Jimmy Lee Jordan Band

A Story of Passion, Perseverance, and Pure Entertainment

Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, and then adopted and raised in Canton, N.C., Jimmy Lee Jordan’s journey to the stage is one of grit, passion, and relentless pursuit of his musical dreams. From an early age, music became his lifeline, and though his parents encouraged him to play the banjo, Jimmy found his true calling in the guitar and vocals, honing his craft in the most unlikely of places—a feed barn, serenading his flock of woolly fans.

From Clogging Champion to Country Rock Powerhouse

By age seven, Jimmy discovered a love for clogging, inspired by his parents’ performances. His talent led him to The Carolina Cloggers, where he won multiple competitions, performed at prestigious festivals, and even showcased his skills for the President of the United States. But while dance was his first taste of the stage, music was always his destiny.

After high school, Jimmy took a brief detour into college before following a greater calling—serving his country.  At just 20, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, was first stationed at Vance AFB in Enid, Oklahoma.  The State of Oklahoma is where he would ultimately plant his roots touring at all three bases during his career.

Serving His Country, Rocking the Stage

Throughout the ‘90s, Jimmy balanced military service and music, performing for the troops and opening for industry icons like Trick Pony, John Popper & Blues Traveler, and Tops in Blue. His raw talent and electrifying stage presence landed him on an Emmy Award-winning television special alongside Nick Lachey, Jessica Simpson, Willie Nelson, Brian McKnight, Big & Rich, and Jimmy Kimmel.

When asked about his music, Jimmy says:
"I put my heart, soul, and passion into every performance—whether it’s my own song or a cover, I strive to connect with every single listener."

The Birth of The Jimmy Lee Jordan Band

After 20+ years of dedicated military service, Jimmy retired and dove headfirst into the music world, fronting multiple regional bands. But something was missing. He wanted more.

"That X factor. I feel like I’m always evolving as an artist—who I am now isn’t yet who I’m meant to be."

That evolution led to the creation of The Jimmy Lee Jordan Band (JLJB)—a high-octane fusion of Rockin' Honkytonk Outlaw Country, Red Dirt, and Southern Rock, built on a foundation of charismatic stage presence, powerhouse vocals and musicianship, and an electrifying show that leaves audiences wanting more.

With a growing fanbase, an explosive live show, and a reputation for delivering unforgettable performances, The Jimmy Lee Jordan Band is a must-book act for venues, casinos,  rodeos, weddings, dances, corporate events, fairs, festivals, and any events looking for a killer band that can bring the house down—every single time.

KEEPING THE BEAT

BJ “Stix” Collins Affectionately known across stages, venues, and backroads as “Stix”, this Shawnee-born powerhouse is the rhythmic engine that drives the Jimmy Lee Jordan Band straight into the hearts (and eardrums) of every crowd we hit. He joined the JLJB family about a year ago—right when we needed a drummer who could not only keep up with our schedule, but match the fire of our shows. 

What we got was more than a drummer… we got a performer. A showman. A stick-flippin’, beat-slingin’, crowd-thrillin’ machine. From the moment “Stix” sits behind the kit, you know something special is coming. He doesn’t just keep time—he owns it. He doesn’t just play—he commands the room.  And those sticks? They fly, spin, flip, dance, and somehow still land exactly where they need to. Watching him in action is like watching a juggler, a magician, and a freight train all rolled into one. 

Whether we’re lighting up a lakeside night, shaking a festival stage, or turning a small-town venue into a full-blown party, “Stix” brings... precision that locks in tight fills that punch straight through your chest energy that pulls the crowd right into the show, and that signature stick-twirling flair fans now wait for every night. Since joining JLJB, BJ “Stix” Collins has become more than our drummer—he’s the heartbeat of the band. He gives our sound its backbone, our shows their fire, and our fans a reason to shout, cheer, and lean in for the next flip of those sticks. When the lights hit the stage and you see those sticks spinning in the air… you’re witnessing BJ “Stix” Collins— the pulse of the JLJB, master of the kit, and the reason our beat never stops.

GRIT, TONE, AND NO APOLOGIES

Grant Haze doesn't just play guitar — he makes it growl. Bringing a gritty, unapologetic edge to the Jimmy Lee Jordan Band, Haze is the kind of musician who sounds like he's lived every note before he ever played it. His style lives somewhere between backroad bars and packed-out stages — raw, real, and turned up loud enough to feel it in your chest.

With hard-earned life experience fueling every lick, Grant delivers soulful leads and a rock-driven tone that cuts straight through the noise. He's not up there chasing perfection or trying to impress anyone with flash. He's playing what's real. And that's exactly what makes it hit different.

Equal parts outlaw and storyteller, Grant brings a sound that's soaked in grit and dripping with soul. Whether he's laying down a scorching lead break or locking into a heavy rhythm groove, he adds a raw, unpolished fire to the JLJB sound that the band has been craving. The kind of player who makes you lean in, turn it up, and forget about everything outside those four walls.

Grant Haze didn't join the Jimmy Lee Jordan Band to blend in — he showed up to turn it up. And trust us… you're going to feel it.
