  Fittingly, it was in the small steel town of Ashland, Kentucky, where Genuine Junk Band first made sparks fly with a passion for music and a similar vision of creativity.
  It was 1999, and word spread about the ensemble band playing its own "junk" style that blended elements of roots rock, jazz, blues, and bluegrass with ideas reflective of the band members personal experiences. Without ever intending to do so, the group began to create a unique sound that could only be described as "Junk Music."

So GJB set out like countless others before to make a name for themselves. They spent time solidifying the line-up, becoming seasoned and educated musicians, and making efforts to become successful with their art. They soon realized they would have to "take the show on the road" and so that's just what they did!

  GJB have now released 3 eclectic albums all being distributed by 9 Lives Record Label including the latest release "Junk Radio" produced by Eddie Ashworth(Sublime, Great White). 
   Still, after all the years together, the group's goal is as simple and straight forward as ever, to perform the music they love just hoping it resonates with listeners!
