While they last toured the UK at the end of a riotous festival season in 2016,
the quintet are finally set to return to the live circuit with SMOKE AND MIRRORS - the long-awaited
follow-up to 2015’s #6 Official Country Chart charting HERE WE GO AGAIN.
With lead vocalist Jess the happiest she has ever been, the writing process for upcoming album Smoke & Mirrors saw her in a very different frame of mind to those for the band’s debut. Having been swept off her feet by her Prince Charming, photographer Chris Peavey, Jess is radiating happiness following her engagement earlier this year.

Dancetastic and Thought Provoking Modern
Country Music: The ever smiling Texan,
Jessica Clemmons sounds breathless on opening track the almost evangelical I’m
Still Not Going Home, which could be the band’s signature tune as she throws
down a marker to the rest of the young upstarts on the circuit at the moment;
especially the current wave of Brit-Country bands.
Oh Dear Lord, the title track which comes in at #2 is as close to a Classic Country belter as anything I’ve heard in donkey’s years, with Jess using her magnificent voice to full effect as a choir gives it everything behind her…..Read More Rocking Magpie

Of Smoke & Mirrors, Jess says; “I am so excited about
this album. I wanted to make sure that the sound grew and developed,
Experimenting a little even. Gospel music is so close to my heart that I knew I
needed to bring those elements into this new record. Smoke & Mirrors is a
labour of love. A collection of songs that will take the listener on a
journey.”
Having already teased fans with the instant grat. Kings of Summer, the band are excited to reveal the gospel drive of Sister, which is a euphoric rallying call to women all around the world. Although it still has the rock bite of the band’s earlier releases, Jess explains, “This sound is very different from what many people are used to hearing from JATB. We wanted to go head first into a gospel feel. Something that has been part of country music for years and years but not really a part of U.K. country music. We took the story telling aspect of country music, threw a little pop in there for good measure and then took the listener to church with an incredible gospel choir.”
