Music is often just an expected output, a drummer, a bass player, a guitar or two... But for a few bands, this expected definition is not what is found. They may produce a sound which would seem not to distant from the main pack, but there production is much different. This is true of the group Jump, or Jump Little Children. With use of the accordion, stand up bass, cello; among many other instruments; it is obvious this isn't your average band.

Jump, composed of five very talented unique individuals, always can be expected to put on an interesting show. Is this because their unique sound, or because of there unique members?

That is a good question. But once you have seen them you will know that it is a combination of all of the above. Most all the members are rather low key, with the exception of Matt Bivens. He a very eccentric type is sure to entertain. It is apparent that he is becoming one with the music while on stage.
The only way to truly understand what we are stating is to see the band live. And this show was a perfect example of what to expect. While not at your normal Venue (Fathom is usually the home of Christian bands). The band made use of the Venue well. Cathedrals seemed quiet at home here, and Matt almost mocked the Venue which touted a church on Sundays with the slogan "Church that Doesn't Suck". The following are a couple of songs to help you get an idea of the excitement this band can create on stage. That may be an upright bass and accordion, but you can still rock out with them.

Also it should be noted that the singing is shared by both the main vocalist, Jay Clifford, and the eccentric Type Matt. Jay's vocals are straightforward, while Matt's are more a mixture of poetic rap... it is often hard to hear his southern roots through his accent.
And the show also reminds individuals that Jump Little Children has Irish roots too. While they are all from the South... Because of an early room mate in college, and there early tours in Ireland, they always have a hint of their Celtic Heritage.
