Hope all is well. We first just want to send a quick thank you to all those who were involved in our recent video project. We had a lot of volunteers who really helped put it together and we appreciate everyone's support and hard work. We think you guys will all enjoy the final project which we're finishing up tonight. We will be launching a page on our website at www.jubeus.com with new pictures from the video shoots early next week. Make sure you check back and see if you can spot yourself! We will also be giving out free copies of the video at the next few shows. See below for details.
In other news, we just got back from Nashville TN where we met with our friends from Tinderbox Music and Dreamscapers International. They will be helping us secure shows in some new cities in 2008 and hopefully find some television networks to have Jubeus songs playing on some of your favorite TV shows. We'll keep you informed as more develops on that front.
As far as the "Natural Mood" release, things are going well. See the bottom of this email for stations where you can hear it and what people are saying.
Don't miss the opportunity to get a free copy of the new video at the next few shows on our schedule. This is what's happening over the next month. Hope to see you out soon!

Jubeus: Natural Mood - Music Review
By Sharon Tharp, HOT INDIE NEWS .com
Date Published: November 29, 2007
Jubeus is probably one of the most eclectic-sounding bands I've heard in a while. They have the ability to mix funk, soul, Latin, rock and numerous other types into one album-not an easily successful feat.
The tracks are easy listening and really exhibit a breath of fresh air with the use of more than the typical trio of guitar, bass, and drums. The high-quality vocals are strong and reminiscent of performers like Edwin McCain. The instrumentals however, are in a genre all their own and in this case, that's not a bad thing. Jubeus pulls off their attempt at something new and something they call their own. This album does not have a stale, boring sound in the least and you will be compelled to listen to the entire thing, wondering what they will come up with next. It's strange, it's daring, and it works.

.
In their bio, Jubeus declares that their influences range far and wide and that their creative process dips into every part of life. They aren't kidding when they say that their influences are far-ranging. In the first four songs, they bounce from a funky psychedelic vibe ("Until I Get There") to a blend of jazz and roots ("Lotus") to Latin ("Let's Pick Up Ourselves") to classic rock ("Look Out"). They definitely got me wondering what was coming next.
I found that what comes next is an album full of goodness. The melodies are easy on the ears and the songs are well-written and generally mellow in mood. The songs have a familiarity about them, but it's not easy to compare Jubeus to another band.
Really, I don't know what else to say about this album. It's a very enjoyable collection of eleven songs. The band works a good groove and they sing songs that are easily relatable. If you're in the mood for a roots-based band that isn't afraid to explore musical ground, this is a good album to check out.

Jubeus - Let's Pick Up Ourselves
Margarita Tuesday! Put on my dancing shoes and pick myself up to the extra delicious calypso beat, complete with rock guitars to turn this party into an all-night blast. Cuban piano leads us to “dance in circles – flowers everywhere.” And love is making this tasty treat even better with “the light of heaven on your pretty face.” The band is hot, the dancers beautiful, the bowls of fruit floating from hand to hand as we join in the excitement of the singer and the lead guitars pouring emotions around each other’s lines. Shoutouts for the 70s retro funk of Until I Get There and the reggae flavors of Love Is In The Air (“take your worries – throw them out the door”). Lots of fun! Jubeus

Jubeus - Natural Mood, Dragonfly Studios
Light the candles, pour the wine or your other favorite libation for seduction - and then off with the lights and everything else. Favorite “Love Is In The Air,” is just one of the romantic offerings on this nice compilation of easy-to-listen-to, poignant, tug at your heart strings songs from this Richmond, VA band. Soft and jazzy, Natural Mood would be an excellent addition for your library for those “special” occasions or a rainy day. Jason Masi (vocals, guitar) has written some exceptional songs and delivers them with a tender forcefulness. Other members are Mike Jarvis (bass, vocals), Seth Thomas (guitar - not the clock), Eric Jack (drums), and Brian Reed (keyboards). Every track is pleasing although somewhat predictable. Other standouts are, “Lotus,” “Silence” and “Up Your Sleeve.” Buy a ticket and get on board, Natural Mood is worth the fare.

