    UnderCover Acoustic

    Professor

    MEET THE PROFESSOR

    When Jammin' J finally hooked up with his partner The Professor the true sound of UnderCover Acoustic was created

    The Professor says it all the master of percussions with a Masters in Music, the rhythm and harp bluesman behind this unique sound.
    The Professor truly has a gift for the authentic Delta-style blues harp.

    His background takes you to the world of Classical Music to a venue of Symphonies, the productions on Broadway to the jazz ensembles, church and gospel settings.

    Before creating the duo sound of UnderCover Acoustic, the Professor played with Doc Severson, Aaron Copeland and the sensational Latin percussionists Pete Escovedo and Sheila E. The soulful sound this duo makes will truly become a classical style...

    In the South they would say, This cat can play.Jammin J is both an artist and entrepreneur. He is very energetic and adept at all sides of the music business from writing and publishing to performing with his many guitars. The songs he has written will certainly become classics throughout the year.

    Jay was born in a strong eclectic musical family and as a child traveled with his parents tour bus throughout the US and Europe, to singing in front of his church congregation weekly.

    J's first band, Blue Country was formed in 1988 and along with notoriety, they produced a CD, but bigger and better things were in the works for Jammin J. Throughout the years he has recreated his style and sound which has captured the attention of the media, he has been featured on all the major television stations, ABC, NBC, CBS, cable network and local channels throughout his journey as well as local radio stations.

    Winner of
    the 20:th Final

    Don't Mean You Lost Your Love
    by
    Libby Johnson
    New York, NY,USA

    Libby Johnson's debut solo album 'Annabella' on Wrong Records signals the evolution of a major musical artist.Her previous musical career has been dominated by the beloved and critically acclaimed "tunefully intense" (Billboard) New York City band 22 Brides, formed with her sister Carrie. Producer and Wrong Records chief Daniel Wise recorded 'Annabella' with a veteran band at The Shed in New York.After Wise played a few tracks for "Trust The Man" writer-director Bart Freundlich, the latter decided to edit several scenes around Johnson's music. Julianne Moore, who stars in the New York-set romantic comedy alongside David Duchovny, Billy Crudup and Maggie Gyllenhaal, said, "Libby's music is so soulful and heartfelt. What she's done for this film reminds me of what Aimee Mann did for Magnolia."
    "Trust The Man" also spawned the infectious "Indelible Mark," which plays over the film's end credits. It's one of the most memorable melodies on an album full of them.
