East Texas outlaw honky tonk country outfit JB and the Moonshine Band were born in 2009 when singer and songwriter JB Patterson decided to give up his advertising career and start a band. In the spring of 2010, the quartet opened a show for Colt Ford, and the group's raw sound, outlaw attitude, and original material caught Ford's attention. He signed the band to his Average Joes Entertainment label, which issued JB and the Moonshine Band's debut album, Ain't Goin Back to Jail, in the fall of 2010. A sophomore effort, Beer for Breakfast, followed from the label in the spring of 2012. ~ Steve Leggett
