Reggae big band sounds for a smooth smokey session

What’s A Spliff Got To Do With It

Seriously Sophisticated is a Colorado-rooted crew blending laid-back reggae grooves, stoner wisdom, and glitchy dub flavor into one smooth, elevated trip. Fronted by Blazey Jones—part mountain mystic, part slacker philosopher—the band channels the vibe of a Red Rocks sunset and a perfectly rolled spliff. The music’s got bounce, heart, and just enough weed smoke to fog your third eye (in a good way).

Whether it’s a cosmic dub breakdown or a cheeky lyric that makes you laugh mid-toke, we keep it real, raw, and ridiculously catchy. We’re not chasing trends—we’re chasing good vibes, open skies, and that sweet spot where the beat drops just as the clouds part. If you’re into soundtracks for slow burns, late-night sessions, and elevated living, you’re in the right spot.
