专辑简介

J TEMP 13 is the solo moniker of John Templeman, President and Founder of Jib Machine Records and 13 Recordings. Thanks to the influence of his parents who were in a rock band together, Templeman began his musical journey while still very young. He was performing live by age six and penning original songs by age ten. John then spent most of his teens and 20s in various bands, but he finally released NYC Acoustic Demos/Restoration, a collection of solo songs he recorded with producer Bryan Smith, in 2004. However, the first J TEMP 13 album did not appear until 2008’s Girard, named after Templeman’s hometown.

Over the next few years, he would go on to self-produce and engineer three more J TEMP 13 albums, an experimental electronica album under the name The Penfield Experience and multiple tracks for various independent movies and short films in his home studio. Then, at the start of 2014, JT began recording what would become his Self-titled EP at the Track Six Productions studios with long-time friend and HH&C collaborator Brandon Youngs. The result is an album that has been described as having a 70s rock vibe with a fresh twist drawing on influences from Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Neil Young. Templeman plans on spending the better part of 2016 supporting the new EP in addition to promoting and marketing the newly branded and designed Jib Machine Records’ website.
