Led by John Muka and Troy Towsley, the band\u2019s sound is a fusion of many styles from funk to rock with an emphasis on jamming. Often compared to bands like Dave Matthews, Phish, and Goose (to name just a few), the John Muka Band has carved out a unique original style that stands on its own as a true Jacksonville original sound. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Performing in the band are some of North Florida\u2019s most talented musicians including TR Zielinski on fiddle who is easily one of the most dynamic performers in the area. A new album \u201cThings I Can\u2019t Change\u201d (available now on all streaming platforms) was released in 2025 many positive reviews and accolades. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The band is set to follow-up with single releases that are planned for March 2026 with another full album in the works for later in 2026. The band\u2019s first show of 2026 will be at Jack Rabbits on March 22, 2026. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Look for many more appearances in in the near future with the band focused on performing live events in the coming months at local North Florida club venues and festivals. <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 nALdY copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WJXT News4JAX &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p>About the AuthorRance Adams headshot<a class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__LinkBase-sc-1fnzlkn-9 eUojqd gMnWPT\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news4jax.com\/team\/PYYWQ3DPABFXPK5MFUHXFJLBFA\/\" title=\"View Rance Adams&#039;s full profile\" itemprop=\"url\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rance Adams<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 gnunoy bOlrXa\">Rance Adams has worked in television for 20 years and has spent the last six years in Jacksonville as an MMJ, co-host, producer, and host for River City Live.<\/p>\n<p>Mother of 18-year-old killed at Westside Burger King serves customers, pays for meals in son\u2019s honor<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kSMyDq jdBbpv\">\u25b6 0:49<\/p>\n<p>Mother of 18-year-old killed at Westside Burger King serves customers, pays for meals in son\u2019s honorGator boys headed to Tampa to begin journey for back-to-back national titles<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kSMyDq jdBbpv\">\u25b6 1:39<\/p>\n<p>Gator boys headed to Tampa to begin journey for back-to-back national titlesJacksonville approves next step in bringing UF campus to city<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kSMyDq jdBbpv\">\u25b6 1:14<\/p>\n<p>Jacksonville approves next step in bringing UF campus to cityPrivate lender says she lost nearly $70K after working with BG Ventures Investment Real Estate<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kSMyDq jdBbpv\">\u25b6 0:43<\/p>\n<p>Private lender says she lost nearly $70K after working with BG Ventures Investment Real EstatePulse nightclub demolished as Orlando moves toward permanent memorial for 49 victims of massacre<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kSMyDq jdBbpv\">\u25b6 0:42<\/p>\n<p>Pulse nightclub demolished as Orlando moves toward permanent memorial for 49 victims of massacreGoFundMe launched after car crash sends Jacksonville family of 4 to multiple hospitals<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kSMyDq jdBbpv\">\u25b6 1:58<\/p>\n<p>GoFundMe launched after car crash sends Jacksonville family of 4 to multiple hospitalsBehind-the-scenes look at bomb squad training at Camp Blanding<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kSMyDq jdBbpv\">\u25b6 0:49<\/p>\n<p>Behind-the-scenes look at bomb squad training at Camp BlandingJacksonville NAACP urges delay in JEA appointment amid investigations<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kSMyDq jdBbpv\">\u25b6 0:58<\/p>\n<p>Jacksonville NAACP urges delay in JEA appointment amid investigationsCity Council holds first JEA Special Committee meeting over potential unpaid capacity fees<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kSMyDq jdBbpv\">\u25b6 1:08<\/p>\n<p>City Council holds first JEA Special Committee meeting over potential unpaid capacity feesAfter three years, still no arrests made in Jacksonville Beach St. Patrick\u2019s Day shootings <\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kSMyDq jdBbpv\">\u25b6 1:07<\/p>\n<p>After three years, still no arrests made in Jacksonville Beach St. Patrick\u2019s Day shootings Senate Housing Bill could boost Jacksonville\u2019s fight against affordability crisis<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kSMyDq jdBbpv\">\u25b6 2:12<\/p>\n<p>Senate Housing Bill could boost Jacksonville\u2019s fight against affordability crisisDonate, Declutter and Win During Goodwill\u2019s \u2018Clean Out Your Closet Week\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kSMyDq jdBbpv\">\u25b6 1:34<\/p>\n<p>Donate, Declutter and Win During Goodwill\u2019s \u2018Clean Out Your Closet Week\u2019Time to get some green in my garden.
