     The Josh Jackson Band borrows sounds from all different genres to create a style all their own. Power pop, roots rock and acoustic grooves can all be heard in their music. The band often gets compared to big name acts such as Vertical Horizon, Sister Hazel and Train, but they add just enough of their own musical flair to keep the music from being just a cookie cutter of what is at the top of the charts.

     Another thing that sets the band apart from other groups is the positive nature of their material. "I was always brought up that whatever you do, it should have a purpose. If we are going to go out there and play music, I want people to get something out of it as well as enjoy the music." says Jackson. And people are responding.

     Josh’s debut album, Challengepoint has sold well since its release in 2000 and has enjoyed many accolades. Two songs, "My Fathers House" and "I Surrender All" spent multiple weeks in the top ten on WITR, a New York radio station that charts independent artists. The album was also recognized as a nominee for the prestigious ROAR Independent Music Award by Rock of Ages Radio, a popular Internet radio station.

     While awards and airplay are nice, the band is very comfortable just going out and having fun. "I don’t know if we will ever be signed to a major label or make millions of dollars doing this", says Jackson "But as long as we continue to have fun and influence people positively, you can always count on The Josh Jackson Band being around."
