Jackson Taylor Lee
Frontman
Jackson's passion for entertaining has always shown as a major part of his personality. His musicianship began at a young age as a member of his grandparents theater program, where he learned to sing. He then picked up a guitar at age 9, from inspiration in his grandfather (Jack Jeckot *bio below*). He furthered his training as a part of his high school band and in drum and bugle corps hornlines.
Many other inspirations struck him throughout the years. Such as, Eddie Van Halen and John Petrucci, but it was when he discovered blues legends like BB King, SRV, Jimi Hendrix, Walter Trout, Eric Gales, Eric Johnson and Joe Bonamassa, that Jackson felt connected with the blues and began to pursue the genre.
​
After many experiences playing on the road with Walter Trout, Jackson was committed, and knew what he wanted to do with his life. Chasing this passion has always been a dream.
Josh Myers
Bassist
Josh grew up inspired by the music being played around him by his father, Bruce. He began his own musical explorations at nine years old as a saxophonist in his school concert band, as well as in his HS marching band - where he met Jackson.
At age 14, Josh saved for his first bass, and channeled strong inspirations from Geddy Lee (Rush), Chris Squire (Yes), and Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers). Josh’s childhood friend Jude played drums and shared a music taste with him, and they always played their favorite songs together. After branching out and exploring new music, he discovered great bassists like Victor Wooten and Joe Dart (Vulfpeck) both inspiring him to take a leap of faith and give music all he's got.
Josh is thrilled to be out playing and entertaining crowds. He is the groove of JTBc.
Jack Jeckot
Keyboardist
Jack was born in Albany, New York. At the age of 8 his family moved to South Jersey where he still resides today with his wife, Christine. He credits his grandmother’s piano playing and his grandfather’s banjo strumming as his first musical influences, then Ray Charles, The Beatles and other 60’s influences. As a teen, Jack became proficient playing rock-and-roll and blues piano. Since the 7th grade Jack has played guitar, piano, organ, brass and sang lead in several rock groups including Wilmont Mews which started the career of the great blues guitar virtuoso, Walter Trout.
Jack attended West Chester University and majored in Music Education. During his teaching years in Mt. Laurel, NJ, Jack and Christine directed a middle school theater program, while also performing with The BB Jackson Band. Jack and Christine created, composed, produced and directed 15 original stage musicals. Now after 40 years, Jack is retired from teaching and is back to being a full-time musician.
Since May of 2013, Jack has been touring with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Richie Furay of Buffalo Springfield, Poco and Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. When back in Jersey, Jack really enjoys playing keys with his grandson (Jackson) and JTBc.
Bobby Palladino
Drummer
Bobby’s love for music developed at a very young age. Growing up in a musically inclined family, he was eager to carry on the family tradition of becoming a musician.
Singing in choirs all throughout his life, his parents and family always knew there was something else he had to offer. At the age of five, they bought Bobby his first drum kit. He started really teaching himself how to play once he started playing in school bands. Over the years, he would occasionally take private lessons, yet most of his learning would come from watching YouTube videos.
During his time in school, Bobby participated in almost every music ensemble their program had to offer. His experience ranges from jazz and marching bands, to select choirs and state orchestra. He met Jackson when they marched drum corps together in 2024!
Bobby is currently studying Jazz Drumset Performance at Temple University. He hopes to perform around the world, teach privately, and give back what was given to him from the music community.
