BIOGRAPHY
Jammie Bosstel grew up in Chesterton, Indiana, where he played trumpet in the school band before shifting toward rock music, and he also has military service in California in his background. As a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, he built his regional profile fronting the Jagermeister-sponsored band Signal from 2003 to 2009, a run that included opening slots for Hinder, Three Days Grace and The Cult. When a dispute over a song Signal wouldn't play pushed him to leave, Bosstel started Praise The Fallen, the band he still fronts today, mixing hard rock and metal with dabs of pop and alternative.
WHY THEY'RE COOL
Bosstel's arc is a familiar but genuine regional rock story: a trumpet-playing kid from small-town Indiana who did a stint in the military, landed a Jagermeister-backed band that shared stages with Hinder, Three Days Grace and The Cult, then walked away on principle to build Praise The Fallen from scratch. His sound leans hard rock and metal with pop and alternative touches, the kind of hybrid that fits club stages and support slots alike.
