Background

AJR began busking in various parks of New York City on July 9, 2005,^[2] performing as tap dancers under the name lit. 'TB³' or 'Tapping Brothers to the Third Power'.^[3] Through donations made from passerby, the group was able to afford instruments, microphones, and a computer, transitioning into performing music.^[4] The brothers began referring to their band as Adam, Jack and Ryan, taking inspiration from Peter, Paul and Mary, before shortening it to AJR.^[5] They initially performed covers, later writing original songs.^[6] These were included on their independently released albums Born and Bred (2010) and Venture (2010).^[7]
