Having roots from both Memphis, Tennessee, and Cincinnati, Ohio, Above Only is Justin James, Chad Yarger and Jeff Koontz. Through lyrics laced with hope and substance, yet relevant to today’s world, Above Only’s mission is to reach a lost and hurting world with a much needed message of Christ. With radio play from great stations across the nation and tours with Decyfer Down, “AO” has been gaining momentum in their quest.

Working closely with Josh Oliver of the Grammy nominated band Decyfer Down / Legacy Artist Mgt and produced by Ben Kasica of the highly successful band Skillet, Above Only released their self-titled EP in early 2012.
