ABOUT THE ARTISTS
U.N. Jefferson
U.N. Jefferson is a 9 piece collective that fuses elements of Soul with the fundamentals of Motown and early R&B to create a sound that is both familiar and fresh.
Rooted in the vintage sounds of James Brown, The Temptations, and Wilson Pickett the band manages to keep one foot in the foundation of traditional Soul while cultivating an authentic take on a classic genre.
Fronted by singer-songwriter Ajay Massey, U.N. Jefferson’s dynamic live performance delivers a high degree of energy and showmanship. The band’s infectious sound and Massey’s fervor for entertaining the crowd knows no bounds. Standing still is not an option.
Sunshine Makers
