About Me


"The story of JEBO starts back in the Bristol of the late 1990's. There were two bands, K'Passa, all cajun folk rock and festival fun who were very popular. Then there was The Electric Druids , not quite as well known but had a cult following and were popular with the hippy alternative undergound. Sadly both bands fell apart around the time of the millenium, but out of the ashes of both a new and greater sound was to grow and JEBO was born. To cut a long story short the band released their debut album, the magnificent 'Sinking Without You' in 2006 with the legendary John Burns (Jethro Tull, Genesis and Peter Gabriel) in the producer's chair and within a few short months were opening up for The Musical Box at London's Royal Albert Hall. "So what?" you are saying, "why are JEBO so special?" Well, despite having a name that is, apparently, something obscene in Serbo-Croat; JEBO are one of those outfits that transcends genres, they are progressive, yet they can rock out like the best of them, they are as soulful as Jeff Buckley on a downer, yet at the same time can lift you up so your mind is flying on a cool breeze of musical inspiration. It's hard to describe, you'll just have to get hold of some of their stuff and see for yourselves. So take the chance to check them out, you'll not regret it." - Jon Wisbey (The BCFM Rock Show)
