J.B. BEVERLEY of The Wayward Drifters, The Bad Habits, The Little White Pills & Ghostdance!

J.B. Beverley was born in Virginia in 1977. Reared in a musical household, Beverley grew up on early country, bluegrass, rockabilly, big band, and various forms of old time blues. By his teens, the punk bug had bit, and nights at DC's 9:30 Club, and other haunts, became the norm. Learning the drums and guitar, J.B. formed his first band THE BAD HABITS in 1993. An old-school punk sound, rooted in influences like The Misfits, FEAR, Black Flag, and Motörhead, the Bad Habits (three different incarnations) made an small name for themselves in the DC area until calling it a day in 1996. With the Bad Habits gone, Beverley drifted around off and on. Working odd jobs and traveling by bus and freight train, J.B. began writing old time country blues songs and busking on various street corners to get by. He soon began commuting between the Washington DC area and New York City in 1998 when he became the front-man for The MURDER JUNKIES. The gig lasted over a year, but ended when Beverley found himself at odds with the law back in the DC area.
