There's something unique about Josh Pinkston
and his folk rock project Jefferson Street.
In the modern age of music subjugated under the seemingly
all-important ideal of consumerism, many a great songwriter
has been forgotten or ignored simply to satisfy the
bottom line. We here at Last Stand Records
are strong believers in the ability of songwriting to
capture moments of emotion in an accessible way that
allows the listeners to take an active part in the music
experience. We signed Jefferson Street because
we believe in Pinkston's ability to write tender and
affecting music that invites the listener into a world
that can be shared with the artist. The music of Jefferson
Street has a power equal to that of the early folk
rock heroes, like Paul Simon and Bob Dylan, in that
all three of these songwriters are able to affect their
listeners in an honest and tangible way. The
"When You're Mine" EP is actually
just a teaser of the full length "On The West
Coast And In Love" LP coming in June 2003,
a sample of some excellent and sincere songwriting that
continuously grows on the listener until the songs become
integrated into their every day lives. We are honored
to present this EP and are excited to see where the
music goes from here." — Kevin Meng, Last
Stand Records
"Josh writes thoughtful songs, with clever melodies
and honest delivery that leaves the song in its raw
beautiful form ... I'm glad I'm a part of it."
— Masaki Lu, Producer / Engineer - One-Way
Studio
"What I find so valuable about music is evident
in Jefferson Street. (Their) music has the unique potential
to create connections between the listener and the artist."
