If you missed this dynamic team of musical magicians this past Saturday when they played Shenanigans in Warner Robins, you missed a treat! JuBee And The Morning After are showing up on stages all over the country. Talking about another best kept secret in, Macon, GA! And the fans from Macon love them! For a band to have been together only one year, they’ve already made their way to live television performances with the latest being Jimmy Kimmel Live, late night, where the band performed it’s hit single, “On“. And as usual, they turned that mother out too. Nik was able to get a chit chat with the Leader of the Pack, Dewayne “JuBee” Webb to share with the fans a little something about JuBee And The Morning After.
NIK: When did you first fall in love with music?
JUBEE: I started in the church. I was in the youth choir. In elementary school I participated in music class and I was on Chorus. I was like A+ in all my music classes. I remember I used to sing like every Easter at my church. My brother used to play piano and sing. I looked up to him a lot. I started rapping like middle school, 10 or 11. I started doing little battles outside or on the bus.
NIK: Tell us a little about your growing up days.
JUBEE: Growing up –I was raised by my Ant & Uncle, I’m originally from New York but I moved at a very early age down south. I was raised up off really old school stuff; Sam Cook, Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Frankie Lymon…All that was just great live music.
NIK: Most Indie Artist today is solo or duo acts. What made you decide to do a band thing in today’s hard core area of music?
JUBEE: Actually this is my second band. My first band used to play behind my first group, City Counsel which are a duo that I have that’s on hiatus right now for obvious reasons. JuBee started out as my side project. I love being on stage doing it because the people really can connect to it. I love it. I really do. Plus I ended up playing saxophone in my school band, in middle school and high school, and that had a part to play in it too.
NIK: Why don’t you go ahead and introduce the band to us.
JUBEE: On Base and backup vocals and a little vocals, we have “The Captain, Danny Effin Davis” on Drums and backup vocals, we have Alex Scarborough, on Lead Guitar we have Alec Stanley. We have rotating musicians, Adam Cress, who comes to play Keys, and my boy on saxophone Corey, whenever he’s in town, he’s in school right now and of course yours truly, 
Dewayne “JuBee” Webb, on Lead Vocals.
NIK: You guys won the Samsung AT&T Summer Crush Opening Act Contest which landed you a spot on Jimmy Kimmel Live, what was that like, being on JKL?
JUBEE: That was an awesome experience, one of the best in my life, I can say, especially one of the best in my career. Getting there and actually winning was surreal. Playing…it was Great! Now between that it was nerve racking. We played for about 4,000 people. We’ve had some pretty big shows but that’s probably our biggest crowd we’ve had to date. Playing in front of the legendary Paramount Theater in Seattle Washington, opening up for “Pit Bull”, it was amazing.
NIK: With all the recognition you guys are getting right now, have you been approached by a major?
JUBEE: We’ve been talking to a few people but it’s not really something that defines my final goal; I guess you can say, in doing this, because a lot of deals aren’t what they used to be. So that’s not really my main focus. I want to do what I love and I want to keep doing things like the JK lives, the big shows. I wanna tour, I love being on stage. I want to get our music to a wider audience. And if a deal comes I want to be able to keep my creative integrity and keep doing what we’ve been doing. When that opportunity comes, when that deal comes, we’ll work it out over here.
NIK: “On”, that’s my jam! That’s my get up and get it popping song. Can we look for more of that kind of music from the band?
JUBEE: Oh yeah, definitely can. We are actually working on a full length album at this time. We shooting more videos for the songs we have out right now. I’m pretty sure the next single will be “Weather”. It’s already been coined the everyday people national anthem. That’s one thing I want this band to be known for, we’re the every day people band.
NIK: We want to thank you for your time and always know “The Heat” wants to keep everybody abreast with what’s happening with “JuBee And The Morning After”. So don’t be a stranger friend.
JUBEE: With your help I’ll do that! Thanks Nik and thanks to “The Heat” for giving me a moment to vibe with the fans.
Much Love! One Love!
