Jump Little Children (JLC or Jump) was formed in 1991 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Known for their unique sound, energetic live performances, and willingness to interact with fans, the band built a strong following over their fourteen years. They played their final show on December 30, 2005 in their adopted hometown of Charleston, South Carolina.
The band's name is taken from a song by blues musicians Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

there's a danger lying at every turn a steel-eyed star signing 'to whom it may concern' i catch my breath before the match starts to burn everyday lights a fuse
there's a false confession under my skin a doe-eyed disbeliever, a turned down chin keep on losing 'til it feels like a win but it's just a point of view
there's a light shining in my eyes a show off charlatan shelling out lies i see clearly 'til the flash starts to die but it's just a clue
there's a cloud rising from the sea a modern myth maker coming for me i see the rain fall like snakes from a tree and i know it's overdue
there's a stranger lying sound asleep a slung out stone sinking in the deep i give my dreams away the darkness i keep but I'm holding on to you
keep on waltzing past the grave keep on waltzing past the grave keep on waltzing past the grave for one more day
