The group, which includes a pair of lead singers who also pull double duty - Jacob Hemphill (guitar) and Bobby Lee (bass) – as well as Patrick O’Shea on keyboards, percussionist Kenn Brownell, and drummer Ryan Berty, originally came together in 1997. Since 2000, the quintet has issued three full length albums, and two EP ’s– their latest, “Stars and Stripes” (2008), is their fourth album release for the group’s own label, DMV.In the early half of 2009, the band will release their second DVD “SOJA Live In Hawai’i ~ A Marc Carlini Film”, followed by the highly anticipated album “Born In Babylon”, which is scheduled for release in the summer of ‘09.

Ever the road warriors (SOJA averages 150 gigs per year), the group is now on tour and will be hitting select cities in the U.S., Canada, Caribbean, Pacific Islands, South America, & Europe. Full lenghts mastered by Jim Fox
