The JD3 Band is based out Hampton, Virginia. The group got its start after jamming together for the first time at a New Years Eve party in 2020. The chemistry of the band was instantly apparent and songs were flowing out one after the other. With the organic, improvisational nature of the trio, it was obvious right from the start that this was to be an original band to be reckoned with. Just over a year later, JD3 released their first single, "Hard Drivin Woman", on January 7th, 2022.

Centered around frontman James Dowdy's (JD) unique blues and rock influences on guitar, the band has hints of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, John Mayer and many more that come through in the music. Live performances are geared toward improvising and letting the room take the music to new levels. With our newest member Tom Bess on bass and Cole Morgan behind the drum kit, JD3 brings a new sound into a familiar genre.

JD3 released their first EP on July 30th, 2020.
