The Jamacha Project – Biography
The Jamacha Project. The band is frequently asked, “What does Jamacha mean?” The word “Jamacha” (pronounced HAM-ə-shaw) is a Kumeyaay word meaning “wild gourd.” As often as the band members have been called wild gourds, or worse, the real connection to the name “Jamacha” comes from the east San Diego County community where the Project began. The one thing everyone had in common, besides making Southern California Rock and Soul music, was that Jamacha Road ran right through the area they live. In a way, Jamacha Road brought them together, mentally as well as physically.
Although all of The Jamacha Project’s members have been playing since they were kids the original members, Chris, Mark, and Rodger, set up the project. After Rodger moved on, Tom joined and Barry followed a bit later. All are excited by the creative freedom of the project. That’s why calling their band a “Project” was so important. Each member is encouraged to create original music in any genre while all the other members bring their extensive musical backgrounds and influences to the mix. It creates a unique sound, all their own, that is both memorable and fun to see live or listen to while cruising down the great American highway. The mixture of rock and soul, along with a Southern California flair are intricately woven together with thoughtful lyrics and tight harmonies. Just one listen to The Jamacha Project and you will be hooked.
You can catch The Jamacha Project playing various venues in Southern California. As lifelong residents they have supported meaningful causes that are close to their hearts. Over the years of playing music, creating friends and nurturing their families, their love of music is taking a front seat again and invite you along for the ride.
