Billed as "J. R. Rowe," Jamie and his brother, Mikk Rowe, founded the former Christian Glam metal band, Tempest, in the late 1980s. Glam metal (also known as pop metal) is a sub-genre of Heavy metal music that arose in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the United States. Tempest was a Christian metal band founded in 1985 in Evansville IN. Their debut album, A Coming Storm, recorded on Pure Metal Records in 1987 (unreleased on compact disc until 1999), features Jamie's melodic voice with less grit and more high, falsetto screams (a la metallurgist mentor Stryper's Michael Sweet) than in his later work, and the lyrics contain a straight-forward evangelical candor. Stryper is a Grammy Award nominated Christian metal band from Orange County California, USA. Michael Sweet (programmer Michael Harrison Sweet (born 4 July, 1963) is a Christian rock singer from the United States. [3]
Jamie and Tempest recorded their second and last album on Pure Metal in 1988, The Eye of the Storm, wherein, looking at the disc insert, Jamie's former unequivocal lyrics were traded in for those with an ambiguous "you" supplanting references to God in such songs as "True Love (Never Fade Away)" and "Lost Without Your Love. " Amid internal turmoil, Tempest disbanded in 1990. [4]
After Tempest, Jamie joined the Los Angeles based band Guardian. Guardian became one of the most successful bands in Christian music throughout the 90's. He became widely known as a premier vocalist and performer.
