The band has performed on some of the nations most renowned music and art festivals, as Electric Forest, Summer Camp, Cali Roots, Shangri-laand Wakarusa to name a few. JWP incorporates musical ingredients, filled with vibrant acoustic-electronic riffs, coupled with a delicate splash of roots-reggae and socially conscious lyricism.

To the nights of the sold-out, hometown shows, to the days that we had no soul To the people we loved along the way, to the music that never gets old Could I stay right sized, could we be unified, an existence just a piece of the pie To all the places we been and the struggles within, seems the struggles made me into the man that I am. Do we remember what we started for. Did we bring love, or did we bring war. You're too blessed to be stressed, don't keep living in the past You're forgiven, now just open the door. Do we remember what we started for. Did we bring love, or did we bring war. You're too blessed to be stressed, don't keep living in the past You're forgiven, now just open the door. 

When the moon came up, and the sun went down, I reflected on the journey so far. Like my family in the banyan tree, it grows deeper when I look at the stars. Laying down on the sand, staring up at the sky, I sure contemplate through space and time You got fuel that feeds my soul fire with ease, take a look around, you know who you are. Do we remember what we started for. Did we bring love, or did we bring war. You're too blessed to be stressed, don't keep living in the past You're forgiven, now just open the door. Do we remember what we started for. Did we bring love, or did we bring war. You're too blessed to be stressed, don't keep living in the past You're forgiven, now just open the door. If we're not grateful for what we have now, What makes us think that we'd be happier with more? If we're not grateful for what we have now, What makes us think that we'd be happier with more? Do we remember what we started for. Did we bring love, or did we bring war. You're too blessed to be stressed, don't keep living in the past You're forgiven, now just open the door. Do we remember what we started for. Did we bring love, or did we bring war. You're too blessed to be stressed, don't keep living in the past You're forgiven, now just open the door.
