Hailing from Corinth, Mississippi USA, Saving Abel was founded in late 2004 when vocalist Jared Weeks and guitarist Jason Null met at a concert; the two began writing songs and by early 2005 they were in the studio recording an acoustic demo under the name Shade Of Grace. The demo would earn them the opportunity they had been hoping for and the recognition they deserved. After nearly six months of searching, mutual friend and drummer Blake Dixon joined the group, soon afterwards they recruited guitarist Scott Bartlett; the newest member, bassist Daniel Dwight, completed the line-up.

By blending the individual talents and diverse styles of these five artists, Saving Abel emerged with a unique and original sound, a polished combination of Southern and Alternative-Rock.

 

In June 2006, the quintet self-released their eponymous debut CD. Dwight was later replaced by new bass player Eric Taylor.

 

Upon hearing the addictive track, Virgin Records felt so confident in Saving Abel that they snatched them up and sent them into the studio to cut new material including the single "Addicted", which peaked at #2 on The Hot Mainstream Rock chart, at #7 on The Hot Modern Rock Tracks and helped guide their second album, again self-titled, into the top 50 of The Billboard 200 chart. "Addicted" also inched into the top 20 of The Billboard Hot 100 and was followed by two more smashes: "18 Days" hit #6 on The Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and #10 on alt-Rock airplay chart and "Drowning (Face Down)" rose to #3 on The Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks.

 

Saving Abel will release their highly anticipated second album titled "Miss America" on June 8, 2010. The first single is entitled "Stupid Girl (Only In Hollywood)".
