About / Biography

J#Major (pronounced 'jay-sharp-major') is a six-piece rock band from Windsor, Ontario, built around one simple idea: play the songs people love — especially the ones they did not expect to hear.

Since 2016, J#Major has performed across Southwestern Ontario with a repertoire that moves comfortably through classic rock, pop and crowd favourites from artists including Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, Foo Fighters, Pink Floyd, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, U2, The Tragically Hip and many more.

What separates the band from a standard cover act is the arrangement: layered vocals, keyboards, multiple guitars, extended medleys and mashups, and a willingness to reach deeper into familiar catalogues. The reaction we love hearing most is still: 'Wow — I can't believe you played that song.'
