""Four on the Floor" Review"

“I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the success of Jackson Rohm’s last CD, “Red Light Fever,” which had four tracks hit high levels of rotation on at our station, Kiss-FM. However, I find Jackson’s new record, “Four on the Floor”, to be his finest work yet. This album’s material has reached a new level that rivals the best in today’s pop music. Artists like Rob Thomas, John Mayer, and Lifehouse come to mind as comparisons. I can’t wait to see the reaction of our listeners as we begin spinning Jackson’s new songs.”
- WKZA (Program Director) in Jamestown, NY


"On The Rise: Jackson Rohm"

If there's anything to be said for Jackson Rohm, it's that he's unmistakably humble about his talent and success. A singer/songwriter who grew up in Jamestown, Rohm has all the makings of a successful big-time musician, touring and playing for different audiences each place he travels. He has album cover good looks and a sense of humor onstage. He plays music that makes you dance and lyrics that make you listen. He has everything, except the stereotypical rock star-type ego. "I'd love to play stadiums to tens of thousands of people, but I have a great time playing to a couple hundred," Rohm admitted. Rohm concentrates on honest music, and you don't have to be a local to appreciate his sound and lyrics. He sings about universal topics such as, love and loss, success and failure, pleasure and pain. His acoustic sound reels you in and keeps you hanging, waiting for the chorus. Rohm's vocals are alive with emotion as well, sometimes subtle, other times celebratory. His music is unique in the fact that whether you're a long-time fan or a first-time listener, the songs linger with you, like the past night's dream you just don¹t seem to want to stop reliving. Jackson Rohm has recorded three full-length albums, Twisted and Misguided, Sink or Swim, and Red Light Fever, and songs like "One More Fourth of July", "Rio", and his version of Concrete Blonde's "Joey" all have that same staying power in your mind. When Jackson Rohm was asked if he had wishes of hitting the big time, his modesty crept in once again. "That's always a goal. I realize that's a goal not many musicians achieve. I mean just because you're a star quarterback on the high school football team, it doesn't mean you'll make it to the NFL." But Rohm isn't showing signs of hanging up his cleats, or guitar for that matter. He has an extensive road schedule this fall, including several local dates, as well as gigs in Buffalo, Ohio, Chicago, Indiana, and more. He's sponsored by Leinenkugel beer (distributed locally by Salamanca Beverage) and can be heard on radio stations across the North East and beyond. (In Jamestown, listen for Rohm on 106.9 Kiss FM.) His newest project will begin in early November, when Rohm plans to get back into the studio in Atlanta with a band to record a brand new album. He anticipates the album's release to be in the spring of 2006, with a set of new tracks for fans to enjoy. And Jackson Rohm demonstrates dedication to his music and his fans, through and through. "I'm always going to keep doing this," Rohm said of his future. "If I get thirty emails from people saying they like my music, that's enough for me. Regardless of whether I'm ever signed to a big record contract, I'm always going to keep writing, I'm always going to be recording, and as long as there are people coming to my shows, I'm always going to keep playing the way I do now." As he remains unassuming, focused on his art and the people it touches, Jackson Rohm's star continues to rise. And as it does, we Western New Yorkers are proud to call him one of our own. You can catch Jackson Rohm at Shawbuck's on Friday, October Seventh and at the Ellicottville Brewing Company on Saturday, October Eighth.

"New Artists to Watch"

Jackson Rohm's latest CD, Red Light Fever, features 12 original and literate pop/rock songs that are melodic in the classic sense. The tunes also showcase Rohm's expressive singing voice, which is the most compelling instrument recorded here. The lone cover song is a version of Concrete Blonde's "Joey" that's cool but unnecessary, as Rohm's songs are strong enough to carry the day on their own.

""Four on the Floor" a Very Solid, Fun Album"

“There are definitely some hit songs and the album, as a whole, is perfect to throw in on a long drive. The music is catchy and easy to relate to. It’s pop, but also has country crossover appeal. Standout tracks include 'Waste of Time' and 'Some Things Never Change.' Both have tremendous radio appeal” - Zach Davis, A&R - ATG Promotions


"Best of New York"

The Western New York area has a rich crop of talented singer songwriters, Jackson Rohm of Mayville, NY can be included in that group with his latest release Red Light Fever. The music takes on a Mid-Western urgency and Heartland sound most closely identified with John Mellencamp, Tom Petty and other of the genre. Rohm plays hook filled songs that are sometimes anthemic but never bombastic or clichéd. That is due to the clean clear production from Steve Jacula and Rohm. The disc begins with the jangly guitar sounds of “Bleeding”. The celebratory sound of “One More Fourth Of July” and the subdued organ sound on “Honesty Is Easy” are highlights as well as “Three Miles To Lexington” and the title track “Red Light Fever”. Rohm also takes on one of the most under rated song ever, Concrete Blonde’s “Joey” with great results. Other tracks worth mentioning are “Anchor” and the bluesy CD closer “Snug Harbor Lounge”.

Bio

With his eagerly anticipated 2006 release, “Four on the Floor”, Jackson Rohm is poised for his big break. After years of traveling and playing hundreds of shows nationwide while recording four albums, Rohm is ready for the big time.

His new album is largely comprised of acoustic driven material, but also features a few raw, rigorous ballads. “There are definitely some hit songs and the album, as a whole, is perfect to throw in on a long drive. The music is catchy and easy to relate to. It’s pop, but also has country crossover appeal.” – Zach Davis, ATG Promotions.

Jackson developed his talents through hard work and devotion to his listeners and clearly has a great time playing for his fans. While attending Miami University in Ohio, Rohm first realized his passion could become a career reality. Jackson adds, “I started playing out at bars in college in an effort to make a little cash while still being able to hang out with all my friends. Quickly, the venues started filling up and I was raking in some decent money. The concept of the “cover charge” soon showed me that playing live music can actually be quite lucrative. And the excitement from performing and interacting with people is just something I’d never get from a typical job.”

Rohm soon realized what was evident to those around him: that he had a gift as a performer and a songwriter. Upon graduation and a short stint in law school, Jackson headed for the road, aggressively touring the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast and Midwest. During this time, appreciation grew vastly for Jackson’s musical abilities, album-cover good looks, and affable nature. But even more importantly, Jackson’s talent as a songwriter grew stronger of which he notes, “As a young songwriter, I embraced the role of the storyteller, taking situations and encounters I’d have in my travels and translating them into lyrics that others can relate to in their lives. I’ve always been very critical of the words to my songs and strive to communicate exactly what I’m feeling at the time in a way that is clear to my audience, but uniquely different as well. Often, that involves exposing myself more than I am comfortable with, but I believe that is essential. To connect with your audience, you really have to throw yourself out there.”

J.J. Michaels, Program Director at WKZA in Jamestown, NY states, “I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the success of Jackson Rohm’s last CD, “Red Light Fever,” which had four tracks hit high levels of rotation on at our station, Kiss-FM. However, I find Jackson’s new record, “Four on the Floor”, to be his finest work yet. This album’s material has reached a new level that rivals the best in today’s pop music.
