Jamestown Revival

Jamestown Revival was created when Jonathan Clay and Zach Chance met when they were 14 in Magnolia, Texas, but started out as solo musicians. For their U.S. radio debut on Morning Becomes Eclectic, Jamestown Revival, the duo plus a talented supporting cast played songs from its first EP, like the destined-to-be-a-hit "California (Cast Iron Soul)," a folk- and roots-inspired ballad about the duo's pilgrimage west.

"The album started when we moved in 2011. We wanted a change of scenery and to shock the system. We got out there, and it inspired the writing of a whole album. We didn't anticipate that. It just happened," says Chance.

After forming in late 2010, the duo were soon featured in Rolling Stone magazine for the cover of the Rolling Stone contest. "Heart on Fire", a song featuring Clay's vocals, was featured in the 2012 comedy LOL starring Miley Cyrus. Clay sang three additional songs for the film. At the age of 22, they moved to Austin and began to craft a sound of their own. Deeply rooted in harmony, they merged the sounds of the South with classic American, and Western rock. Looking for adventure, as well as a change of pace, they eventually made the decision to head west and make the move to Los Angeles. There, the duo wrote the songs that would become their full-length debut Utah, out now via INgrooves.

Jamestown Revival began a headline tour on May 11th, which includes performances at The Hangout Festival and Bonnaroo.
