About Me

Hello! If you don't know us we're a band out of Waterloo. We have been together for 2 years. We love playing shows: at coffee houses, fundraisers, sleazy bars, your Grandma's birthday, where ever they will take us. We write our own stuff, and have released four amateur albums "Shady J's: the Album," "the 'Hometown Sessions,'" "Creative Outlet", and our newest "Tom Foolery". We all live together now, under one big shady roof. We turned one room into a studio and are phyched about recording our fifth album. If you like what you hear you could check out our purevolume. Although it doesn't get much attention, it has our first two albums in their entirety.Be sure to check out some of our videos. Our buddy Justus has put together some cool clips for us. Hope you enjoy our page and be sure to keep it Shady! -with love from the Shady J's....
