The Jompson Brothers are an American Rock band that formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 2007. The band is composed of Chris Stapleton (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Greg McKee (lead guitar), Bard McNamee (drums), and J.T. Cure (bass).

Following Stapleton's departure from The SteelDrivers in early 2010,[1] The Jompson Brothers began regularly touring the southeastern US. Following a festival performance in Morehead, Kentucky, No Depression called the band "the future of rock 'n' roll."[2]

Zac Brown Band hand-picked The Jompson Brothers to perform on their Sixthman-produced, Sailing Southern Ground Cruise in September 2010.[3]

The Jompson Brothers independently released their self-titled debut album in November 2010.[4] The band continued to tour through April 2013 and shared stages with such notable acts as North Mississippi Allstars, Delbert McClinton, Darius Rucker, David Allan Coe, The Whigs, The Cadillac Three, The Dirty Guv'nahs, J. Roddy Walston and the Business, and Lera Lynn.

Jason Aldean uses The Jompson Brothers' song, "Secret Weapon" as his intro music every night for his live shows and has described it as "just one of those songs that gets you fired up and ready to go."[5]
