About Me


A concept band based out of Morgantown, WV - THE ADVENTURES OF MAXIMUM JACKSON has quickly developed a reputation as being diverse, energetic, and engaging. As mentioned, TAOMJ is a concept band, a format rarely used by musical groups in today's music industry.
The concept of the band is a story about the life and adventures of a character by the name of Maximum Jackson. His story is told through the music; each composition is a page of Maximum Jacksons autobiography.
Some songs contain lyrics that provide the listener a glimpse of an episode from his life. Other compositions are instrumental, wrote by the band with a specific story in mind. Only the song titles of these pieces give the listener a clue as to what the songs are about, the rest is left up to the listeners imagination.
If you want some more history about the mysterious Maximum Jackson, be sure to read our blog. It contains some episodes from his many adventures.
