About Just Jinjer
Just Jinjer are one of the biggest rock band exports in South African history, having sold more that a quarter of a million albums to date. Their power and alluring appeal is fueled by a well-honed and heartfelt musicality, a commitment to communication on a genuine emotional and cerebral level — music that touches the heart, body, mind and soul — and a dedication to their musical mission that is virtually unstoppable.
The band is made up of Ard Matthews on vocals and guitar, Denholm Harding on Bass Guitar, and Brent Harris on Drums, this trio having been part of the solid foundation of the band since it’s inception.
Just Jinjer have shared the stage with many iconic local and international artists on many stages across the world. Most notably at the Nelson Mandela 46664 Concert, Johannesburg in 2009 where they performed with the likes of The Goo Goo Dolls, Annie Lennox, Razorlight, Ludacris, Corrinne Bailey Rae, Peter Gabriel, Live, and Angélique Kidjo. They have also performed support duties, and shared the bill with many international stars such as U2, Counting Crows, Def Leppard, INXS, Maroon 5, One Republic, Hootie and the Blowfish, The Strokes, and many more. On their own Just Jinjer have performed many sold out arena shows across South Africa.

Q&A with vocalist Ard Matthews from Just Jinjer
What He Means
Written by: Just Jinjer
if there is grace in this world
if there is light on this earth
let us use it
let us see it
starting right now
can we be down with ourselves
respectful and mindful of one, of one another
your significant other
your sister your brother
peace, love, more tolerance
faith hope, trust in the same name of god
peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope trust in the same god in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
that’s not what he means
and it doesn’t matter what book you read
is there relief up ahead
cos judgement and hearing await
a weight on our minds to bear
a shame on our heads to wear
where is salvation in love
now that we have what we want
now that we have our wars
peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope trust in the same god in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
that’s not what he means
and it doesn’t matter what book you read
with a little bit of ease and a little bit of calm
acceptance is the key to all we know
what about a stir of compassion and leaneance
what about some understanding
what about some sympathy
peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope trust in the same god in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
thats not what he means
and it doesn’t matter what book you read
freedom, kindness, warm deliverance, comfort, mercy
redemption song
redemption song
redemption song
freedom, kindness, warm deliverance, comfort, mercy
redemption song
redemption song
redemption song
peace, love, more tolerance
faith, hope trust in the same god in whose
name we die for, take an innocent life for
that’s not what he means
and it doesn’t matter what book you read
