JOHN LYONS Features Editor
The five members of Jump Little
Children started playing music on the
streets of Charleston about two or three
years ago.
At the end of last month, the same
five members, still under the name
Jump Little Children, sold out an
acoustic show at Dock Street Theater
where tickets were sold for $19 each.
In this short period of time, Evan
and Matt Bivins, Jay Clifford, Jonathon
Gray and Ward Williams have taken
their music out of the streets and into
the Southern circuit rock scene.
Their distinctive acoustic music
has earned them an extremely loyal
following, airplay on regional alternative
rock stations and critical acclaim.
And Friday night Jump Little
Children will bring it's incredibly
energetic live show to Rockafella's.

The band's music is a folk-rock-hip
hop-country-funk-jazz hybrid that is
highlighted by a backdrop of traditional
Celtic music.
The combination of these disparate
music genres separates the band from
many others on the Southern circuit.
And their unusual instrumentation
helps them stand out even more.
The infectious, off-beat music
incorporates accordion, cello, harmonica,
mandolin, melodica, standing bass and
whistles into the mix.
The result is catchy, off-kilter pop
music that is definitely worth the price
of admission, especially with the band's
highly entertaining live show.
The incredible amount of energy
they bring into their live set may be
the most exciting single thing about
the band.

play long sets of about two hours and
keep the crowd moving the entire time.
"I think one of the main things is
that we really have a good time doing
what we're doing," Gray said "If you're
up there having a really good time, it's
going to rub off onto the audience."
The bandhas been touring for
almost a year and a half in support of
their full-length album, "The Licorice
Tea-Demos," and they will be releasing
a new six-song album Saturday.
The release party is scheduled at
the Music Farm in Charleston. The
new album features six live tracks
recorded at shows in Athens, Charleston
and Winstom-Salem, North Carolina.
It will feature five new tracks and
one from "The Licorice Tea Demos."
Gray said the band has been writing
new material since recording the first
album, and they have amassed a set
list of about 50 original songs.

Jump Little Children are from WinstonSalem
and have been playing together
for several years, though not under
the moniker of Jump Little Children.
Gray, who is from Charleston,
played in Big Stoner Creek before
joining the band two and one-half years
ago. He said he's enjoyed playing with
the members of Jump Little Children
more than his previous experience in
bands.
"It's just the right thing," he said.
"It's that magical combination that
you're always looking for. You can't
even describe it.
> "It's just meant to be," he said. "It's
a pretty nice thing to find in life."
It's that chemistry that has been
the foundation of Jump Little Children's
popularity, and that popularity in turn
has brought with it attention from
record labels that are still wondering
if there is going to be a "next big thing"
from South Carolina.
