Their self-titled debut album, released in 2002, was followed up in 2004 with a full band exodus to the birthplace of reggae and origin of the musical flavor, the island of Jamaica. Over the course of time Soul Majestic took on several incarnations, shifting personnel and evolving their sound with each successive album they recorded independently.
The only element missing was the percussive spicing that eventually brought Brian back into the mix.

With a background in Soul and R&B, a stint with another Cali based reggae project, and a resume that included recording on two movie soundtracks, Oriana was the perfect compliment to Eric’s colorful and complex music writing style and David’s technical and intricate rock infused guitar licks. Enter Oriana Sanders, a soulful songstress from Los Angeles. With Eric-I on vocals (and initially drums) and David on lead guitar, they began to assemble the ingredients for a team of players that included full horn section and female harmony vocals. In 1999, what would become Soul Majestic began to take shape. From seaside drum circles to the eventual formation of a popular local psychedelic-folk-rock-reggae band called Lighting Bug Johnson, the three bonded and the roots of Soul Majestic took hold. This particular version emerged when three talented young musicians, Eric Iverson, David Lyons and Brian Jarvis connected in the fertile ground nestled between California’s coast and Santa Barbara’s majestic mountain range. Soul Majestic’s musical recipe is not one whipped up by corporate interests for mass production of a cheap product to force feed the population, but one handed down from ancestors and elders, and developed through the process of sharing. Pepper in an unrefined activist message with organic, highly danceable music, and finish up with an aroma of soulful and sultry musings on love, and you’ve got a hearty helping of Soul Majestic. Want a taste of a new generation of music? Try Soul Majestic’s carefully crafted recipe that incorporates the talents of multiple vocalists, both male and female, blends in a youthful Jamaican-style edge with conscious lyrics, and adds a dash of laid-back California surf vibe and earth awareness.
