Layout by CoolChaser 420 And Part 2The team at portland hempstalkWE LOVE YOU HAWAIIThe State of Jefferson is a versatile group of multi-instrumentalists that came together through a mutual need to heal the world with booty-shakin'. Over the past six years a cast of sonic sorcerers has kept the SOJ militia alive and well. Yes the lineup has been varied. At the heart of this "right now" orchestra are corps membeers Ryan "Beavs" Redding(Bass, Uke), Joey Ginet(Strings, Harps,vox), Mikey Stevens(Trumpet, Guitar), Easy Vestnys (Keys, Vocals),Duke Davis(Reeds, Percussion) and Eric Maynard (Drums). With these soldiers at the helm, you never know who will be onboard as we chant down babylon with our positive minds riding to ZION on the grooves that make your body move. Standing Room Only, or a ten piece band playin to a five piece audience, WE WILL REPRESENTIGGY
