BIO:
Seattleâs Jaws of Brooklyn emerged during the 2020 pandemic, blending 60's garage rock and soul with modern songwriting.
Their debut album, âThe Shoalsâ, produced by Alabama Shakesâ keyboardist and 2024 Grammy award-winning producer Ben Tanner was recorded in Florence, Alabama, and released in 2022.
The album earned them critical acclaim with Billboard calling them âimpressiveâ and American Songwriter stating, âThe Jaws of Brooklyn are set to chart a new course.â The Jaws of Brooklyn, now a seven-piece live act, set about winning the hearts and minds of the Pacific Northwest and beyond with their punchy vocal harmonies and high-energy performances including SXSW and Seattleâs Capitol Hill Block Party.
After performing at 2023âs Capitol Hill Block Party the band parted ways with their lead vocalist. In 2024, Jaws of Brooklyn saw a pivotal change with the addition of powerhouse vocalist Gretchen Lemon, revitalizing the lineup of Dana Dysart (keys), Bryan Cohen (guitar), Paul Christofferson (bass), and Zia Uddin (drums). With renewed energy, they returned to Florence, Alabama, where they recorded 15 new songs. The recording features a return of background all-star vocalists, Shannay Johnson (Alabama Shakes, Brittany Howard, Roger Waters) and Karita Law (Alabama Shakes, Brittany Howard) to round out the sound and expand their sonic exploration.
Full of retro guitars, soul-inspired rhythms, anthemic choruses, and 60âs girl group vocals, the Jaws of Brooklyn continue to push their music into new spaces. Standout cuts include 60âs psychedelic rockers âLightbringerâ, âLie to Meâ, and âGravitateâ. Retro-inspired girl group musings, âUp All Nightâ and âCrush on Youâ, sit alongside the soul-influenced âComing Homeâ, âUnstoppableâ and âI Keep Changingâ. In addition to the retro rhythm pocket of many of the tracks, the Jaws also cut a disco-influenced track called âWhere Are Youâ and a synthy track called âPerfect Way to Startâ as a fan-only bonus track.
The Jaws of Brooklyn are set to begin releasing new singles starting September of 2024 with a first EP containing half of the new songs slated for April 2025 release. In the meantime, the band is back to its full seven-piece performing unit with shows all over the Pacific Northwest and a return to SXSW planned for 2025.
