JuxTApose is a four piece blues-rock band hailing from various places in Michigan. Making Grand Rapids their home in 2008, they’ve been vigorously carving out their niche in musical style ever since. With various covers from Kings of Leon to Jimi Hendrix, Michael Jackson and even Muse being reflective of their original material, it’s no surprise their ability to live up to their name of juxTApose. All of the band being natural born story tellers, the subject matter of their music is as interesting as the music itself, and with songs like Drone that span the planes of time signatures, keys, and musical styles, to the catchy horn pop/blues riffs found in T-Dog World of Trouble, the band has no limits in adaptability and skill. With each member constantly growing as individuals and within the band, juxTApose is a force to be reckoned with. 

Playing all over Grand Rapids in places like The Intersection, Rocket Lounge, The B.O.B., and many others, juxTApose is experienced in live sound production. In 2012, they were featured in Abby Young’s bio pic, juxATpose: A Documentary, giving them their first taste of cinematography as a band. In addition to that, with an “everything in house” mentality and diversely skilled set of band members, juxTApose has gone on to produce a professionally recorded EP (World of Trouble), logo designs, graphics, press kits, and flyers all entirely within the band.
