Reggae music has a lot in common with jam music from a live standpoint. Both give fans an experience that keeps them coming back time and again. The famed reggae band SOJA caters to this fact, making sure to book many tour dates. They have future dates in cities like at the House of Blues in San Diego as well as in cities like Dallas, Austin, New Orleans and others.
Many people know them as SOJA, but the actual name of this famed reggae act is Soldier of Jah Army. The history of SOJA begins with the childhood friendship of vocalist/guitarist Jacob Hemphill and bassist Bob Jeffries. The two met while in first grade in Virginia and bonded over similar tastes in music. New friends in middle school and high school helped round out their lineup.
The sound of SOJA didn't feel quite right until the band members discovered the magic of reggae music. Soon, a sound engineer who only worked with Jamaican artists took an interest in their work and helped them create their first EP. Their first full-length album followed in 2002, and soon fans were flocking to their tour dates.
The members of SOJA have a deeper goal in mind than just entertaining fans. Like other reggae acts, the band aims to have their music be a uniting force between many different types of listeners. This makes their concert dates appeal to a variety of fans. Whether you are a reggae veteran or want to give the genre a try, check out SOJA near you.
