Judge for Jaustian

Intimate, relaxing instrumental songs, colorfully and delicately arranged with lyrical tones which soothe, warm and romance the senses. A scenic drive of wonderment through the eyes and hearts of the Jaustian.
There are four of us in this band and we all come from different genres and locations in the world. However together we add a special blend of talent that challenges each of us to do our best work.
