HAD A NEW BAND CALLED "THE JERRY WOOD BAND" IN WICHITA, KANSAS.
IT JAMMED BIG TIME AND TOURED THE MIDWEST UNTIL JERRY LEFT  RIGHT BEFORE A PERFORMANCE .
  WITH NO FRONT MAN, THE REMAINING 3 MEMBERS DECIDED TO HAVE A GO OF IT THEMSELVES AS "JOINT CHECKING ACCOUNT"(JCA). 
AFTER A YEAR, THE BAND EXPANDED TO 4 PIECES and PERFORMED FOR 2 YEARS UNTIL THE BASSIST LEFT FOR ANOTHER BAND.  WITH A 2 YEAR HIATUS UNDER THEIR BELTS, JCA REFORMED WITH THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS &  STARTED ONE MORE TIME.  6 MONTHS LATER, A GUITARIST FROM "THE LONDON BRIDGE" WAS ADDED WITH A HARP PLAYER TO BOOT. 
JCA PLAYED WITH THIS CONFIGURATION FOR 2 YEARS . THEN LOST BOTH THE NEW MEMBERS. 
NOW, Today,  WITH A NEW DRUMMER, A KEYBOARDIST, JCA IS HITTING THE VENUES WITH HOT ROCK, BLUES & COUNTRY ROCK WITH A VENGENCE. 
COLLECTIVELY, THE BAND'S EXPERIENCE IS OVER 100 YEARS PERFORMING, THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED A PLETHORA OF ORIGINAL MATERIAL & SUPPLEMENTED IT WITH COVERS FROM THE '30s TO THE '90s.  BY CONTINUALLY ADDING TO THEIR REPETOIRE, THE LIVE SHOWS HAVE GENERATED EXCITEMENT &  PLEASURE FOR BOTH THE PATRONS &  THOSE WHO HAVE BOOKED THE BAND.

The members of JCA have individually performed in numerous other musical ensembles.
The styles vary and the influences show in their performances.
From metal to big band and from lounge lizard  to orchestral rock, as well as music theater and jazz.  This formation of musicians provides a unique musical style that is easily accessible to most every  listening audience.
