Happy Birthday to Jesse Carmichael from Maroon 5! Jesse is not only a songwriter for the band but he plays keyboard and guitar for them as well.  When the band formed in 1994 they didn’t go by Maroon 5 but Kara’s Flowers… then again they were in High School.  Their debut album, Song’s About Jane, came out in 2002 and was the start of a very successful career.

FUN LONG ISLAND FACT: Jesse Carmichael and Adam Levine went to Five Towns College
