Iration is teaming with Pepper in the nationwide “Daytrippin In Paradise” Summer Tour 2024, and we cannot wait! The reggae rockers are also bringing along DENM and Artikal Sound System for the fun, and these shows will brighten your summer without a doubt!

The three-piece band of Kona Town reggae-rockers known as Pepper has recently delivered a healthy new EP, Makai, via LAW Records for our listening pleasure (and a pleasure it is).

Congratulations to Stick Figure’s “Wisdom Tour” for being named the 2023 Daily Reggae Tour of the Year! The reggae rockers followed up their epic 2022 “Wisdom” album with an incredible national run with Pepper and The Elovaters and proved once again they are one of the most talented bands in the world!

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!

2023 was a massive year for live music and let’s be honest, it’s hard to beat a reggae concert! Reggae artists and bands toured the world playing to both sold out venues and new growing fan bases. Here are five national reggae tours that stood out to us in 2023.

Slightly Stoopid is back and they brought their friends Stick Figure and Pepper! The legends came together for the new song ‘Got Me On The Run’. The track immediately draws you in with a classic Stoopid horn line and riddim, and the catchy flow is made that much better by the appearances by Stick and Pepper.

Jam out to our Song of the Week, ‘Stay High"‘ by Pepper. This track has such a soulful sound, and blends old school and new school reggae! Totally hear this one around the camp fire on acoustic! It was Produced by Johnny Cosmic of Stick Figure. Stream now!

Book a trip to the Sierra Nevada Foothills for an epic weekend of reggae at the Dry Diggings Festival. This year’s festival, which runs August 25-27, has an amazing lineup including headliners Ky-Mani Marley, Dirty Heads, and Slightly Stoopid.

Avila Beach’s Alta Music Festival featuring fan favorites like Dirty Heads and Sublime with Rome looks so fun! The Good Vibez Presents team always puts on rad events, and this two day festival running September 23-24 is going to rock!

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!

Cruise to the beach while jamming along with Pepper’s “Get Me Ready (Aloha Remix)”. I love the smooth keys and drum pattern in this jamming Pepper remix. It’s cool listening to this version and then taking in the original, which dropped earlier this year!

No matter where you live, it's clear that summer is upon us and the music scene is in full swing. Santa Cruz’s, The Expendables, decided to participate in the sizzling “summer release” program with their newest addition, “Pleasure Point” via Ineffable Records.

This weekend’s Reggae Rise Up Maryland is going to bring so many positive vibes! The three day music festival features fan favorites like Rebelution, Pepper, Stick Figure, Koffee, Iration, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, Citizen Cope, and those are only the headliners!

The Expendables and Pepper’s Bret Bollinger have teamed up in the jam, “Do Me”. This isone of my favorite reggae rock singles of the year, and has me some pumped the band’s new album coming out soon!

The Daily Reggae Song of the Week is Pepper’s newest single “Get Me Ready”. It’s a beautiful, laid back reggae tune, perfect for Sunday morning. The track was co-written with Tim Armstrong of Rancid and Kevin Bivona of The Interrupters and punk fans will surely recognize the influence. This amazing collab was released by LAW Records, and hopefully we see more to come!

While every great festival must come to an end, and although we have reached the final day of Cali Vibes 2023, I still had a full day of great artists ready to please the ears of thousands awaiting me.

Lake Tahoe and reggae? What could be better?! The time is here to grab your tickets to the 2023 Lake Tahoe Reggae Festival featuring Rebelution and Stick Figure. The two-day festival falls on July 22nd and 23rd this year and the lineup looks incredible!

Stick Figure’s 2022 “Wisdom” album was one of my favorite reggae albums of the year, and it’s so exciting to see that the reggae rockers have dropped tour dates for the “Wisdom Tour” featuring Pepper and The Elovaters! These shows are going to be so chill and fun!
