in conjunction with the garrison’s 4th of July Celebration.

The Jeremy Graham Band, first orga-nized in 2005, consisted of six mem-bers that includes: steel guitar, bass guitar, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, drummer and lead vocalist. Some of the members have worked together for over 14 years. Over the past 3 years, the organization has had the privilege of working with some of the most tal-ented entertainers in the country mu-sic industry. These acts include: Jason Aldean, Kellie Pickler, Lee Brice, Bud-dy Jewell, Lee Ann Womack, Darryl Worley, Jamey Johnson, Crossin Dix-in, Rhett Akins, Ty Herndon and Heidi Newfield, as well as many more! JGB just returned from a highly successful trip to Nashville. In their first appear-ance in Music City they performed a 3-hour session at the Cadillac Ranch on Broadway. Not only does the band have an impressive background as a whole, but each member has an im-pressive record of experience in his own right.

The JGB takes pride in the family-like attitude of its members, both on stage and off. The band hopes to project that same atmosphere to new found friends and fans of all ages.

The band is presented at Bamberg’s 4th Of July Celebrations by Armed Forces Entertainment.
