From that first show, the band has continued to tour building a strong fan base in their home state of North Carolina. Fronted by former Athens, GA music veteran Matty Russo (Mishap, Zuko), the quartet mixes acoustic and electric guitars, piano, and mandolin along with a tight rhythm section to deliver meaningful, concise rock songs. The soulful vocal harmonies created by Russo and Matthew Bergenn (lead guitar, piano, mandolin) give their songs an upbeat vibe and accent melodies that you'll find yourself singing along to for days after a show.Along with an already busy tour schedule, Joceifus Rifle currently resides as the "House Band" for Raleigh Radio Station "100.7 The River."Joceifus Rifle's first full length CD Classic City Sessions was recorded at Tom Lewis Recording in Athens, GA. The 16 Track CD was released in January 2007. JR is slated to record a new CD in the winter of 2009...stay tuned for some great new songs!!!
