[edit] Biography
[edit] Early years
Reyne was educated in Melbourne, Australia, and lived there as a child. Before starting JRR & The P3, Reyne was a Solo singer/songwriter.

At the age of 18 Jaime Robbie packed his bags and headed to the UK to develop his music. For the following twelve months he played various gigs around London but spent most of his time pursuing his writing.
Returning to Australia late in 2005, he set about playing his wares determined to get his point across on stage back home in Australia. In solo guise he began playing shows in both Melbourne and Sydney - guitar, with harmonica.
Citing influences from Gram Parsons to Morrissey, Bob Dylan to Nirvana, Muddy Waters to The Band Reyne's music is steeped in country roots, deeply lathered in rich soulful blues but solidly centered in rock n' roll. His songwriting is honest and moving, drawing from both those who have had a lasting impression on him musically and an amalgamation of life experience. He sings of sorrow and heartache, anger and anticipation, but rustles up a mood that is full of gusto.

[edit] Reviews
The band's debut mini-album was named Single of the week and given 3.5 stars in The Daily Telegraph. "A rockin' blues mini-album which finds the son of James sounding eerily like his father for the first time in his nascent career. Opener The Blonde Hotel barely gives you time to catch breath with its relentless rhythm, To Be Your Friend is a sweet, fireside acoustic guitar and harmonica number and the title track is another rollicking bluesy rock song with some serious chops. The biggest achievement of these eight tracks is that they whet your appetite to see them live." --KM
