We’re back for a jam packed day 2 of Cali Vibes 2024! Jeremy Morgan (Highly Decent Photography) captured some amazing shots of Gwen Stefani, Slightly Stoopid, Wiz Khalifa, KBong and Johnny Cosmic, Little Stranger, Claire Wright, and The Pharcyde. Check it out now!

KBong and Johnny Cosmic’s “Mountain High Spring Tour” will bring so many positive vibes. When not touring nationwide with Stick Figure, the talented singer-songwriters team and write gorgeous music connecting reggae, rock, and pop and their energy for life is so inspiring!

As we’ve been discussing, reggae is making major waves around the globe and reggae music is inspiring people in a major way while pollinating across genres. Here is our list of the top producers bringing beautiful reggae music to life in 2023!

Find new inspiration and perspective with Stick Figure’s “Paradise (Universal Sound Version)”. This is such a gorgeous song and hearing the fan favorite track in an acoustic form highlights the genius of Scott Woodruff as a songwriter and musical visionary.

Stick Figure puts a rad reggae twist on Green Day classic “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”. The single released by Ineffable Records is another gem of the “Pop Punk Goes Reggae Vol. 1” album produced by Iya Terra’s Nathan Aurora.

Accept new energy into your world by singing along to Brendan Clemente’s “Good Good Morning” ft. KBong. The track produced by Johnny Cosmic is very peaceful and I love the harmonies. 

See your favorite bands like Pepper, Tribal Seeds, Fortunate Youth and HIRIE in San Diego at Mission Bayfest 2023. The two day festival is running September 29th and 30th and has a stellar lineup!

Feel chill vibes year round with Vana Liya’s new single, “Summer Soul”, which was dropped in the perfect time to mellow us out all summer long! The talented singer-songwriter teamed up with Johnny Cosmic on the track’s production, and LAW Records released the song.

There are certain bands that when you hear their song come on, you know you are going to have an epic day. Usually they are trend setters and veterans of honing and perfecting their craft. Enter Stick Figure. The reggae rock band consistently releases brilliant reggae rock and their latest album, “Wisdom” is another reminder that Stick Figure is out of this world talented.

The time is almost here and I’m so excited! Stick Figure’s new album “Wisdom” will be released in one week on September 9, 2022. Over the years Stick Figure has risen to reggae superstardom and the band deserves all the accolades and more! When I listen to Stick Figure, I’m transported into such a beautiful place. Scott Woodruff and band members including KBong and Johnny Cosmic always bring the good vibes and their reggae riddims are legendary.

Tropidelic released an amazing new album today titled, “All The Colors”. Look out for our review soon! We spoke with Tropidelic frontman, Matthew Roads to learn about the album’s creation, the band’s live shows, and collaboration with artists like Iration, Michael Franti, The Expendables, Little Stranger, 311, KBong, and Johnny Cosmic.

HIRIE has released tour dates for the upcoming national “Mood Swing” tour, which will feature special guests Ballyhoo!, KBong & Johnny Cosmic, Surfer Girl, and Vana Liya on select dates. The tour kicks off in California on October 5 following the release of HIRIE’s “Mood Swing” album dropping September 30. We are SO excited for this tour and to listen to HIRIE’s latest studio album!

It's a new year, and as the world has made significant steps in reopening since the 2020 pandemic, that means there are new reggae tours that we are extremely excited about! Here are some of your favorite artists that will be on tour this spring!

As the week kicks off, take some time to slow down and enjoy listening to Brendan Clemente’s new single, Later In June. Clemente teams up with Johnny Cosmic in this gem of a song featuring mellow lyrics and vocals that will really get you thinking. Released by Ineffable Records, you have to soak up Later In June’s solid guitar work and thought-provoking lyrics.

We are absolutely loving the Bumpin Uglies new single, Slow Burn, featuring SOJA’s Jacob Hemphill. The song released by Ineffable Records and produced by Johnny Cosmic highlights a beautiful message and has such a cool reggae-rock sound.

New York native Vana Liya has released her debut album "Little Kahuna" on LAW Records! Vana began making a splash in the reggae scene by posting covers of songs by Pepper, Rebelution, and Stick Figure that subsequently went viral and were shared on the bands' social media accounts. Since then she's been putting out wonderful singles, opening up for major reggae acts and performing at the one and only Sugarshack Sessions.

Boston band The Elovaters have been the rising star of the American Reggae scene for the past couple of years, a status well deserved with their professional-grade musicianship, quality songwriting, and consistent touring opening for major acts such as Pepper and Ziggy Marley that led to headlining tours of their own for their ever-growing fanbase. With all this said, it's in their new album Castles that we see the band truly coming into their own and delivering an album showcasing a broad and unique sound that will surely lock in their place as major players in modern American Reggae music.

It’s always fun to hear a new rendition of one of our favorite reggae classics! Stick Figure and Johnny Cosmic have teamed up to bring an irie, dub-infused version of Bob Marley’s song Sun Is Shining to life.

Ahead of their new album, Castles, which drops August 13, Boston-based reggae band, The Elovaters released Gardenia featuring Stick Figure. Gardenia is a really awesome song with an irie bass line and such a cool vibe! Wake up this morning by jamming to the single, which according to The Elovaters’ Facebook page was co-written with Stick Figure’s Scott Woodruff and frequent Stick Figure collaborator, TJ O'Neill.

As we soak up the weekend vibes, turn on Brendan Clemente’s chill new song, All Love, produced by Johnny Cosmic. The song is super mellow, features awesome acoustic guitar, and showcases Brendan’s smooth vocals.