JUBEUS – NATURAL MOOD (Self-Released)
Jubeus is the dangerous kind of roots-rock/soul/funk mix that you listen to while driving at midnight, with all of the windows down, after a long stressful day.
Natural Mood
Artist: Jubeus
Label: Indy
Length: 12 tracks
This band combines the sound of folk/jazz/and a little bit of jamaican flair to give a rather funky sound. "Let's Pick Up Ourselves" is a very enjoyable song that exemplifies this mixture well. However, other songs like "Look Out" and "Up Your Sleeve" sound a lot more rootsy in nature. So needless to say, you will find a lot of different music here. If you are in the mood for a buffet of music, you won't go wrong with Jubeus. (James Morovich)
CD Review:
Artist: Jubeus
Title: Natural Mood
Website: http://www.jubeus.com/
Style: Rock/Roots/Soul
By Staff Writer L. Anne Carrington
An intoxicating spirit of roots, rock and soul are the best descriptions of Jubeus, Richmond, VA-based quintet at the forefront of a new musical movement; a song-driven group that has soulful expression, heartfelt lyrics and head bobbing grooves.
Jubeus has become a prominent act in their region, gaining support across their native Virginia, in addition to Maryland, Washington, DC, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
The band's latest album, Natural Mood, displays the band's own unique sound to its fullest, using three-part harmonies that creates a set of original music with a decided edge. It is an excellent balance between vocals and instrumental that can't be placed in one category of music.
This CD is both eclectic and odd, yet well developed; each of the 11 tracks is very different from the last. The very best songs on the album are the opening track, "Until I Get there," "Look Out," "Silence," and of course, the title track, "Natural Mood."
Natural Mood is right up the alley of Indie music fans that are also into the unplugged sound, minus the hollow tones and sparse arrangements.
In any event, the nature of Jubeus' music appeals to such a broad audience, and if this album is any indication, this a group that will be winning over crowds in years to come.
JUBEUS
Natural Mood
October 12, 2007
Winners of the Maroon 5 sound-a-like contest, Jubeus manages to also infuse their music with the styles that influence them. [Whether] it’s the Latin feel of ‘Let’s Pick Up Ourselves’, the reggae sounding ‘Love Is In The Air’, or ‘Good Girl’ with its funk backbone, Jubeus actually blends styles together unlike so many other bands who just describe themselves that way to seem interesting. Natural Mood has the bands self described “intoxicating audio” refering to the Jubeus Tree, a South American tree whose nectar is often turned into an intoxicant. Natural Mood has plenty of B3 Hammond Organ whirls and Carlos Santana guitar tone to please many a Roots Rock or Jam Band fan.--Tim Warren

Jubeus
Natural Mood
Currently based out of Richmond, VA, this eclectic quintet delivers an interesting blend of pop-rock jams fused with elements of funk, Latin and Celtic musical styles. Still relatively unknown, Jubeus tours Virginia and the rest of the country vigorously, picking up new fans wherever they roam.
The group’s second effort, Natural Mood, showed Jubeus branching out and starting to experiment more. By adding more backing vocals and instrumental pieces, the record quickly stands up and gets attention. “Look Out” spends most of its time rocking back and forth between guitar riffs and drumming build-ups while an electric organ wails behind, creating a musical landscape for listeners to roam and play on. The reggae influenced jam, “Love Is in the Air,” brings swinging guitar and swooning vocals speaking of love and melody. While the record is a great experimental album, it tends to only work for certain types of listeners, leaving it with 3 out of 5 stars.

Jubeus - Natural Mood - CD
(Jubeus) Damn, at first I thought this was Jebus! Jubeus is a rock band with bits of funk and reggae thrown in to liven things up. I could see these playing an outdoor city festival. The music is good and well executed and could appeal to a large segment of any city's population. However, they do take on the feeling of a good time party band. There's nothing wrong with that and there are plenty out there doing a great job, it's just not my cup of tea.
-- Grog Mutant (2007) The Chicken Fish Speaks
Jubeus
Acoustic rock never seems to get the props it deserves.
Louder bands pack stadiums, while most great unplugged sets are playing across the country to a max capacity of 30 people per coffeehouse. But you needn't have a guitarist wailing through walls of distortion to make a good song, as the guys in this Richmond- based band are eager to prove. Ironically enough, the richness of Jubeus' natural sound comes from their attempts to fill up the spaces in their songs, much like their electric counterparts. A close listen will let you peel back the layers: There's a percussion and bass pocket that mixes classic, jazz and tribal patterns; guitars that complement each other across chords; vocals that become deep and lush with accompanying backup and instrumental harmony; and a tasteful blend of various world music sounds.
If you're a fan of the unplugged sound, Jubeus' textures will take you somewhere new and unexpected. And if you've avoided acoustic sets out of a dislike for sparse arrangements or hollow tones, this show will be an eye-opener.
