Jake McKelvie & the Countertops

Jake McKelvie & the Countertops are an indie-rock band from Keene, NH described as "one of the best up and coming musical experiences Keene has to offer". They have toured all over the U.S. opening for many national and local acts, including: Big D and the Kids Table, Ramshackle Glory, Eef Barzelay (Clem Snide), and The Heligoats. The band's sound ranges "from a cheekier Bright Eyes to a more literary Dead Milkmen" and their live shows contain equal parts goofball-theatrics and good musicianship.

In just over two years, JCM & Tops have released two full-length albums and completed one full U.S. tour and multiple tours throughout New England. The ratio of folk to punk-rock in the songs is even enough to encompass a wide variety of listeners.
