About the jtb

Music is more than just notes and rhythms. Music is equally about the people behind the microphones and instruments. It’s about the life stories that come deep within the souls of an artist. Music is more than just notes and rhythms. Music is equally about the people behind the microphones and instruments. It’s about the life stories that come deep within the souls of an artist; stories that are poured into the music.

And boy, do the guys from the jtb have some stories to tell.

Based in Tulsa, Okla., the jtb features guitar /lead vocals Jamey Tiffee, Jake Lebar on drums and bass player/vocalist Travis Shields. As intriguing as their lives have been, don’t be mistaken. These guys can put on a great show too. jtb’s straight-ahead sound is infused with hooky melodies and some serious pop sensibilities. It’s a sound that’s taken years to develop and a host of mainstream experiences to perfect.


"We have all lived the sex, drug and rock-n-roll lifestyle to tilt status, so none of us are remotely interested in playing rock star. We each have gifts from God that leave us obligated to live out our created purpose as musicians. We have lived a life as the world and as servants of Jesus Christ and serving Jesus Christ is the only way."
