After 15 years of bending strings for several bands, JT Hubbard has finally decided to do the damn thing and form his own band. JT Hubbard is joining forces with Steve Carney (Bassist) and Andrew Holland (Drummer) to combine over 30 years experience forming JT and the Damn Thing. Based out of Fort Smith, Arkansas dancing on the border of Oklahoma, they are bringing their unique sound across the tri-state area. Creating a renegade sound of their own, The Damn Thing won’t fit into just one of your genres. They are pushing the borders of country, rock, blues, Americana, and red dirt. With a punchy rock and roll and southern twang sounds of an electric guitar rift combined with Nashville experienced writing. Influenced by bands ranging from: Waylon Jennings and Randy Crouch, Steve Ray Vaughn and Gary Clark Jr, John Prine and Bob Dylan, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Reckless Kelly and Whiskey Myers, Dierks Bentley and Keith Urban, Randy and Wade, Cleto, Parker, Baumann, Koe, and Pardi - JT and The Damn Thing aren’t sacrificing guitar or rowdiness for emotional and clever lyrical melodies. Though newly formed they do not lack experience - playing stages of Cain’s Ballroom, The Vanguard, Cheatham Street Warehouse, Steamboat Music Festival, in addition to exposure in Nashville songwriting and studio scene. Looking ahead, JT and the Damn Thing are eagerly anticipating the recording of their debut album and booking performances for 2024.
