JBiA (James Brown
Is Annie) formed in a piano bar, rehearse next to a sex shop, and take their
name from a Saturday Night Live Eddie Murphy sketch.
In 2014, the band
received investment from Creative Scotland to record its debut album with
Average White Band saxophonist Molly Duncan producing.
Mastered by
Atlantic Records' Gene Paul, Average White Band's Alan Gorrie contributed a
song (debut single, Ask Your Doctor), exclusively for the band's album, to be
released on 22nd February - 40 years to the day AWB's Pick Up The
Pieces topped the American charts.
Regular recipients
of national press and national radio air-play, JBiA have opened shows for the
likes of AWB, Little Feat, Electric 6, Spin Doctors, Robert Cray, Public
Service Broadcasting, to name but a few. They opened again for The Average
White Band on May 8th at the 02, Glasgow.
They will be
debuting in London on the 20th June at The PizzaExpress Jazz Club, joined by
Molly Duncan himself.
Their self-titled
album was released on Friday 24 April.
