Their first stage performance together happened on May 16, 2022, and they have since played venues such as The Bitter End and Brooklyn Bridge Park.
"JAW is a Brooklyn-based band comprised of two brothers, 15-year-old Julian and 13-year-old Arthur Weston, and their friend, 12-year-old William Emmert. The band writes their own music and have a selection of their favorite covers in their repertoire. Arthur and William were in the same class, and since they both played music, Arthur asked William if he wanted to join him and Julian in forming JAW."
"With Julian on bass and lead vocals, Arthur on guitar and vocals and William on drums and vocals, they formed JAW, the name which comes from the first initials of their first names. They knew early on that rock was going to be the focus of the sound they wanted to play, heavily influenced by bands such as Rush, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jimmy Eat World, The Hives and Angie De Plat. There wasn't really that much deciding going on, said William. We didn't want to play country, Arthur said, laughing."
"JAW Though their first time playing together as a band technically took place on a Zoom talent show for school, the first time JAW hit the stage together as a band was on May 16, 2022. The trio performed on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights, a time they look back on fondly. Upstairs in my room, I have the shirt that I wore the first time hung up and it's a youth small, it's tiny, said Arthur."
"They've played at a handful of locations throughout the city, including The Bitter End, on Vanderbilt Avenue and in Brooklyn Bridge Park. JAW has also often shared the stage at the Bitter End during the Future Stars Show, a showcase"
