In 2025, the band released the singles Predilection and Lil Fro; Stratton Setlist highlighted the songwriting and instrumentation of Predilection and described Lil Fro as drawing on themes of nostalgia inspired by the restoration of a 1984 Pontiac Fiero.[5] Predilection also received coverage in Review Magazine, which discussed the song’s warm acoustic textures and harmonious instrumentation.[6] The track was featured in Musicngear’s Americana Heartbeat playlist.[7]
The band occasionally performs as a duo under the name The JR Band or as a full four-piece ensemble called JR & Friends Band. The JR Band maintains an updated performance schedule on Bandsintown, listing upcoming shows and locations.[8]
