Our sincerest gratitude to the drummers we have auditioned. However, we have yet to find what we are looking for. GUNNER JUMP is still actively searching for a drummer. We are also interested in getting a keyboardist and backing vocals. We are seeking artists with the right attitude, which we value as highly as talent. We are dedicated to this music and to this group and to practicing industry standards when it comes to songwriting and song ownership.
WE WANT TO GO ALL THE WAY!! So, please understand that we MUST have artists who feel the same way about the music, the industry and the effort involved in making things happen as we do. We are looking for musicians who truly believe in the music we have already recorded and would be willing and able to promote it. In addition we are also willing and able to collaborate with you as well as consider your original material for our repetoire and our next album.
Maybe you'd be interested in working with us?

LOCAL SAN DIEGO BAND GETS NATIONAL ATTENTION
San Diego resident Jon Jump, lead guitarist and chief songwriter for Gunner Jump, recently received the honor of being named one of the top 5 Finalists, in the Christian/Gospel category, by the Song of the Year (http://www.songoftheyear.com/ ) songwriting contest. Song of the Year is an international songwriting contest supporting VH-1’s Save the Music Foundation. The Song of the Year judges are some of the biggest names in music including many Grammy Award winners.
Song of the Year is excited to recognize Jon Jump for his exceptional songwriting ability for the song “Remember Me”. Jon competed against songwriters from all over the world for this honor. When asked what inspired the song, Jon commented that “The song was inspired by Dismus, the good thief, who died with Christ. His last words to Jesus, “Remember Me”.
Currently Jon, along with his band mate and lead vocalist, J.G. “Gunner” Franklin, is concentrating on promoting Gunner Jump and their debut EP release “Taking Chances” in the hopes of furthering their professional career in an effort to obtain a record label contract and make music their full-time pursuit.
