About Me

JHANA THE BAND HAS BROKEN UP AND FORMED TWO NEW GROUPS.CHECK OUT WHAT JAMES, DYLAN, ALEX, AND RHYNE ARE DOING IN THEIR NEW GROUP MIDNIGHT TRANSIT. WWW.MYSPACE.COM/MIDNIGHTTRANSITCHECK OUT WHAT GARRET IS DOING IN HIS NEW GROUP HILLSIDE FIRE. WWW.MYSPACE.COM/HILLSIDEFIREJhana is a meditative state of profound stillness and concentration in which the mind becomes fully immersed and absorbed in the chosen object of attention.-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------James and Garret have been creating music together since the year 2006. Establishing a psychedelic power duo of a musical entity.Rhyne and Steve also have been creating music together since the year 2006, which is where the band name originated.Garret began playing with Rhyne and Steve in December of 06', and continued to do so until June of 07', which is when James was introduced into the mix.By June of 07' the quartet know as Jhana was in full breathing formality. With Steve galloping elegantly like a gazelle, leading the way on bass, Rhyne driving the whole thing on percussion, and James and Garrets' Psychedelic Duo comping/soloing filling the rest in.By June of 08', Steve was ready to embark upon his next adventure, which has led him to residing in Washington.First, became "The Trio", with James playing both guitar and bass, rhyne on percussion, and garret playing keys, kicking bass when appropriate.Two months happened, and by September of 08' musician extraordinaire Alex Garcia had found his way home.Since then, Jhana has been writing new tunes, recording weekly, promoting, booking shows, networking, and developing all aspects of which are involved in this life force.We've all made it here, and want nothing more than to share it with all of you. :)Extended Network Banner made with MyBannerMaker.com!
