A song written by Alan Gorrie of the Average White Band is to be released on Sunday by Scottish band James Brown is Annie (JBiA for short).
It was produced by another co-founder of Average White Band, Molly Duncan and mastered by original Atlantic Records' engineer, Gene Paul.
The song has been played on Radio Scotland and BBC 6, and the song will be released on 22 February, 40 years to the day since Average White Band's Pick Up The Pieces went to Number 1 in America.
Formed at a piano bar in 2010, JBiA take their name from an Eddie Murphy Saturday Night Live Sketch. In 2011/2012, the group performed at the Edinburgh Hogmanay Street Party, sharing the Waverley Stage with Kassidy and The Vaccines.
Over the years, JBiA have supported Average White Band, Little Feat and Electric 6, Public Service Broadcasting, Hayseed Dixie and the Spin Doctors.
Festival appearances include the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival, Brew Bog, The Insider, Kelburn Garden Party, and as headliners of the Potting Shed at the Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival.
In 2014, JBiA were awarded investment funding from Creative Scotland to record their debut album.
