If you are looking for a cover musician or band, expect J.R. to rock the house with his dynamic vocals and jazzy playing. As for J.R.'s original music, you can expect a commitment to originality, songs with quirky lyrics that may make you laugh out loud, but soon speak to you in ways unexpected. With the inclusion of horns and saxophones, mixed with the acoustic guitar and jazz-pop piano, he produces a unique musical landscape for the listener. Influenced by the likes of John Mayer, Steely Dan, Dave Matthews, and Stone Temple Pilots, J.R.’s music sounds suspiciously like the love child of jazz and rock ‘n roll. Whether it be a rock-pop song or a slow piano ballad, J. R. continues to amaze his fans with his distinctive musical style.
J.R. Byrd first knew he was destined to be a songwriter when he realized he was too slow & too short to play in the National Basketball Association. With his b-ball dreams dashed, he resorted to practicing gloomy Chopin nocturnes. With a little instrumental facility under his belt, Byrd began writing simple gooey love songs for various middle school crushes, which in turn often netted him Hershey Kisses, but never kiss kisses. It wasn’t until his senior year of high school when he played the greasy role of Kenickie that girls started to notice J.R.’s vocal lightning. In music school Byrd’s song-smithing got “all growns up”, and he really delved into the acoustic guitar as his main songwriting tool. Now, Byrd’s main focus is on continuing to develop as a wicked, yet somewhat righteous, solo artist.
