Date 8/13/10 Location The ND Doors 9pm Tickets $12 @ Frontgate The incredible A.A. Bondy is making another appearance in Austin at the ND this Friday. Joining the talented singer songwriter on the stage for a dual headlining show is JBM . The ND website also has veteran Austin act [...]
Last night we stopped in at Mercury Lounge to catch fantastic sets from two fiercely divergent songwriters, and to celebrate a record release to boot. The first, Sondre Lerche , delivered his customary playful, endearing, and rocking set. In contrast, Jesse Marchant (as JBM ) delivered a set that leveraged his own unique musicality over a variety of genres and sounds. Sondre Lerche took to the stage just after 9:30, and broke into the set with a new song on a tuned [...]
Last night as we were puttering our way around the internet (as we are wont to do), we stumbled upon the musical awesomeness of JBM . The enterprise is the musical pursuit of Jesse Marchant, and sees its first real release to the world tomorrow, with the full length not even in July . The record (which is streaming in full on JBM's site) is an unnerving mix of genres that is all at once atmospheric, melodic, and steeped in the annals of rock and roll. Much of the record [...]
We've shared our excitement in bringing Nathaniel Rateliff to the Club Garibaldi tomorrow ( buy tickets here ). This show is more than just bringing one of our favorites back to town, it's also our first opportunity seeing JBM , who opens the show, and who we've gotten into on the recommendation of friends . JBM is the recording outlet of Jesse Marchant. On comparison, it's safe to say this would sound right at home in the ears Iron & Wine and Yim Yames [...]
Given the volume of music available for consideration on One Track Mind, we invariably have to pass on a lot of tasty morsels. [tweetmeme] In a desire to share even more great, free music with you, the Sunday Sampler will offer a handful of tracks without the usual critical and biographical write-up. Less talk, more tunes. The Drums "It Will All End in Tears" from The Drums [ released 6/8 | indie rock ] [...]
Saturday is becoming a place to put all the extras and such that come my way during the week via email, twitter, blog posts on other blogs, etc. Not that these items are undeserving of their own dedicated post, but more so it is easy to not have to concoct a "theme" post in order to put something of interest on the blog. Something like that. Recommendations (to me) : Thy Courage Quail - acoustic lo-fi recordings from a BandCamp troubadour. Some really good tunes from this guy - two albums (well, [...]
Ambitions & War - JMB Ambitions & War - JMB ( Buy ) After becoming a fixture in film soundtracks, Canadian singer-songwriter Jesse Marchant (aka JBM ) is finally set to release his debut album July 27 in hopes of making a name for himself outside the realm of films. Not Even In July features fantastic instrumentals, as expected from a musician who got his start on soundtracks. Years introduces the album with a beautiful mixture of strings and the plucking of an acoustic guitar, drawing the [...]
Jesse Marchant is someone with a buttery tongue. Known as JBM to the music community, we recently were turned onto his music, and specifically the honey-of-a-song called " Ambitions & War " off his soon to be released album on July 27th (Partisan Records), " Not Even In July ". " Ambitions & War " is like BREAD meets AMERICA, and it's a song my wife plays about 5 times a day about someone that's losing their mind. It's brilliant and I'm told it's about life in Los Angeles, which [...]
Debi Del Grande had the chance to sit down with up and comers Man/Miracle before their set opening for Rouge Wave at El Rey Theater. See what this promising band has to say and enjoy her review of the show below. Winding down their three-week and first-ever tour with fellow Oaklanders, Rogue Wave, I caught up with the guys from Man/Miracle while they were dining on some sushi before the gig. Sitting down with Dylan Travis (lead vocals/guitar), Tyler Corelitz (drums), Ian Benedetti (guitar/vocals) and Brian Kennedy [...]
The legendary Fillmore in San Francisco, CA has played host to thousands of bands loud and quiet, yet the first 20 minutes of JBM's opening set on Friday, April 30th were eerily dead still and pin drop silent that any conversations prompted the evil eyes of those around them. Also known as Jesse Marchant, JBM is a singer-songwriter in the vein of the Conor Oberst, and Band of Horses, i.e.- Americana with the touch of sensuality that draws you in, wraps you up in angelic whispers of sweet-nothingness. It may be waxing a tad too poetic, but, despite [...]
The first thing that ran through mine and Donnie Featha's mind when we belatedly walked into Fine Line Music Cafe for the Rogue Wave show was, "Wow, I wish I was balding cause then I'd fit in..." There weren't really that many old people, Donnie Featha and I just like to be dramatic, but there was a significantly older crowd at this show than the Passion Pit , Spoon , or The Hood Internet shows. Demographics aside, the show was fantastic. Both Donnie and I [...]
JBM is the music of Jesse Marchant, whose debut full length recording relays the peaceful bliss he found recording and living in a church on the Hudson in New York. In recent months he's opened for several KCRW favorites including St. Vincent, The Tallest Man on Earth and on national tours with Rogue Wave and Sondre Lerche. We celebrate the release of Not Even in July with Today's Top Tune, the track is " Cleo's Song ."

I was walking alone down Sixth Street on Friday night around 1am, listening to the music pouring out through every open window and door into the warm night air. My boots clacked on the asphalt as I tucked away a BBQ sandwich from a street cart to drown some of the Shiner Bock. Everyone I walked past had a smile and sometimes a nice word or even a hug. I felt so in my element, so alive. I had the pleasure of attending the 2010 South by Southwest Music Festival [...]
Sometimes, it's important to refuel. I have some albums that I slip on every day, and they fit like my favorite pair of jeans. I will never, ever get tired of hearing R.E.M.'s Life's Rich Pageant , or Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins. That's just how it is. I don't necessarily look for them every day, but they always find their way back to me. Of course, which albums stick around the house for a while is really up to the season. Sun Kil Moon works better in Fall and Winter, and The B-52's are a Summer [...]

JBM is the official moniker for Jesse Marchant , a skilled purveyor of moody, sometimes despairing but always deeply affecting songcraft on his acclaimed debut album Not Even In July , released in 2009 but finally receiving wider availability April 13. Recalling Nick Drake, Alexi Murdoch , Jose Gonzalez and the more reflective folk works of Neil Young, Marchant keeps things on a simmer stylistically, creating eerie minor-key masterworks of despair, loneliness and loss surrounded by a haunting [...]
