There was a time when every city had a sound. Detroit gave America the gift of Motown. Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, created Aretha and The Allman Brothers. The legendary production team of Gamble and Huff went so far as to call their record label TSOP, The Sound of Philadelphia.
Thousands of interstates and an Internet later, it's hard to figure out what sound comes from where. Listening to the radio today, you wouldn't know if a new group came from New York or New Zealand.
But if you put your ear to the ground, maybe take a long afternoon and listen all the way back to the beginning of American music, you will end up in one place. The motherland of every Rock and Roll, Blues, Funk, or Soul record ever made—Mississippi.
Maybe it was the aged cypress trees, or the primordial swamps, the oppressive heat, or the dappled sunlight, but every note of popular music ever played anywhere on earth originates from this place. It's no surprise, then, that the Jam Shack came to life here. It's a place in the woods where the best musicians, writers, and producers come together to make music that matters. Jam Shack founders Steve Thompson and Bryan Ward are committed to bringing you real music straight from the source.
A long line of Jam Shack artists are getting ready to take up permanent residence in your ears. Sit back, take a listen. You might hear something your haven't heard in a while, or ever before.
