SilentJ
SilentJ began with two acoustic guitars on a backyard deck in Ellicott City, MD.
We soon added a third acoustic guitar that quickly transformed into a bass.
Months later, and another meeting on the deck turned up a drummer, from up the
street. Days later, SilentJ was born in a basement jam session.
So what do you do when you and your friends from up the street play
instruments? You form a rock band, and that's what we did.
John our master of cover tunes, pushed Jeff and Tim to learn what seemed a like
a new song each week. Kevin picked up his sticks, and just joined in like he'd
been there from day one. Just six months later, we were working on nine
original songs, and gigging in the Baltimore area.
People ask how the band was formed, and we can only answer, organically. It
just happened.
Big Thanks to the SilentJ Army...
From day one, we've had a very supportive fan base, and every month it seems to grow and become more passionate. We find that our fans are as passionate for our music, as we are. For that, we are grateful. We love writing, composing and performing, but without our fans, we'd have nothing.
Liner Notes...
January 17, 2008Our gig last night at the Fish Head Cantina in Arbutus with International Graduate University was fantastic. We had a great turn out, 40+ people on a Wednesday night in January! Awesome. The PA and the sound guys Joe and Scott were amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better night. Everything was spot on, and once again the SilentJ Army totally posted for us. We are so grateful. We are hoping to post some live recordings from the show on MySpace soon.
January 1, 2008
January is shaping up to be the culmination of our winter tour *sic*. We're playing our gig at the Fish Head Cantina in Arbutus with International Graduate University and then we plan to get in on the Open Mic at the 8x10 club. After that we'll be out of commission for awhile. We're taking some time off from playing gigs to work on some new material. We have a bunch of new originals, and we are definatley going to pull out some new covers too.
Sometime in March we should be back on our feet and ready to his Bal'more again. We hope to do some shows by teaming up with some other Baltimore Bands this summer. More to come soon...
