question: Who fronts a band named after a character in a 1961 Joseph Heller novel?
answer: Jordan Jeffares
context: Title: Catch-22 (film)
  Passage: Catch-22 is a 1970 American black comedy war film adapted from the novel of the same name by Joseph Heller.  In creating a black comedy revolving around the "lunatic characters" of Heller's satirical anti-war novel set at a fictional World War II Mediterranean base, director Mike Nichols and screenwriter Buck Henry (also in the cast) worked on the film script for two years, converting Heller's complex novel to the medium of film.
  Title: Snowden (band)
  Passage: Snowden is an indie rock band fronted by musician and songwriter Jordan Jeffares.  The name is inspired by Snowden, a fictional character from the novel "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller.
  Title: Yossarian
  Passage: Capt. John Yossarian is a fictional character, the protagonist of Joseph Heller's satirical novel "Catch-22" and its sequel "Closing Time".  In "Catch-22", Yossarian might be a 28-year-old captain in the 256th squadron of the Army Air Forces where he could serve as a B-25 bombardier stationed on the small island of Pianosa off the Italian mainland during World War II.  Yossarian's exploits are based on the experiences of the author: Heller was also a bombardier in the Army Air Corps, stationed on an island off the coast of Italy during World War II.
  Title: B-25 Mitchell aircraft in Catch-22
  Passage: When "Catch-22" began preliminary production, Paramount made a decision to hire the Tallmantz Aviation organization to obtain sufficient North American B-25 Mitchell (B-25) bomber aircraft to recreate a Mediterranean wartime base as depicted in the Joseph Heller novel of the same name.  Tallmantz president, Frank G. Tallman found the war-surplus aircraft.  He also gathered aircrew to fly the aircraft and ground support crew to maintain the fleet.
  Title: No Laughing Matter (book)
  Passage: No Laughing Matter is a 1986 book co-authored by Joseph Heller and Speed Vogel.  The book covers Heller's struggle with Guillain–Barré syndrome from 1981 to 1982, as well as the experience of Vogel, Heller's longtime friend, helping with Heller's rehabilitation and serving as his public face during that time.  Heller and Vogel wrote alternating chapters.
  Title: Orr (Catch-22)
  Passage: Orr is a fictional character in the classic novel "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller.  Orr is a World War II bomber pilot who shares a tent with his good friend, the protagonist of the novel, Yossarian.  Described as "a warm-hearted, simple-minded gnome," Orr is generally considered crazy.  His most notable feature is repeatedly being shot down over water, but, until his final flight, always managing to survive along with his entire crew.  On his final flight, perhaps two-thirds of the way through the novel, he is again shot down into the Mediterranean, and is lost at sea.  Only in the last ten pages of the novel does Heller reveal that Orr's crashes were part of an elaborate (and successful) plot to escape the war.
  Title: Catch-22
  Passage: Catch-22 is a satirical novel by American author Joseph Heller.  He began writing it in 1953; the novel was first published in 1961.  Often cited as one of the most significant novels of the twentieth century, it uses a distinctive non-chronological third-person omniscient narration, describing events from the points of view of different characters.  The separate storylines are out of sequence so the timeline develops along with the plot.
  Title: We Bombed in New Haven
  Passage: We Bombed in New Haven is a 1967 play by Joseph Heller.  An anti-war black comedy, it is thematically linked in part to Heller's famous novel "Catch-22".
  Title: Portrait of an Artist, as an Old Man
  Passage: Portrait of an Artist, as an Old Man is a novel by Joseph Heller.  His final work, it depicts an elderly author as he tries to write a novel that is as successful as his earlier work.  The novel was published posthumously in 2000.  The concept of the novel mirrors that of the life of the author himself in that none of Heller's books sold nearly as well as "Catch-22".
  Title: Now and Then: From Coney Island to Here
  Passage: Now and Then is Joseph Heller's 1998 memoir.  The first half of the memoir focuses on Heller's childhood in Coney Island and is, in fact, as much about the place as it is about the man.  Heller describes growing up, his mother and half-siblings in a fundamentally safe and fun neighborhood of punch ball, football, amusement park, and Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Stand.
