Wednesday! Itโ€™s the tipping point of our week. When rain breaks and dew forms on the leaves.
Keep going! Let it roll! Itโ€™s all down hill now.

We, as The Jjen, come together and we play. Some people record those moments. Itโ€™s a โ€œhappeningโ€, so let it happen. Just like this moment now, the one we share together. Keep going and never give! #โค๏ธ #๐ŸŽถ

Hi everyone!
My name is Eric and I play drums, piano, make videos and I do what I can to help organize this thing we do. Iโ€™ve been working on this with the other guys over the last year and we are very excited to share it with you all, very soon!
๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ
I lived in Seattle back in the early 90s and played drums with a few bands. Treepeople, Built to spill, Christ on a Crutch, Elliott Smith and more. As a young active drummer, Seattle was a good place to be back then. I am so grateful to have been there during that time in music history. Yes, the opportunities were amazing! Thank you so very much universe! ๐Ÿ™ My gratitude cup runs over...
๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ
In the spring of 2016 I met Jake Snider, when I moved back from LA to the NW.
MtB was in the middle of recording the record Voids, (I got to play shaker, shells and tambourine! Sweet! So stoked).
๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ
Jake and I struck up a great friendship and he has been one of my best friends ever.
F**kn great man! Great friend!
๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ
A year ago I suggested we book some studio time and gather up some talented players to do a song writing session. Just instrumental music, no lyrics. My thought was to let the listener decide what the music means to them. A sound track to your life, is the simple way of saying it. Thematic instrumental rock music.
๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ
Our approach was to just show up, with no rehearsals, hit the record button and play.... yep. ๐Ÿ”ฅ It was like Ball-Lightning!
We had some song ideas and concepts of what we wanted but what we created turned into something much more then what we ever expected. Joyful and a very pleasant surprise.
๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ
Well... actually.... I knew, with that much talent in the same room...? We were bound to make something good. Better then good, it is absolutely fantastic and beyond our wildest dreams! We hope you all enjoy what we have made for you, The fans.
๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ
These guys rule! Thank you Jake, Justin, Nate, Ahren, Tad and Blake!
๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽถ
Thanks for being here!
Stay tuned!

Please go here, to the Gofundme page for Justin. We are asking everyone to help him after the attack last Sunday night. He had his jaw broken trying to stop a robbery at small convenience store. Please help out in anyway you can, every little bit helps. Justin could use a little help. Heโ€™s a super Hero, but even they need help sometimes!

Love you Justin, Hereโ€™s to a speedy recovery and a refortified spirit! We expect he we come back even stronger.

Eric, Jake and Nate are with Justin and we are The Jjen.

Thank you everyone, that is all for now.

The Jjen has an announcement:
Our brother and fellow bandmate Justin was in involved in an altercation last Sunday evening with a handful of thieves in a small convenience store. Justin tried to intervene during the robbery and he was attempting to assist the store owner in apprehending the thieves. During the altercation Justin had his jaw broken and was severely beaten. Last night (Monday)he had surgery to reconstruct his jaw. He came out of the surgery last night fine and is recovering in the hospital now. Do to hospital COVID-19 rules he is only allowed one visitor a day. I hope to see him soon, we all do.
Justinโ€™s jaw will take months to heal and we hope you will send all of your positive thoughts, kindness and good energy toward him during his hour of need.
The Jjen will be active in helping with his recovery and hospital costs. โ€œSpeedy health! our dear friendโ€!

Send a message or leave a comment of love please! Justin will see them. And it matters. You all matter. Be kind to each other. The world is an angry place, rise above it all. Live in grace and love. Itโ€™s the only thing that heals. True love and world peace.

Thank you
with a grateful heart, that is all for now.
