Sounds LikeJoBu is a fusion of rock and reggae. We create an atmosphere that makes people dance and groove, and just when they think that were rockin right in the pocket we take them on a ride to the ultimate climax. It has been said that our vocals resemble Sublime and Incubus. As a whole we try to keep everything as original and unique as possible.

   About JoBu
JoBu has been a full-fledged touring band for several years now. With the perfect mix of reggae dance vibe and head bobbing rock JoBu delivers a performance that leaves everybody ready for more. JoBu is the ultimate crowd pleaser, hooking people with catchy lyrics, and filling dance floors with hard beats. Put JoBu in front of 50,000 people and watch them shine. After the release of their first studio album “Stop Time” the band has been seeing a great increase in fan volume, especially at live performances. This success has begun to jet them across the nation with tours stretching from Milwaukee Wisconsin, to Key West Florida. Across the Midwest and in some places across the nation JoBu is becoming a household name. Their current exposure is causing an explosion of website and myspace visits, plays, and activity. “Stop Time” is available at cdbaby.com, itunes, and like always at JoBu shows everywhere!!

It's officially craft beer month here in Michigan, figured one of your tracks would go well with the deliciousness the Great Lakes State has to offer, so I played one last week to get the combo just right.

Check the blog for more info.

Did you know a can of SPAM is opened every 4 seconds?

I'd like to think by playing your song last week, we helped put a stop to a least one of those cans being opened, consumed, or touched.
