Shout out to Jeremy Morgan of Highly Decent Photography (and Daily Reggae contributor) for getting these awesome shots of Pepper at this year’s CaliVibes Fest. Catch Pepper live all summer with their 20 Years of Kona Town Tour.

Appreciate the musicianship of Umphrey's McGee by listening to “Staircase”. The Chicago-based band is celebrating 25 years together this year, and although this track is not reggae per see, I think you’ll really dig the vibe and strong message about the importance of belief.

“Proud Of Me” by Queen Ifrica reminds us to celebrate our accomplishments. No matter how big or small they may be, we each have a reason to smile and the Jamaican artist’s song does an amazing job of communicating this. Not to mention that her vocals are top notch!

Today’s Shop feature is The Green. The Hawaiian reggae band’s iconic logo makes a perfect tee, and the white on black is a classic. The Green have some of the best merch in the whole scene so make sure to check out their store as well as The Shop.

SOJA, Stick Figure and Three Legged Fox band members team up in Algorhythm and their first single, “Good Life” is fire. Algorhythm is dropping a single a month ahead of their first album due out this fall, and I could not be more excited to follow along with this awesome project!

Stop time with Italy’s Train To Roots and the band’s single, “Fermare Il Tempo”. Train To Roots is a talented band that lays down a beautiful groove. This song shares an important message of slowing down to enjoy life.

This Song of the Week is “Five Years” by Easy Star All-Stars and Steel Pulse. The third single from their David Bowie cover album Ziggy Stardub, this might be our favorite one yet! While all the tracks have been great, Steel Pulse takes this classic to a new level.

Claire Wright’s “New Day” single ft. Iration is an absolute vibe! Wright and Iration compliment each other so well and I love this track’s guitar work and the singing voice contrast of Wright and Iration’s Micah Pueschel.

Today’s featured item is a major vibe, the Ballyhoo! Jaws Tank. Rocking a Maryland beach rock/retro feel, these tanks are sure to be a huge hit this summer. Btw the boys are busy working on a new album, so keep an eye out for some new music! Head over to The Shop to see more!
