PB & Jam began at the University of South Florida (GO BULLS!) when singer/guitarist Matt Bellina and bass player Michael Lasso met up to play improvisational jam music and cover songs. 

Six years later, PB & Jam now exists as trio, with Andrew Reynolds completing the trifecta as drummer. Improvisation and deep jams define our sound. Guest appearances and sit-ins from long-time friends and musicians are commonplace.

You can also catch Matt Bellina's solo performances at local bars and venues.

“Music that fulfills the palate of even the hungriest and pickiest of music listeners” Spirits Republic are rockers by nature, but with a musical prowess that makes them one of a kind. Their music is a high energy dance party one second, and a headbanging mosh pit the next with their fans losing their S*** on cue. They have it all; insightful, catchy songwriting, ripping guitar solos, unforgiving slap bass, and explosive percussion. Think the classics, like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin mixed with The Smashing Pumpkins with a hint of early Red Hot Chili Peppers and Primus, and everything in between.  

Spirits Republic have always been DIY and they operate on their own terms. From merch to music videos, they make them by hand. When they want to play a last minute show, they find a house venue and pack it wall to wall. Online, they are consistently coming out with tongue and cheek social media content that turns heads. There really isn’t much that is off limits these days and they have no signs of slowing.  
 
The three-piece came together in the summer of 2016, and quickly began working on original music that would be included on their debut album, “Hourglass.” A hard hitting and diverse album that defined the band’s sound, expertly fusing elements of alternative rock, funk, psychedelia with hard hitting and abrupt musical breakdowns. This album enabled Spirits Republic to make their name within the Nashville music scene by playing live as often as possible. Whether it be gigging in their home town or on tour, they make new fans every single show they play.
