Album Notes

--A Classic Debut Album

A Rock and Reggae Fusion At last! Jesse Michael Barr writes and produces his first album, entitled "The Max Power Trio". This collection of songs successfully combine two of the most soulful styles of music. Every song on this disc is a rock classic.

This album is hit. If you like Sublime or anything Jimi Hendrix, then you'll love this album performed by three young Ohio University students. The smooth music will put your mind at ease. Let the album take you back to college with its fabulous reggae grooves. Fans and fellow musicians alike will appreciate the soulful beats and yearn to learn the rhythmic guitar licks.

You won’t easily forget the feeling of wild rhythms, smooth vocals and soulful basslines coursing through your body. This band has already enjoyed a cult following around Ohio and you’re sure to join the party. This album was mixed and mastered by top engineers including Capitol Records’ own Mark Chalecki, the mastermind behind Sublime's 40 oz to Freedom.

Phil Hendrie, nationally syndicated talk-show host, compared Jesse to Eric Clapton and Jimmi Hendrix

Andy Harrison, guitar tech for Cheryl Crow says, "Jesse's music is like if Brad Nowell from Sublime was a huge Hendrix nut"

The band unveiled the album, "The Max Power Trio" with friends, O.A.R. on stage in Downtown, Columbus.

The powerful drumming (Luke Fannin) and soaring guitar solos (Jesse Michael Barr) on this album will rock you for an entire 45 minutes. The Max Power Trio is an example what powerful, soulful music should sound like.
You’ll love the sounds after the first listen and never look back. This music is great for the soul and solid from beginning to end. There are no wasted songs here on the entire album.
