The Jompson Brothers were born in a garage in Nashville, TN as a result of late-night jam sessions between GRAMMY Award-winning singer/songwriter Chris Stapleton (vocals, guitar) and Greg McKee (guitar). Bard McNamee (drums) and J.T. Cure (bass) were soon added to the equation, more jamming ensued, and the band was complete.

Their self-titled debut (produced by Frank Rogers) was released in the Fall of 2010 and has drawn comparisons to Led Zeppelin, Gov't Mule, and Drive-By Truckers. The band played shows all around the Southeastern United States until 2013 when Chris Stapleton embarked on a solo career.
