Their name hints at far away pleasures. Their sound is a mixture of worldly rhythms and intriguing melodies. Their goal is simple... to move their listeners. They are Jubeus.The name Jubeus is derived from a nectar-bearing tree in South America, from which an intoxicating spirit is prepared. This moniker seems ever so appropriate after immersing yourself in the music from their debut album 'Two Tone Circles.' Filled with lush harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and head-bobbing grooves, the album marks an important point in the evolution of a young band. With meager beginnings as a college band from Farmville, VA, Jubeus has worked hard to become a sought-after act in the area

Richmond now serves as their current home base, and Jubeus has performed at venues such as The Canal Club, Alley Katz, and Jammin Java. Their loyal following has begun to propel them into the spotlight, bringing many of their songs like 'Sunshine Lady' and 'Green Island Paradise' to the airwaves, courtesy of Richmond's 102.1 the X and other Virginia radio stations.

With a raspy growl, Jason Masi provides the lead vocals and rhythm guitar for the band. Luring listeners in with his emotional, on-stage authority, Masi contributes to the band's distinctive stage charisma. Backed by the solid rhythm section of Mike Jarvis on bass (and backing vocals) and Eric Jack on drums, Jubeus could sufficiently satisfy most audiences as a trio, but the band is flanked by an adept lead guitarist named Seth Thomas and Multi-instrumentalist Brian Reed. Rounding out their sound, the quintet aptly utilizes each member's strengths to showcase a band that is not only mesmerizing on stage, but also articulate in the recording studio.

Produced primarily by Stewart Meyers (of Agents of Good Roots), 'Two Tone Circles' captures a band in its vital youth. With rockers like 'Burning Time' and 'Sugary Sweetness' the band breathes a young, fresh vibe into their music. Providing each song with a life and pulse, Jubeus also demonstrate their diversity by changing gears with the up-tempo Caribbean-themed insturmental song 'Coconuts and Bikinis' or by subtly calming the mood with mellow grooves like 'Canoe' and 'Everyone Has a Ghost.'Jubeus is at the forefront of a song-driven, jam-friendly musical movement, and their mark will certainly be left. The group's drive and determination has already pulled them through hard times. With a growing web presence, Jubeus contnually packs clubs and satisfies crowds with thier mix of roots-rock originals and ever-pleasing covers. They have had the chance to share the stage with bands such as Everclear, The Sugar Hill Gang, Two Skinny Jays, Caveman, DJ Williams, Junction and many more. The nature of their music appeals to such a broad audience, this a group that will be winning over crowds in the months and years to come.
