Jernigan, who takes on the colossal role of Robert Plant, has a commanding stage presence that rivals the icon himself.

His story read like something straight out of a movie script; Rainero reached out directly to the band through social media to request an audition. While dozens of musicians had already contacted the band with no success, Rainero’s determination set him apart.

Refusing to take no for an answer, he began uploading videos of himself playing classic songs from the band in his bedroom. It didn’t take long for the band to recognize his extraordinary talent. His playing was not just skilled, it was a truly inspired performance, with the technical mastery and soul that made it clear he was something special.

After performing sold out shows across multiple different states, JUMP has positioned themselves as one of the top up and coming Van Halen tributes in the nation. Delivering two hours of classic David Lee Roth era Van Halen, the bands lineup is composed of a group of youngsters all born in the mid-late 90's and early 2000's.

While their age offers a visual aesthetic true to Van Halen in their prime, their sound also reflects the same shredding Eddie guitar solos, rock solid rhythm section, and the whaling two-tone screams reminiscent of David Lee Roth's voice. Featuring a variety of hits and deep cuts off of the first 6 albums, JUMP's live show includes a selection of skits and one liners portrayed by Van Halen from bootlegs of their live shows between 1978-1984.

Experience an embodiment of the David Lee Roth era of Van Halen and immerse yourself in YOUTH, NOSTALGIA AND ROCK 'N ROLL.

Broken Arrow performs the music of Neil Young, featuring both the rockin' electric Crazy Horse tunes and the more acoustic, pedal steel driven country rock material. The band delivers these classic songs faithfully while taking them out on some jamming excursions and tastefully tweaking some of the arrangements. Joe Mass nails the Neil vocals perfectly and the harmonies are spot on. They have audiences on their feet singing along and demanding encores at every show.

From A Boy Named Sue to Ring of Fire, the Johnny Folsom 4 pays tribute to the legendary Man in Black.
Lead singer David Burney brings a lilting southern baritone to Cash's classic songs which hits the mark well enough that you will wonder if Johnny, himself, is in the building. John Fussell more than meets the challenge of filling in for Luther and Carl Perkins on those classic guitar licks. And Steve Eisenstadt (bass) and Randy Benefield (drums) provide the hallmark, train-like driving rhythm the whole world loves.True to the Mr Cash's poetic spirit, JF4 promises an honest and entertaining performance for fans of all ages.
Here's what people are saying:

"David not only sounds like the great Johnny Cash, he has the stance, the movement, the style of playing the guitar high on the neck, and the big presence and attitude. He channels JR! ~ Jackie Cash (Johnny Cash's niece)
When it comes to honoring Johnny Cash, JF4 walks the line.

Drawing their name from Def Leppard’s fifth studio album (which debuted at No. 1 on both the UK Albums Chart and the U.S. Billboard 200), ADRENALIZE – The Ultimate Def Leppard Experience recreates the chart-topping, chest-thumping anthems that made Def Leppard the iconic and dominant force in arena rock of the ‘80s and beyond.

You'll hear the hook-laden radio and MTV mega-hits like "Foolin'", "Rock of Ages," “Photograph,” “Hysteria,” "Rocket," "Animal," “Armageddon It,” "Love Bites," and "Pour Some Sugar On Me," along with deep cuts like "Wasted," "High 'n' Dry," and "Switch 625!"

Def Leppard, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019, is one of the world’s best-selling music artists, having sold more than 100 million records worldwide. They also hold the honor of being the top UK hard rock touring act, grossing $514 million worth of tickets since July 1980. This places them as the highest UK rock band earner in the last 42 years ahead of Iron Maiden.

No rock band epitomized the spirit of the ‘80s more than Def Leppard. Fusing the hard edge of heavy metal to a melodic pop sensibility, the British rockers dominated that decade with two classic albums- 1983’s Pyromania and 1987’s Hysteria- whose massive sales were fueled by the band’s near-constant presence on MTV.

See the road tested and accomplished stage performers of ADRENALIZE – The Ultimate Def Leppard Experience embody the swaggering, electrifying stage personae of the Lads from Sheffield, and their undeniable intensity will captivate you and leave you singing, fist pumping, and screaming for more!
