About Brent Jameson and the Sordid Seeds:

Jameson and the Sordid Seeds is a bumpin’ original reggae rock and blues rock band based out of Northwest Montana. The band formed in late 2009 and has gained national recognition quickly becoming one of Relix magazine’s 2010 artists on the rise. In 2011 the Sordid Seeds spent a majority of the year playing shows throughout the nation in support of their debut album Two Shoes in Mary’s Basement developing a strong reputation for putting on an amazing show and not holding anything back on stage.

Often described as a cross between the Black Keys and Sublime with a hint of Dave Matthews, Jameson and the Sordid Seeds blends heavy blues guitar with reggae-rock beats and strong hooks that you’ll be singing when you wake up the morning after. The title of the band’s single “I Got Soul” fits perfectly as you can hear the passion in the vocals of frontman Brent Jameson throughout the album. The band left a great buzz across the country from their 2011 tour and have just released their sophomore album titled “I Walk Down Your Street”. The band plans on playing throughout the nation in support of this album so be on the lookout for dates. They have a great live energy making for a great show you won’t want to miss.
