You could say “Gone Country” was formed in December of 2022, and technically, you’d be right. However, if you want to learn the true origin story of this Richmond, VA based, “Neotraditional Country” band, you’ll have to go back in time to the early-2000’s. 
Now, you may not be aware of this, but that’s when the Mainstream tried to kill Country Music. You see, they thought no one would notice if they started replacing steel guitars and fiddles with snap beats and auto tuned vocals... But they were wrong. It just so happened that two boys from Virginia took notice, and vowed they would fight against mainstream Nashville to honor their hero’s who were kicked out of Country Music.
They didn’t know it at the time, but nearly two decades later, their paths would cross. Who were they, you ask? None other than the founders of “Gone Country”, Trace Nixon and John Holden. So, call it fate... call it destiny, if you will - But make no mistake, this has been a “band in the making” for nearly 20 years. And now, they’re goin’ to kick out the footlights.

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.
