J. D. Nash started a love for music at a very young age. Listening to country music on the family radio in the morning, and hearing his older sibling's rock and roll records in the afternoon. The love only grew stronger over time and soon consumed him.
Starting out in a rock band called "Cheyenne" in the late 70's he fronted the band providing the vocals for some very talented musicians. Playing mostly friend's parties and whatever local biker bars they could sneak into.
In 1999, J.D. moved to Topeka, Kansas due to the failing health of his father. He got a job as a maintenance mechanic, then again, as a club D.J. Many nights he spent in the bars and taverns of the area singing Karaoke or sitting in with local bands for a song or two. Anywhere a local band was playing, be it Backlash, The Desperado Band, Aces High, Blue Chip & Co., Shawn Ward or several others, J.D. usually got to belt one out with the band.
During a karaoke contest at a North Topeka bar, a gentleman by the name of Lee Wilkinson, himself an accomplished singer and musician, heard J.D. sing and offered him a shot at cutting a record. Some short weeks later, using the living room of his mobile home as a studio, "Spellbound", J.D.'s debut CD was born. Recorded on the run, and mixed on the fly, Spellbound was available almost immediately.
J.D. jokes that the CD went "aluminum" selling at least 100 copies.
In June of 2005, J.D. signed with runningmouthMedia, a promotions and record company in Jersey City, New Jersey, owned by NAMMY award winning artist, Wayquay.
In early 2006, J.D. returned to the studio.a real one this time.and began laying down tracks for a second CD, "So There I Was.". Many accomplished musicians and writers contributed to this project, making it worthy of 6 submissions for NAMMY nominations and a Native-E Music Award for the song, "How You Gonna Be?"
Upon completion of that CD, the popular band, Backlash, joined with J.D. to become Red Circle headlining shows and opening for acts such as Chris Caffery (Savatage/Tran-Siberian Orchestra); Doro Pesch (Warlok) and several others.
A little country, a little rock a little blues and a lot of Indian attitude make J.D. Nash & Red Circle what they are. Give them a listen and holler like hell if you like it!
