Space Jesus ft. Minnesota
January 27, 2019
Location: Song Birds South Stage
Space Jesus is the feeling you get when you travel through a wormhole in a fresh pair of Jordans. Jasha Tull was born in New Jersey and raised on hip hop. With his alarm set to NYC’s Hot 97 throughout elementary school, Jasha started making beats at at a young age, and created Space Jesus as a vessel to express his personal experiences through music. With a focus on alien basslines, gangster beats, and future feels, the Spaceman imprints his signature sound onto each genre he graces. After building a reputation for his dynamic live performances, and with appearances EDC, Electric Forest, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and beyond under his belt, Space Jesus continues to explore the auditory universe in search of lower frequencies.
