Cisco Adler, G. Love & Donavon Frankenreiter Share Debut Video as Jamtown

May 4, 2017

After performing a few shows in late April, Jamtown will release their first official single tomorrow. The project brings together Cisco Adler, Donavon Frankenreiter and G. Love, who entered the studio together this past December. While the three musicians have known each other for many years now (Frankenreiter and G. Love first shared a bill at 2003 Byron Bay Blues Festival) when they arrived at Adler’s Bananabeat Studios in Malibu this past December 2016, they weren’t quite sure what would ensue.

Frankenreiter explains, “We’ve known each other for many years, but the time was never right to work together. We got in there and wrote 10 songs in 10 days. None of us knew that was going to happen. If we went in with a preconceived notion of starting a group, it might not have. I thought it would be a Record Store Day release or something. It just kept getting better and better.”

“I never thought I would tour again, let alone be in another band,” Adler adds. “I was very happy to sit here all day, look at the ocean, and produce records for amazing artists. Once we started, I felt a duty to take this music to the people. It wasn’t enough for this to just be a one-off.”

Today we premiere the official video for “Fool In Love.” G. Love, the third member of the triumvirate, notes, “Jamtown has been a truly serendipitous musical journey. The music has come through us in such a pure way, songs writing themselves as the best songs tend to do. ‘Fool in Love” is a feel good smash for summer love.’

Frankenreiter echoes G. Love: “There are moments in your life when u get together with people and magic happens, this is one of those moments. Jamtown was never planned it was a beautiful accident.”

The group will release their debut EP on June 23, via Adler’s Bananabeat Records and has announced dates over the next three months, with their upcoming tour itinerary below the video.
