The time has come to start planning your Cali Roots 2023 experience! This year marks the 12th California Roots Music & Art Festival, and if you haven’t yet attended Cali Roots, you have to check it out! Cali Roots is one of the best music festival experiences out there and this year’s lineup is looking so rad!

The fifth annual Lake Tahoe Reggae Festival was held July 24th and our Photo Editor, John Rouse was on the scene to capture the epic day of incredible reggae music! Here are some of our favorite photos from the festival including photos of Dirty Heads, Tribal Seeds, SOJA, and Fortunate Youth!

Cali Roots’ Mexico Sessions 2022 in Puerto Vallarta features an incredible lineup including Steel Pulse, HIRIE, Alborosie, Protoje, Pepper, and J Boog. The unique musical experience is taking place November 2-6, 2022 at Meliá. Cali Roots teamed up with Pollen to plan the festival, and if you love reggae and fun in the sun, this will be the place to be in November!

The weekend is here and what could be more fun than listening to your favorite artists putting their unique spins on the Cali Roots Riddim 2021 produced by Collie Buddz and Johnny Cosmic! The riddim is straight fire and it’s so cool listening to the 26 different artists and their unique takes on the riddim. If you haven’t heard of a riddim before, you can think of it as a beat, or how the hip hop genre defines a beat. Each song takes a different journey. Listen to some of your favorite artists like Iration, New Kingston, KBong, and Artikal Sound System.

In a Facebook post this week, California Roots announced that Fortunate Youth has been added to Roaring Camp Railroads in Felton, California! The band joins an already epic lineup of bands including Tribal Seeds, The Expendables, Iya Terra, and The Movement that will perform during the concert series.

Nattali Rize is partnering with the California Roots Brand to release some new merchandise now available including a One Love Is Action T-shirt and sweatshirt.
