Jar

Biography

After more than ten years and over 150 concerts as support act for legendary artists like The Skatalites, The Aggrolites, Keith & Tex, New Kingston and many more; the five heads of the only and certainly most unique Reggae band in the whole canton of Thurgau, Switzerland are more than ready for new challenges! Thus they will huddle up with sound specialists and reggae musicians Florian Strober and Bernhard Fischer (The Steadytones, Judge Dread Memorial) in a studio in quaint lower Bavaria. One can expect a whole bunch of offbeat music, ranging from Roots over Rocksteady to Ska. You do not want to miss that!

With Jar, modern Reggae melts with classic Rocksteady and experimental influences from the experience of each band member with time-proven Traditional Ska. Like the vintage Hammond organ with a Leslie amplifier that gets a boost from modern distortion pedals and echo devices, the band's music captures the symbiosis between tradition and progress. It creates a unique sound that just won't let you sit still. In summer, it fits right in and in winter, it keeps you warm.

The band's yet-to-be-named debut LP will be released in the second semester of 2019. Until that day and the accompanying club tour, there are festivals to be played, videos and singles to be released, and so much more. It's a journey very worth taking. It's about togetherness and unity, about family and friendship. Above all else, it's about love. The more the merrier, so join us: It's gonna be a joyful ride!
