Last week I got to meet someone that I've been a fan of for a couple years! J.P. fronts the latin funk band Reposado and hosts the Monday Night Open Jam at The Sea Monster in Wallingford!

Reposado blends latin, soul, funk and afrobeat music into a large ensemble band. I first saw Reposado during the Summer of 2022 when Balcony Bridge shared the stage with them at a local music festival in Pioneer Square called Forest For The Trees. Ever since i've been a fan of their music and have enjoyed some truly fantastic live performances from them. Their shows get you dancing and are full of life! Most recently I saw them headline at Tractor Tavern with Jimmy James and Tiffany Wilson. That show truly blew me away!

I enjoyed getting to know J.P. and I respect him as a leader in the music community. He has a vision of unification, connecting different music scenes across Seattle and building a better world.

We talked about the struggle of reconciling the darkness of the world, the power of music as the spark to building community, connecting with others by welcoming each other's truth and so much more!

Be sure to follow Reposado on instagram @Tequilafunk and catch their upcoming shows where you can snag their full length vinyl and get yourself FED with beautiful music and great dancing!
