Hello Everyone
Contributors fund ideas they can be passionate about and to people they trust. Here are some things to do in this section:
- Jacob Martin formed in early 2011 in Nashville,Tennessee through the underestimated power of Craigslist. Converging from all parts of the country, Jacob Martin (vocals/rhythm guitar), Josh Carlson (drums/background vocals), Mike Guy (bass/background vocals), and Jeff Coggins (lead guitar) came together to form a powerful, melodic band that captivates both country and rock listeners.
Since forming, the band hit the road and built a following that would later land them opening slots for Keith Urban, Brantley Gilbert, Big and Rich, Kellie Pickler, Lee Brice, Thomas Rhett, and Dustin Lynch, among many others. JMB's debut single from their 2013 limited edition EP, "Wraparound Porch," peaked at #42 on the Music Row chart after being released to national radio in January of 2013. The follow up EP, 'Look At What You Started,' released on October 21, 2014, with a debut iTunes country album chart position of #26.
- We are starting this IndieGoGo so we can take things to the next level in our career. We have so much new music to get out to everyone but as we all know everything take money to make things happen. But we cant do it without your help.
- With your help we will able to release our new EP and along with all of the support we have here in Nashville from the music industry. We can take our new EP to radio and have it played all over the country. But to get on radio takes allot of promotion.

The Impact
- Each contribution is essential to everything we are doing. It helps with radio promotion which is one for the biggest parts of getting our music to radio.
- Our first debut single from out 2013 limited edition EP, "Wraparound Porch," peaked at #42 on the Music Row chart after being released to national radio in January of 2013. The follow up EP, 'Look At What You Started,' released on October 21, 2014, with a debut iTunes country album chart position of #26.
- We know with out our fans we would be nothing so we try to keep in touch with everyone we can and keep them updated personally. Country music fans are some of the best in the world and with out you we can't succeed.
Risks & Challenges
Our primary risk and challenge is timing. Finding the right producer and engineer that can work us within a mutually agreeable time frame can be very challenging. Also, mixing and mastering the new album, as well as creating new album artwork and printing CDs takes time. Taking time away from playing shows and working limits us, so we have to plan this just right.
With all of these things taking planning and coordination, we hope we don't run into any issues. Everything is looking great so far.
- We love to play music and we love to play for the fans we dont ever want to stop.
