Brad, Will, and I all knew that we wanted to continue the band. We really love playing the music and we weren’t ready to let it die. But at the same time, it’s ... http://jababamusic.com/blog/?p=86 Since we began playing together two years ago, Jababa has always been a tight-knit group. We are close friends first and foremost, and everything we have created stems from this friendship and our high level of mutual respect and admiration for one another as musicians and individuals. While it is never ... http://jababamusic.com/blog/?p=80 Later this month, Jababa will be taking our show on the road – to Venice Beach, California. On November 21, we will play at the art gallery grand opening party for Soltar, Will’s Burning Man art installation. This will mark the first time we’ve played outside the state of Colorado. ... http://jababamusic.com/blog/?p=77 Despite the fact that this post is nowhere near current and timely anymore, I feel the story is absolutely worth telling. So here it is. In late August, we headlined the Downtown Get Down in Louisville. While the show ultimately went down as an overwhelming success, it will most likely ... http://jababamusic.com/blog/?p=73 At the end of July, we had pleasure of playing at the second annual Some Mountain Jam. As expected, it was one of the highlights of the summer. I want to throw a HUGE shout-out to Jeff Lineback for throwing a kick-ass party that exceeded everyone’s expectations. It is truly amazing ... http://jababamusic.com/blog/?p=69 Last weekend, we played one of the odder gigs I’ve ever been a part of.

There was a tub of free ... http://jababamusic.com/blog/?p=64 It's been awhile since I've updated this blog. What can I say? Sometimes life gets crazy and updating the band blog has to get put on the backburner for awhile. I will try not to take 4 months off again though. That is a bit extreme. However, it is a ... http://jababamusic.com/blog/?p=60 When I originally set out to organize this cat trip, I figured it would be easy. I’ve lived in and around the Vail valley for over 10 years, and I know more than enough people to fill a 12 person snow cat for a back country ski trip. Or so ... http://jababamusic.com/blog/?p=56 I have recently been assaulted by a number of arm-chair musicians. Most of them have good intentions – they see something in our music and they think they’ve figured out exactly what we need to do to take it to the next level. They feel it is their moral obligation ... http://jababamusic.com/blog/?p=51 It has been a long and arduous road over the past month. The events that transpired tested my patience, my sanity, and my faith in the ability of others to do what is right. But in the end, I made it through the journey and have received the prize.
