The Nobility (formerly known as Jetpack UK/Jetpack) is a pop rock band based in Nashville, Tennessee.

The band members are

  • Sean Williams — songwriting, vocals and guitar,
  • Stephen Jerkins, — guitar, keyboard and vocals
  • Brain Fuzzell, — percussion

Since 2001, The Nobility has become a popular band in Nashville. They have played many shows (often with other Nashville rock bands) and continue to record music and bring their unmistakable sound to other states.

David Dewese, who left the band to focus on other projects, played bass for the band in 2005 and 2006, and recorded on The Nobility's first album, The Mezzanine, which was released on July 31, 2007.

The band changed its name to The Nobility in May 2007 after having been known as Jetpack and Jetpack UK since 2001. There were many reasons for the change, the most urgent of which was a legal dispute with a band by the same name (Jetpack). The band also signed a management deal with Theory 8 Management in 2007.

[edit] Tours

At the end of May, 2006, The Nobility (then Jetpack UK) started "The Art of Building a Tour" Tour. They traveled across the northern part of the country playing shows in cities such as Indianapolis, Indiana, Chicago, Illinois, and New York City, New York.

The Nobility is the subject of a children's book titled Inside a Rock Band. It follows The Nobility through forming a band, writing lyrics, and playing shows. The book was written before the name change in 2007; therefore, the band is referred to as Jetpack UK. To promote the book, the band played full-volume rock shows in libraries across America.

The band will tour the northeastern U.S. in the late summer and early fall for their new album, The Mezzanine.

The Nobility also opened for Superdrag's final show on September 5, 2003.

On June 31 the band recorded an interview and some unreleased songs with the music podcast Have You Heard.
