About JD Simo
JD Simo... The Chicago-born Nashvillian is like a one-man crusade dedicated to keeping music real, raw, and honest. No matter the setting and no matter his role (whether it’s wingman or bandleader)
J.D.’s presence infuses the situation of the moment with the music that’s been fueling him pretty much his whole life, spiced with influences that straddle both decades and dimensions.
As a songwriter, guitarist, and producer he has worked with the likes of Jack White, Tommy Emmanuel, Luther Dickinson, Dave Cobb, Blackberry Smoke, and even been a member of Grateful Dead founder Phil Lesh' "Phil & Friends".
During lockdown in '20, he started cutting tracks in his makeshift studio on a weekly basis. Joined by longtime collaborator Adam Abrashoff on drums and the addition of longtime friend, bassist-producer-engineer Adam Bednarik (Justin Townes Earle), they fused a proverbial soup of shared influences.
Hill country trance blues of Junior Kimbrough, RL Burnside and Fred McDowell. Hypnotic Afro Beat rhythms of Fela Kuti and Tony Allen. Psychedelic mind warps of Captain Beefheart, Funkadelic, and Jimi Hendrix. The old school blues of John Lee Hooker, Earl Hooker and Lightnin Hopkins. As well as the raw fuzzy indie rock of The Stooges and Nirvana.
Mind Control is the product of 3 like minded buddies huddled in a humble setting, making music to make them feel good with no pretense. The songs stark revealing nature, is the product of them using the creative process for therapy and enjoyment in a messed up time. A positive theme of growth, self help and struggles with addiction and mental health lay along side a haunting, low down moody musical landscape. It's raw, funky and real. Such is life.

Great performance and personable evening. Like we were all hanging out in his basement. Few funny stories and some that remind you he was a youngin' when he started.

I had never seen or heard of him before, but Simo's blues infused rock was enough for a full standing ovation.
