Josh Epstein and Daniel Zott formed JR JR (known then as Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr) in Detroit, Michigan in 2009. Prior to pairing up, the twosome had been searching for a creatively fluid situation where they could pool their talents as songwriters, singers, multi-instrumentalists, and producers. Since joining forces, the pair has released 4 albums, 5 EPs, and several standalone singles. Select career highlights include a number of memorable appearances on KCRW's “Morning Becomes Eclectic,” Conan, and The Late Late Show with James Corden; performances at major festivals like Bonnarroo, Austin City Limits, and Lollapallooza; and critical acclaim from a wide variety of outlets.  Their music went on to be featured in many films, television shows, and advertising content soundtracking culture for over a decade, and attracting new fans along the way. This includes campaigns for elite brands such as  Microsoft, YouTube, Guess?, Kinder and Major League Baseball and in-scene placements in 13 Reasons Why, Togetherness, Atypical, Sausage Party, Bad Moms, and I Am Cait. Their ubiquity in pop culture even saw them stepping outside their typical roles as musicians to act in Arrested Development and Comedy Central’s Detroiters, and even pen their own monthly column for ESPN.com. The duo’s fifth album, Back to the Land arrives in 2025!
