The current lineup has been together since 1998, and last year they won the "Best Rock/Pop Band" award at the 2001 Houston Press Music Awards. The band has been concentrating hard on winning over their region, with frequent tours through the South and West.
Jesus Presley has never done just one style of music, their sound comes from the diverse background of all the musicians that have been in the group over the years. Hood River gets to experience Jesus Presley this Saturday. Music begins at 10 p.m. and there will be a cover charge.
