The band's members are Abe Mills (from St. Louis, Missouri), Dave Kimball (Sandy, Utah), Justin Smith (Parma, Idaho), and Bret Bryce (Knoxville, Tennessee).
After expressing strong desires to use their performing talents in a way that would be both entertaining and inspiring, they decided to form a new group, Jericho Road.
When Abe Mills, Bret Bryce, Dave Kimball, and Justin Smith stepped onto the music scene as Jericho Road in August 2001, they were met with immediate success.
Their self-titled debut release broke all sales records for their label Shadow Mountain, selling over 10,000 copies in its first week.
Having completed two tours throughout the West coast and Canada in 2002 and 2003, the band also performed in Washington D.C., Kansas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama.
[citation needed] In the fall of 2003 the group was asked to sing the National Anthem at the 100th anniversary of the first World Series at Dodgertown Sports & Conference Center in Vero Beach, Florida.
