Over 20 years of great southern gospel music experience!
New
Orleans legacy is that of a world class musical hotbed,
full of diverse styles and offerings. The
New Orleans gospel music scene is no exception
to the rule, which is evident with JC & Company.
In 1994, Jerome Clark and
Kelroy Price brought this family oriented group
of 8 neighborhood friends together to form the
group JC & Company. Each of the members are
not only talented songwriters
and musicians, they were raised as gospel music
performers and have worked with various other southern
gospel groups before coming together as
J C & Company. Some of the better known local
artists they have worked with are
The
Mighty Chariots, The Randolph Brothers and, the well known
Price
Brothers.
Collectively,
this group started out with over 20 years of great
southern gospel music experience under their collective
belts.
J C & Company is rooted in the more
traditional gospel stylings that have become a
trademark for so many gospel groups such as the
Southern Travelers and the
Great
Mahalia Jackson. Their soulful gospel style reaches
back in time and reminds you of when gospel was
gospel, and you didn't have to wonder about it. For
many years, J C & Company was lead by Jerome
Clark, When on stage together, they perform like
fine-tuned instruments, as they weave their testimony
into their heart-felt and utterly powerful performances.
They leave nothing to the imagination. It is one
hundred percent gospel music all the time.
The
group made their maiden voyage into the European
market in the latter part of 1998 and they were
an instant success; today, J C & Company
continues to wow audiences all over the world.
J.C. and Company is a significant part of the New
Orleans gospel culture as they perform concerts
all over the region. They are regular performers
in the gospel tent at the famed
New
Orleans Jazz and Heritage
Festival. They have shared the stage with
some of the most noted names in the gospel business,
such as,
The Gospel Keynotes,
The Jackson Southernaires, and The Christianaires,
just to name a few.
J C & Company released their first CD,
Stand
Up during the summer of 1997 on the
Rampart Street Music Label; their 2nd CD,
If
You Confess was released in 2002.
The post-Katrina members of JC & Company are
Kelroy Price, Luke and Andre Randolph and
Melvin Russell, Jr. and they are currently in the
studio working on material for their third Rampart
Street Music release. Stay tuned because
there is more to come from New Orleans’ own,
J C & Company.
