-- The J.O.B awarded "BEST ROCK BAND" in the 2024 Richmond International Film & Music Festival --

The J.O.B. from Richmond, Virginia is a band on a mission to touch the lives of everyday people with their music. Founders, Jim O’Ferrell (singer-guitarist) and Jason Crawford (lead guitarist), officially started the group in 2008 to record and perform songs that O’Ferrell had composed during his recent deployments to the war in Iraq. Jim had a trove of experiences just waiting to be turned into songs, so The J.O.B. recorded their first full length record, Back to the World, an album of songs about a soldier's life at war. From there, the band's songwriting took off in a whirlwind of directions with music and lyrics reflecting the world they experienced around them, developing The J.O.B. into the dynamic alternative rock band they are today.

The J.O.B. are storytellers, taking authentic human experiences and reflecting them like a mirror onto their audience. Their music is a true companion that makes people’s emotions relevant and meaningful. Every face in the crowd is an individual opportunity to form a bond.

The J.O.B.’s music credits include 6 studio albums, 3 nationally charted songs, and scores of live performances ranging from saloons to festivals. The J.O.B. has performed concerts with Davy Knowles, Coco Montoya, and other international touring artists.

Always looking for exciting new creative projects, The J.O.B. composed, arranged, and performed all of the music for the 2023 world premier musical SOUND OF THE GUNS which was the featured production for the 2023 summer season at Firehouse Theatre in Richmond, Virginia.

The J.O.B.'s music is in rotation on commercial, independent, and internet radio stations all over the United States and across the globe.

Band members are: 
Ronnie Thomas, drums 
Craig Babich, bass 
Jason Crawford, lead guitar 
Jim O'Ferrell, singer & rhythm guitar
