John Brown's Body (band)
Together for two decades and hailed as" Future roots, reggae and dub with an intricately balanced weaving of vocals, percussion, keyboard, bass, guitar and a stunning 3- piece horn section that ties it all together"( WRUV), John Brown ’s Body( JBB) is building" a legacy that has inspired and carved a path for the now thriving contemporary American reggae scene"( Rudeboy Reggae).
Formed in Ithaca, New York, in the mid 1990s, at a time when there was n’t yet a far- reaching U.S. reggae scene, JBB was one of a small handful of U.S. reggae bands that began touring nationally.
Since then, JBB has played an important role in helping define distinctly" American reggae."
JBB ’s music is steeped in traditional vibes, but unapologetically incorporates elements from other genres.
While most American reggae bands tackled typical reggae themes( such as religion and marijuana), JBB acted more like an indie band, writing songs that used the vocabulary of reggae to express their own experiences.
Their unique approach resonated with the masses.
The group ’s 2008 full- length record," Amplify", hit# 1 on the Billboard Reggae Chart followed by 2012 ’s" JBB In Dub" reaching# 1 on iTunes ’
Reggae Chart and topping both Billboard and iTunes Reggae Charts at# 1 with 2013's" Kings And Queens" and 2016's" Fireflies".
Today, JBB ’s signature style has become the norm for U.S. reggae bands- and many in the genre admittedly point to John Brown ’s Body as a key influence.
Their eleventh studio release," Fireflies", was released September 9th 2016 on Easy Star Records and debuted at# 1 on the Billboard and iTunes Reggae charts.

The John Brown Museum, also known as the John Brown Museum State Historic Site and John Brown Cabin, is located in Osawatomie, Kansas.
The site is operated by the Kansas Historical Society, and includes the log cabin of Reverend Samuel Adair and his wife, Florella, who was the half- sister of the abolitionist John Brown.

John Brown's Body
" John Brown's Body"( originally known as" John Brown's Song") is a United States marching song about the abolitionist John Brown.
The song was popular in the Union during the American Civil War.
The tune arose out of the folk hymn tradition of the American camp meeting movement of the late 18th and early 19th century.
According to an 1890 account, the original John Brown lyrics were a collective effort by a group of Union soldiers who were referring both to the famous John Brown and also, humorously, to a Sergeant John Brown of their own battalion.
Various other authors have published additional verses or claimed credit for originating the John Brown lyrics and tune.
The" flavor of coarseness, possibly of irreverence" led many of the era to feel uncomfortable with the earliest" John Brown" lyrics.
This in turn led to the creation of many variant versions of the text that aspired to a higher literary quality.
The most famous of these is Julia Ward Howe's" The Battle Hymn of the Republic", which was written when a friend suggested," Why do you not write some good words for that stirring tune?"
Numerous informal versions and adaptations of the lyrics and music have been created from the mid-1800s down to the present, making" John Brown's Body" an example of a living folk music tradition.
