The House Jumpers deliver American roots music often referred to as “the blues.” The band’s albums, Sure Footed Baby, Foolin’ Around, and our latest, Living Every Minute, offer songs in jump, Chicago blues, Bo Diddley, early rock & roll, ballad, American roots, gospel and New Orleans genres. In our song, Protect the Root, we say, “Willie Dixon said it best, when he said this line: “If you like the fruit, you must protect the root.” We do our best on our recordings and at our live performances to honor the history of all these incredible styles.

Our influences include material originally recorded from about 1948 to 1960 by artists such as BB King, the Liggins Brothers, Camille Howard, T-Bone Walker, and Jimmy Reed, to name just a few.  The House Jumpers cover those great artists and contribute original songs to this wonderful body of American music.

Although we have not performed since the outbreak of the pandemic, we hope to return to live gigs in the future. Until then, watch for our postings on this site and on Facebook. We hope to see you at a live gig soon!
