The Jon Klein Combine have entertained audiences for the past 10 years, so why haven’t you heard of them? After listening to their track, “Save Me”, on Steppin’ Out’s upcoming More Music Volume 6 CD, you won’t believe that a band of this caliber isn’t flooding the airwaves. Jon Klein, Steve Linane, Dave Lepak, Matt Klein, and Chris Badami are the talented musicians behind the irresistible traditional blues/hard rock sound. Mixing Ray Charles with Led Zeppelin and Rage Against the Machine may be a risk most bands aren’t willing to take, but JKC makes it look like child’s play. With music full of attitude that is sophisticated but gritty, it’s no wonder the band hails from the New Jersey/ New York metro area. For more information on a band that “believes in a good natured, musical ass whoopin”, checkout www.jonkleincombine.com. If you want to experience JKC live, they will be performing at The Stanhope House on Friday, August 11. Don’t keep this band a secret any longer.

Bio
The Jon Klein Combine is 80% blues, 80% rock and 40% soul and funk; which makes for 200% of fiercely indignant blues derivative music. From traditional blues to hard rock, the JKC delivers quality music that they would term "New Old School".
Drawing deep from within the tradition of American Blues, The JKC's music harkens back to blues greats like Freddy King, Bobby Bland and Ray Charles, while staying current with influences like Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, Deep Banana Blackout, Chris Duarte, Sound Garden, Rage Against The Machine and others. Sounds diverse? Well it is and it works!!
The JKC has been brandishing their blues derivative music for the past ten years and are the best kept underground musical secret in the northeast. Hailing from the New Jersey/New York metro area, The JKC embodies this region's personality with songs that are tough, down, dirty and direct. Each tune carries with it the sophisticated, gritty, insightful, brash and unapologetic attitude of the band.
If you are tired of the same old shuffle blues, jam-bandish self-indulgence or angst-driven teenie bopper rock, than you are on the same page as The Jon Klein Combine. The JKC is looking to recruit you into their army of fans that looks for music based on quality and not packageing. The JKC is a band with a no-nonsense approach and definite philosophy. The Jon Klein Combine believes in a good natured, musical ass whoopin!!!
