CITIZEN JAYNE BRINGS THE ROCK!
Citizen Jayne hails from Birmingham Alabama. The group was formed early in 2007 and has been gigging non-stop ever since. Guys and gals leave a Citizen Jayne show feeling great - a little worn out and tipsy maybe, but great. Searing, intense, and a ton of fun are just a few of the ways fans have described the band's music and shows.
John McCollum is Citizen Jayne's lead vocalist. John is a fantastic singer and frontman, and has performed with numerous circuit bands, including Grind, FaceDown, and Tailgunner. During his career John has opened for the likes of Godsmack, Poison, Cinderella, Winger, and Faster Pussycat. John also lends his powerful voice to many of the area's top circuit bands on occasion (such as Four on the Floor, Fly-by Radio, None the Weiser), and is a favorite among local musicians. John welcomes the intimacy of a crowd, and loves to invoke crowd participation, often enticing crowds to sing along with him.
Curt Granger is Citizen Jayne's guitarist. Curt has an extensive history of recording and performing with established circuit bands, including Pyrate, Scream Sophie, and Traumatide - all which recorded and released full length CDs internationally and performed countless shows all across the southeast and midwest US. While with these bands Curt played dates with artists such as Atlanta Rhythm Section, 38 Special, Mr. Big, Molley Hatchet, Will and the Bushman, Damon Johnson, Sum 41, and Good Charlotte. Anyone who's seen and heard Curt play knows he plays with fire, conviction, and has a solid command of his instrument. He can also tell some of the best "road stories."
Ed Isbell is Citizen Jayne's bassist. Formerly with FaceDown and Even Steven, Ed is a "bass player's bassist" adding tasty, yet rock-solid parts to the foundation of the rhythm section. Ed's no stranger to the big stage, having performed shows with Poison, Cinderella, and Godsmack. Ed's been around and just about seen it all. He's by far one of the best rock bassists performing on the circuit today.
Frank Norred is Citizen Jayne's drummer. Formerly with Mothers Medicine, Even Steven, and The Candy Shines Band, Frank is a dedicated student of tempo and meter, with impeccable timing. Frank has performed on big stages with Godsmack, Poison, Cinderella, and Faster Pussycat. Frank serves up the grooves that make everyone want to dance. He'll also leave you in stitches with one of his jokes.
Citizen Jayne has their sites set on entertaining as many people as possible and bringing the "authentic, no-frills" rock to wherever they perform. Citizen Jayne is available to play club gigs, private functions, outdoor festivals, or any other event where an experienced, great sounding rock band is needed.

Here's the new FAQ!!

1. Who maintains this page? Who replies to your messages? We all do. We all attempt to indicate who the message is from when necessary.

2. Will my friend request be approved? Most likely. No need to message us to be added, just click "add to friends" - we do try to approve the requests ASAP, however some days are busier than others, we do try to get in there at least once or twice a day and approve everyone!

3. Why no HTML comments? The comments get really cluttered and images tend to wreck the layout, so we are not allowing it. Also no spam of any kind please. The main focus is to keep this profile Citizen Jayne-related. If you are a "real" friend of ours and post a small comment about a show or your new website, we'll probably allow it. If you don't know us and add us as a friend just to post a big comment about your new "widget of the day" we'll most likely delete it. Sorry, our page is not a "free billboard." Since MySpace implemented the resize comment feature, we've allowed HTML comments.

4. Can I send fan mail here? Will it get to you? Sure will!

5. Can I hire you to play at my party? Yes! We're very affordable, and can scale our show for most situations. Please contact us for details and the requirements for your engagement.

6. Do you have a song list so I can see what songs you play? Sure do. Check out our new SonicBids EPK and click on Set List.

7. I would love to post one of your banners on my Myspace, but can't figure out how. Can you tell me how to do it? Sure can. Go to our FAQ on our website for details.

8. I took photos of you at a show. How do I send them to you? Will you post them? Same deal as 7. :)

9. Does Citizen Jayne play any original material? Not yet, although we are already discussing it. Writing and recording take a lot of time, but we're definitely hoping to.

10. You have a photo of me that needs to be deleted. How do I get it removed? Sorry, we don't have time to spend removing photos. If you were caught in a photo doing something you shouldn't have been doing, then DON'T DO IT.

Have a question? Let us know!
