THE STORY OF THE BJS “One of the grooviest bands to come out of Washington, DC.” ~ Fatea Magazine (UK) Bumper Jacksons are hot and sweet, painting America’s story from the streets of New Orleans to Appalachian hollers. Unafraid to scrap together new sounds from forgotten 78’s, the Bumper Jacksons elegantly balance paying homage to the traditions while fashioning their own unique, playful style. The group began as a duo, a city-meets-country experiment between songstress Jess Eliot Myhre and banjo player Chris Ousley. They hopped on bicycles, touring the country, instruments on their backs, seeking to reimagine roots music. In five short years, Bumper Jacksons grew to a fiery five-piece, with horns and pedal steel. They now tour internationally, and have been honored multiple times as the Mid-Atlantic’s “Artist of the Year,” “Best Country/Americana Band” and “Best Folk Band” at the Washington Area Music Awards. Bursting at the seams with some of the richest threads of old America, Bumper Jacksons bring you into the center of a party where everyone’s invited and the dance floor never sleeps.

For more information about Bumper Jacksons, including their interest in musical education for children and adults, instrumentalists and vocalists, please visit www.bumperjacksons.com.

JESS ELIOT MYHRE VOCALS. CLARINET. WASHBOARD. SONGWRITING. TROUBLE. A native Floridian, Jess grew up singing in church and swinging from banyan trees. Her mother swears she could sing before she could talk and swim before she could walk. As a girl, she dutifully learned her scales on clarinet and euphonium and marched with gusto in competitive southern marching bands. At Wesleyan University, she set aside her instruments in favor of books, limiting her music to her voice, where she sang in funk and soul bands. After college, she moved to New Orleans to teach and build school gardens, but became mesmerized by the big, uproarious glory of the street bands and second lines. She dusted off her lonely old clarinet, built herself her iconic frog washboard, and somehow convinced the local bands to let her sit in. She fell in love with American traditional music and dove right in. Over the last seven years, that deep dive has continued – Jess now performs and teaches all over the country: in performance halls, theaters, universities, festivals, dance tents, music camps, house concerts, the woods, on the back of bicycles... She produces an annual tribute to Patsy Cline, has added guitar and upright bass to her repertoire, and has become an award-winning songwriter.

Jess has two awesomely adventurous little rascals and she loves being a mom more than anything in this big, crazy world. She spends her time with them in Brentwood, Maryland, hiking local trails or making Christmas cookies at all times of the year.

CHRIS OUSLEY VOCALS. GUITARS. BANJO. SONGWRITING. SHENANIGANS. A Maryland boy, Chris tramped off to the hills of western Pennsylvania to study the 3 B’s: books, beer and banjos. There he woodshedded with old hill cats in barns outside of abandoned steel and coal towns playing any instrument he could take a turn on and hitting mountain trails, biking over rough terrain, rafting down rivers, all with a bottle of whiskey and a banjo on his back. Chris’s deep jazz pocket and graceful Kentucky-style banjo is only outmatched by the snarlyness of his beard. He was the one bold enough to believe that he and Jess could make music for a living and is solely responsible for all of the shenanigans that embody the Bumper Jacksons.

Together, Chris and Jess Eliot formed the core of the Bumper Jacksons in 2012. Their initial meeting fueled a riotous impromptu jam on the lawn of a radical bike house in Washington, D.C.… The music never quit since.

ALEX LACQUEMENT UPRIGHT BASS. HARMONY VOCALS. DAD JOKES. Alex swears that it was beautiful sirens who led him to the upright bass at the impressionable age of 17. With lots of practice under his belt and two degrees in music education from Eastman (M.M.) and James Madison University (B.A.), he has found a home laying down some groovy bass lines with the Bumper Jacksons. His first music love, which led him to the upright bass, was jazz music, something he studied vigorously. Years later he found himself chasing every opportunity to play some happy thumping lines with bluegrass and old-time string bands. Over the past seven years, Alex has become an invaluable third leg of the Bumper Jacksons, tasked not only with bass-playing duties and helping with arrangements and tour logistics, but also keeping Chris in line.

DAN SAMUELS DRUMS. PERCUSSION. HANDSTANDS. Dan Samuels was raised on a strict diet of polycultural rhythms. From the Jewish music he sang at home, at synagogue, and in school to the rhythm and blues, folk, classical, and traditional zulu music constantly played on his parents’ home stereo, there was seldom a shortage of new sounds for “Bunny” (as his parents still call him) to take in. Dan’s love of music from around the world was cultivated throughout his upbringing and led him to work and collaborate with artists from around the globe – Honduras, Cape Verde, Senegal, Mali, Ghana, Benin, Cote d’Ivoire, Egypt, Yemen, Cuba, Norway, Tuva, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, Haiti, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Brazil ... just to name a few.

As a drummer, Dan’s playing creates a deep pocket for his bandmates’ sounds to snuggle up inside, while keeping enough room for everyone to get up and SHAKE IT! Mr. Samuels also enjoys gardening, hockey, puppies, kittens, and cooking meals with his friends and family. He also loves his mum and dad.

DAVE “DUCKPIN” HADLEY PEDAL STEEL. COFFEE FINDER. Growing up in rural Northwest Illinois, Dave was learning guitar when he heard a pedal steel guitar being played for the first time at the local music store. He became completely obsessed with the sounds that the instrument could create, bought one, and then would sometimes lock himself in a room and practice for eight hours a day during summer vacation and play along to a stack of albums of various genres. Since then, he’s played and recorded with hundreds of artists and musicians, adding unique sounds and textures to the music. Dave is not only a pedal steel monster, but has donned the very-important caps of “The Captain,” “The Rainman,” and “Ray-of-Sunshine Hadley” (helping drive the band’s van, Olga, on tour, giving us the weather report, and being resident cynicist) for over six years now.
