Roots of Creation: Grateful Dub
Billboard and radio chart topping, award-winning, international reggae-rock sensation
Roots of Creation, are a touring powerhouse.
Whether on the festival circuit, performing at jam and reggae-rock favorites like
Camp Bisco,
Gathering of The Vibes,
California Roots,
Jungle Jam and
Closer to the Sun, or
sharing the stage at sold out shows with some of their diverse influences including
Slightly Stoopid,
The Wailers, and
Michael Franti, reggae/rock/dubtronica
band Roots of Creation (RoC)
offers up a high-energy, infectious live music experience. Their mix of reggae riddims, conscious lyrics, spirited horn lines, and electronic beats makes crowds move and has their loyal underground fan base (RoC Family) and street team (Universal Soldiers)
travelling the distance to pack venues from coast-to-coast.
Roots of Creation’s most recent release,
Livin Free (2016), debuted No. 1 on both the Billboard Reggae and the Relix/Jambands.com Radio charts.
Livin Free
is a triple record that includes three versions of each song–studio, dub, and acoustic that features guest performances by Melvin
Seals (Jerry Garcia Band),
Marshall “Ras MG” Goodman
(Sublime, Long Beach Dub Allstars), the Rubblebucket horn
section, Billy Kottage (Reel
Big Fish), Grammy-nominated Pato Banton (Sting,
UB40), and
others. Additionally, the album welcomes guest production by Yeti
Beats (Rebelution, Slightly Stoopid).
Now RoC has taken on a unique new project:
Grateful Dub. Combining
their longtime love for reggae-dub style music and the Grateful Dead, RoC reworked some of the world’s favorite Dead tunes into a new studio album.
RoC had the pleasure of working in the studio with the legendary 5-time Grammy winner
Errol Brown
who was Bob Marley’s engineer and now Rebelution’s live sound engineer for this project.
Grateful Dub
is also being performed live in its entirety at festivals, theatres, and clubs around the country, and features rotating special guests including Melvin Seals (JGB),
Scott Guberman
(Phil Lesh) full horn sections, and others. Grateful Dub captures the spirit and magic of the Grateful Dead, while laying it down reggae-dub style.
