Slightly Stoopid’s “Summertime 2023” Tour was one of my all time favorite concerts. I’ve been fortunate to see a lot of live music over the yeas, and I was amazed by the musicianship, energy and sense of community that I felt at the band’s show over the weekend at the FivePoint Amphitheater in Irivine, California.

Iya Terra released their new album, Ease & Grace, and we have been jamming out to it all weekend! Ease & Grace follows up the band’s 2019 album, Coming To Light, and beautifully showcases their incredible reggae riddims, shredding guitars, and songwriting. Ease & Grace features reggae superstars including Steel Pulse, Tribal Seeds, Stick Figure, Mike Love, and Alborosie.
