Special Concert: 'The J.O.B.' Is LIVE At The Best Ranger Competition

Richmond, VA (Top40 Charts/ The J.O.B. official website) Independent modern rock group 'The J.O.B.' will be traveling from Richmond, Virginia to Columbus, Georgia to perform a special concert to open the 30th Annual Best Ranger Competition at Fort Benning on April 10th, 2013. This show is especially significant for 'The J.O.B.' since the band's front man Jim O'Ferrell is himself a former US Army Airborne Ranger and a decorated combat veteran from the war in Iraq. The Best Ranger Competition is a grueling 3 day series of events among 2 man buddy teams from the world's most elite military units to determine who is the Best Ranger team in the world. It is the most prestigious competition of its kind and has been held at Fort Benning, Georgia since 1982.

"It is an incredible honor to have been selected to perform for this event," said O'Ferrell. "After so many years as a Ranger with a ruck sack on my back and a rifle in my hands, it's almost surreal to return to the home of the Rangers for this huge international event armed with amplifiers and guitars," he mused.

'The J.O.B.' was formed after O'Ferrell's return from Iraq in 2008. The band has released 4 albums since their inception and scored 2 songs on the FMQB AC Top 40 Chart in the United States. Their single "Feel" is currently #44 in the USA on adult contemporary radio after spending 20 consecutive weeks in the Top 40 (FMQB AC Top 200 3/21/2013). With an original sound often compared to Dave Matthews Band, Wilco, and the Black Keys, 'The J.O.B.' has an effective 'do it yourself' promotional effort that has garnered fans worldwide.
