JUBILEE - the abolitionist band: Formed in 2004, JUBILEE has used its music to raise awareness and funds to fight modern slavery. Half the money from every album they’ve ever sold has been donated to groups working on the front lines. Lead singer Curtis Romjue says, “Music makes our lives better. We hope our music can improve the lives of others. Nothing I’ve learned about the world disturbs me more than slavery and the forced prostitution of young children. This needs to frickin’ stop. It’s powerful to point out these gross realities, because they repugnantly illustrate the logical and inevitable out-workings of an ill-tended human heart. Music helps us to ruminate on life and live a more poised, intentional, and fruitful existence.”
Genre: folk, rock, surf. or “beachtown folk rock”
