"It was certainly a tough choice to leave my bread and butter gig but I could feel it in my heart that I needed to be singing and recording and performing my own music. I've never been happier!"

Jamie McLean Band is now set to release their first and long awaited live album. Recorded at the famed Gibson Showroom in New York City Live At Gibson captures the band in its element. Live and in front of a captivated crowd is where Jamie McLean Band truly shines and this night was no different. The band dug deep into their catalog to produce a set list and 

album that features their original brand of blues, rock and soul. Special guests like American Idol winner Taylor Hicks and Robert Randolph keys man Jason Crosby add some great flavor to the set. Bluesy staples like "Crazy About You" and "Country Living" get turned up even more in front of a crowd and JMB does more than justice to covers like Allman Brothers' "Midnight Rider" and Otis Redding's "Mr. Pitiful."

 

Jamie McLean Band will tour behind their new album throughout the US and Canada this summer. Don't miss their amazing live set when they roll into a town near you!
