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.
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 smashed
into the top 10 of The Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and helped guide their
second album, again self-titled, into The Billboard 200 chart.
