Tuesday Sep 30, 2025
Tuesday Sep 30, 2025
This episode is with JBL and his newly formed band the Lords of Jupiter. He joined us in studio with fellow musicians Tim Bower (guitar) and Sun Recording artist John Berotka for a casual conversation about music and family. Spanning nearly 4 decades of playing music together, we look forward to hearing to some of the new music forthcoming.
Jay has played with Black Oak Arkansas, the Peanut Butter Jam as well as Spaceseed a Hawkwind Tribute band. Ironically, JBL was also the last bass player to perform with Hawkwind with front man Lemmy Kilmeister!
We focused heavily on Jay's mission to help others through music with his organization "Something Bigger Than Yourself" which can be found at somethingbiggerthanyourself.org
A great group of guys, great conversation and amazing stories are encapsulated in vox form in this interview. Don't forget to like, follow and subscribe so you never miss a beat on the Normal Isn't Necessary podcast.
