Justa Jesta is the studio project of father and son, Dewi and Lloyd Smith, of Camrose. Dewi played in London bands before relocating to Pembrokeshire and now writes and records his catchy and varied pop songs in his home studio but no longer plays live (though he does give guitar lessons).
Lloyd, who is 19, plays bass on his father's songs and does play live, being much in demand as a session player in London and Bristol. In Pembrokeshire he has been mentored by, and played in the bands of, local music legends Mike Chant (Mirror Show) and Ben Davies (Sleeping Dogs).
They collaborate with Haverfordwest based vocalist KV Lyle, whose soulful vocals were much in demand with London artists before she too returned to her home county.
All of the songs played this week are taken from their Colours of the Soul album except Loud and Clear which is their latest single. Available on all the usual platforms.
Dewi and Lloyd chatted to BB Skone on his Show of Sunday 4th May about their music - the interview can be heard on Catch-up.
Dewi is currently seeking an experienced Country singer and/or guitarist for his latest project.
