SilentJ began in the early Spring of 2007 with two acoustic guitars on a backyard deck in Ellicott City, MD. We soon added a third guitar that quickly transformed into a bass. Months later, another meeting on the deck turned up a drummer from down the street. Days later, SilentJ was born in a basement jam session.
During the spring and summer months of 2007, SilentJ (Kevin Brady, Jeff Daro, John Mauser, Tim Newman) worked continuously to harness the raw energy that each individual brought to the table to produce a sound they could call their own. Not long after, SilentJ played for the first time in front of an audience at a Labor Day Festival that marked the end of a great summer of musical discovery and the beginning of greater things to come!
Since then, SilentJ has composed some 20+ original pieces and has carefully selected a set of cover tunes that collectively offers a musical library that distinguishes SilentJ from the rest of the Baltimore live music scene.
People ask how the band was formed, and we can only answer, organically. It just happened.
Throughout 2008, SilentJ has played a number of notable Baltimore and surrounding area establishments in both intimate acoustic venues to full stage productions in clubs such as The 8x10 Club, The Brass Monkey Saloon, The Whiskey in Annapolis, The Red House, The Fish Head Cantina, Cacao Lane, The Judges Bench, and more. We continue to grow a fantastic fan base that is enthusiastic and thirsty! We look forward to bringing that energy to your establishment.
