Georgia-based BJ Wilbanks's authentic music styling which explores love & the pursuit of enlightenment has been referred to as “Back Porch Soul”, fusing the musical roots of Americana, Motown, Funk, R&B into an intoxicating blend which is all his own.
BJ's music explores the intimate, raw, emotional feeling of the gospel, blues, and 70’s rock he was raised on as a child. He and his band have performed shows with the legendary Gladys Knight, Drivin N Cryin, and funk legends Mother’s Finest.
BJ’s gregarious personality is palpable on record, often channeling other charismatic musical personalities like Chris Stapleton, Otis Redding, Sturgill Simpson and current retro-revivalists like Leon Bridges. His self-titled album, (released 2017) captures the refined analogue production qualities of yesteryear, complete with swampy southern bass and Stax-inspired horn sections. It is reminiscent of bygone era when music was so good that it transcended genre.
“The best music brings the most unlikely people together,” BJ asserts, “you know when you feel it, it’s music from the soul.”
