The true story
When people compare a band to Queen and early Elton John, the listener is usually skeptical as to who in the current day could pull off such a daunting task. The answer is JETLINER. Armed with a 5-foot baby grand piano that they haul from gig to gig--as well as a melodic sense not usually associated with a rock band--they are the real deal. And the buzz is spreading.
For lead singer, Adam Paskowitz, it''s a no-brainer. "My mom was an opera singer and people had always told me, ''get back on the piano, no one in rock can do that but you''," he says with confidence. The truth is no one in today''s modern rock can do what JETLINER does: a blend of new rock with classic 70''s vocal harmonies and piano. "It sounds crazy for today, but it all fits," says Adam.
Paskowitz leads JETLINER and his background shows through their songs. From a famous surfing family, this child surf-star-turned singer/songwriter has already signed two major record deals, spawned a top five single, toured the world, opened for The Rolling Stones, played on MTV and sold over 700,000 albums.
"I had just finished playing two weeks of back-to-back alt rock radio festivals with a few more to go, and when I got to my hotel there was this huge piano in the lobby. It had been like two years since I had played one, but a 9 foot Steinway is a little hard to resist. I sat down to play it and six hours later--at 3:00 in the morning--I was on the phone with four new song ideas," says Adam. The first call he made was to his long-time friend The Duke--a Southern California native who played piano with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the tender age of 12. "So I quit everything I was doing and went at it like a mad dog", Paskowitz continues, "looking for a smaller piano, building a studio, and getting my friend Jeff Kluesner to come out of hiding to play guitar for us." Jeff--the imposing cue ball headed guitarist of the band--brings talent and intensity to the fold that is almost tangible.
The trio kept writing, and after adding the powerhouse rhythm section of drummer Rob Jones and bassist Michael Kujawa to the line-up, this JETLINER was off the ground. JETLINER is a five-piece outfit that welds power-pop and melodic 70''s rock with a piano legacy that few can lay claim to--especially in these times of short-lived alt rock.
JETLINER is currently touring in support of their recently released self-titled debut.
