Album Notes

Methuselah Jones began with a bang. The first song they ever wrote, It's Over, won 6th place in the pop category of the International John Lennon Songwriting Contest.

From that point they have never looked back, with two appearances at New York's prestigious CMJ festival and performances at top New York venues including Mercury Lounge, Shine and Saci NYC for Entertainment Weekly magazine. In addition to developing a devoted, ever-expanding following, they have been profiled and reviewed in national and on-line publications.

Methuselah Jones has received radio play and on-air appearances, most notably on WLIR, Long Island's Best Music.

Led by the emotionally charged vocals of Jamie Obstbaum, who COSMOgirl.com credits as having an "amazing bluesy voice that will make you completely forget about Fiona Apple!", Methuselah Jones has a vibrant approach to pop music, enhancing the traditional pop band instrumentation by prominently featuring the 7-string bass, violin and mandolin in their line-up. The songs are melodically rich and lyrically ripe evoking a strong feeling of familiarity with a sound that you've never heard before.

Methuselah Jones draws in devotees with their outstanding songwriting and magnetic live shows. Big things are on the horizon for Methuselah Jones in the not too distant future.

Methuselah Jones are: Jamie Obstbaum, vocals; Antoine Silverman, violin/mandolin; Dan Ehrenhaft, guitar; Dan Cooper, bass guitar; Tobias Gebb, drums.
