Jackyl

Few rockers are as multi-talented as Jesse James Dupree. Without question, he is a jack of all trades - the singer who has fronted Jackyl for decades is also a part of the popular reality television show ‘Full Throttle Saloon,’ and has founded his own brand of alcohol, Jesse James Bourbon. As a result, Jesse is never at a loss for a good/colorful story - which makes him the perfect candidate for television talk show appearances. But first, some background info… Jesse James Bourbon, 100,000 plus cases have been sold in just a little over three years sales (the normal bench mark is 100,000 in five years), available in honey, space, and regular Kentucky bourbon flavors. The ‘Full Throttle Saloon’ TV show has run strong for six seasons and is always in the top-3 of all cable channels. Despite the bar burning down, Jesse and company are retooling a new show for a new network. And of course, there is Jackyl - southern rockers who scored a massive MTV hit with “The Lumberjack,” have scored gold and platinum albums, and will be unleashing their eighth studio album overall, ‘ROWYCO,’ on August 5th via Mighty Loud Records (and prefaced by the single, “Rally”). Jesse is also lined up to appear at the NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) speaking convention, where he will give a lecture on branding to all major radio company owners, and the GMS Research Platform, which was created for the first ever real time research available for radio and TV (that has been trademarked for custom vertical and horizontal aggregation of dada, and consolidates a la carte serves for radio and puts the program directed and sales department hands together). Also upcoming is the Throttle Fest - a tour package that Jesse created, which is a four-day traveling music festival - partnered with the House of Blues and Live Nation in South Carolina, with dates lined up include the NASCAR track in Kansas City and Toyota Park in Chicago (Jesse manages to take a piece of Sturgis to each town with a full throttle brand!). And the aforementioned Mighty Loud Records has been the home label to Jackyl since 2010, and has also issued albums by varied artists (everyone from Powerman 5000 to Eve to Adam and Tanya Tucker), while Jesse also oversees and serves as general manager to Kiefer Sutherland’s record label, Ironworks.
