State of Jefferson's Page

We would like to thank everyone for their support that has been involved with State of Jefferson throughout our ever so cosmic, musical journey. The love, blessings, and encouragement we receive from all the hundreds of people we meet is enlightening to us, and carrying us through the years, as well as showing all of us that we are on the right track. Spreading a message of love and community through music, and experiencing love and community.

Over the last ten years State of Jefferson has been hitting the road pretty hard. Performing over a hundred times a year up and down the west coast. From Seattle to San Fransisco and all points in between, we've really been covering some ground.The bands even been cruisin' off to the Hawaiian Islands for the last four years. We've been soakin' up some sun in the winter months as well as performing with some of Hawaii's premier musicians and artists. All this time we've become closer as friends within the band, honed our skills, and are now delving into a unique musical soup, creating a melting pot for ideas.

The bands diverse catalog includes most popular genres, melding together Dub, Reggae, Hip Hop, Jazz, Bluegrass, and the Jam. State of Jefferson has recently been the backing band for Hawaii's own Maacho as well as backing the Seattle Hempfest's house band the Herbivores. The band has shared the stage with many great, national and international acts such as Prezident Brown, Yellowman, Midnight, Abyssinians, Culture, Pato Banton and The Mystic Roots Band, Jah Levi, Zilla, Blue Turtle Seduction, Tea Leaf Green, and the list goes on.
