Biography:

Concrete Jumpsuit is bringing the live concert experience all back to having a damn good time. Their foundation in roots music provides fans with a familiar anchor while forward moving improvisational excursions keeps crowds coming back. Their dedication to the road - in and out of bars, clubs, and parties - has made them a staple for a night out with your closest friends, old and new. Shawndra Russell says the band "aims to keep things as authentic as possible" (Savannah Morning News 8.24.11) while Jared Booth remembers, “Concrete Jumpsuit pulled the audience in closer with their intense jams, always holding right at the edge of bubbling over" (Charleston City Paper, 2.7.12).

Press:

“Just as they keep their lyrics based on authentic experiences, Concrete Jumpsuit also aims to keep things as authentic as possible when it comes to their sound. Concrete Jumpsuit wants to bring this sound to people everywhere, and they are one step closer to that goal thanks to being added to the “official” touring artist roster with Follywood Productions. ”
Shawndra Russell - Savannah Morning News

“Concrete Jumpsuit pulled the audience in closer with their intense jams, always holding right at the edge of bubbling over, but kept together with hard and fast rhythms”
Jared Booth - Charleston City Paper

“Every band can't pull off being purely analog but this Columbia, S.C., quintet is an exception. Blending rock, funk and soul these folks are a jam band in the truest sense. Solid tunes, honest vocals, nothing's over done. But don't think they're entirely no frills — their live sets thrive on improvisation, meaning no two shows are exactly alike.”
Mike McCray, - Creative Loafing-Charlotte

"Concrete Jumpsuit, a funk rock band that's known to cause people to dance (if that's what they call it), has a song titled "Sit Down." Here's a question: With a funky and stout rhythm, how are people going to do that?"
Otis Taylor - The State

"Concrete Jumpsuit is a party band without the cheesy party antics: lame cover repertoires. CJ adds elements of jam to its modern rock, which pleases a large demographic."
Otis Taylor - The State
