   ABOUT JONATHAN BIRCHFIELD   

   HOME
For more than 18 years JB has toured throughout the southeast with this band. There were smaller tours that took the band to New York, Dallas, and Chicago, but the biggest fan base has developed in the southeast.

“We were on the road all the time. There was one tour that we did that was all on Islands. 2 weeks in Key West, 2 weeks in Captiva Island, Fl, 2 weeks in Hilton Head, SC, back to Key West for another 2 weeks. And then we finished it off with a week in Amelia Island, FL and a weekend at the Sand dollar on James Island, SC. It was great! We were young and could go all night and get up do it again night after night. I think we played over 250 days that year."


With the funky sounds of Little Feat, the driving country of Delbert McClinton and John Hiatt, the harmonies of CS&N, Eagles and Jackson Browne, rounded out with JB's originals that have been compared to Lyle Lovett, and Dave Wilcox. This band has such a wide variety of music and styles that every ear will be entertained. “Back in the day when we first started playing in Key West at Margaritaville, Buffett wanted us to be the “Shrimpers”. You know wear the slickers, boots and everything. "But I think the idea came from too much Tequila and Coronas”. We still laugh about the idea to this day. We’ve shared the stage on more than one occasion. Jimmy has been great friend to me and my band. Though we’re not the Reefers, Jimmy knows if he wants to come up and jam at Margaritaville, or play a show like the Friday afternoon Street Fest he has no worries that we’ll have a large time and play some great music."


JB has always surrounded himself with some great musicians throughout the years. The configuration has pretty much stayed the same but recently changed due to scheduling conflicts. Jonathan
is handling all of the guitar duties.

Rob Rousseau on Keyboards brings a new dimension to the band. His high energy and great voice  added with excellent skills on the keys allows the band to add numerous songs to the playlist.
 
Rick Cline is has taken on the  responsibilities of percussion and singing some great harmonies. Rick is an accomplished percussionist. When Rick, Rob, Klee and JB sing together the air buzzes with harmony.
