The Jompson Brothers were born in a garage in Nashville, TN as a result of late-night jam sessions between former SteelDrivers vocalist and 3X Grammy nominee, Chris Stapleton (vocals, guitar) and Greg McKee (guitar). Bard McNamee (drums) and J.T. Cure (bass) were soon added to the equation, more jamming ensued, and the lineup was complete. The Jompson Brothers' self-titled debut (produced by Frank Rogers) was released in the Fall of 2010 and has drawn comparisons to Led Zeppelin, Gov't Mule, and Drive-By Truckers.
