An intoxicating spirit of roots-rock and soul best describes the sound of Jubeus, an innovative quintet at the forefront of a new musical movement and will certainly leave their mark.

Basing most of their compositions around Jason Masi's singer/songwriter approach, Mike Jarvis (bass), Seth Thomas (guitar), Eric Jack (drums) and Brian Reed (keyboards, tin whistle, percussion, didgeridoo) display a unique ability to blend various styles including Latin, Celtic, funk and reggae into contemporary pop rock tunes. While parallels have been drawn between acts such as Rusted Root, Maroon 5 and Carbon Leaf, Jubeus provides audiences with a life and pulse unmistakably their own.

Originally forming as a college band in Farmville at Longwood University in 2000, Jubeus has continued to build a dedicated fan base by performing over 150 shows a year along the east coast from their current home base in Richmond VA. By aptly utilizing each members' strengths to showcase a band that is not only captivating on stage but also articulate in the recording studio, the band has brought many of their songs like “Sunshine Lady” and “Burning Time” to national airwaves as far out as Seattle, Washington through word of mouth.

Their first album Two Tone Circles (2004) was recorded and produced primarily by Stewart Meyers (of Agents of Good Roots) introducing heartfelt lyrics, intriguing melodies and head-bobbing grooves that marked an important point in the evolution of a young band finding its sound.

Their current release Natural Mood (2007) was produced and engineered by Scott Spelbring at Dragonfly Studios (Jason Mraz, SR-71) and will be toured extensively throughout the east coast during the next year. Natural Mood is an invigorating and satisfying recording marking the ongoing musical maturity between Masi's contemplative lyrics and the band's sonic support.

The upbeat funk-pop tunes “Until I Get There” and “Lotus” are sure to receive considerable air time while the self-titled track “Natural Mood” explores a fresh aural interplay that will intrigue both mainstream listeners and fans of the indie culture. Natural Mood marks the bands most accurate representation of well thought out compositions delivered with live energy. This record will reward long time fans and new listeners alike.
