reviews ***The JRB Band*** "Intergalactic, Jazz-Damaged Explorations ... that place the emphasis on guitar solos and the joy of unpretentious improvisation..." Psychedelic Jimi-ness mixes it up with Sun Ra-type chants/jams and a decidedly technical sensibility that lends the JRB Band a Resin-ating Classic Rock flavor. Straight Rock numbers trudge with Stonesy sleaze, proving that these guys aren't just a bunch of techies! - Listen.com! ***The JRB Band*** "Once again, JRB shows us that in music, Atmosphere and Style go a very long way indeed!" So sit back and ENJOY the ride! Go and listen, and enjoy the crunchy thrashing of his guitar and ENJOY how he makes you feel! Thanks for the fun trip! - Phil Traynor Reviews ***The JRB Band*** "I think you are going to like these guys!" Cool Classic Rock style... Excellent guitar work! - Bankers Featured Artists ***The JRB Band*** "The JRB Band is dominating The Southern Tier of New York with their music!" - Your Favorite #1 Hits!
