There are so many iconic horn lines in reggae that it was hard to pick only five for this list. But based on my personal experience playing with Soul Syndicate and getting to perform alongside incredible artists like Don Carlos, Wailing Souls, and Sister Nancy and many other reggae superstars, here are my choices for five classic horn lines that every reggae fan should know.

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.

Take a trip along “The Scenic Route” with Glenn Holdaway and Liam Robertson. I am absolutely loving this single’s funk and all around vibe! Holdaway is one of the most talented trumpet players on the reggae scene today. Daily Reggae asked about the song’s reggae influence and he gave a legendary response!

It’s always fun to hear a new rendition of one of our favorite reggae classics! Stick Figure and Johnny Cosmic have teamed up to bring an irie, dub-infused version of Bob Marley’s song Sun Is Shining to life.

Looking for a way to start your week with some good vibes? Check out Joey Calderaio’s catchy new song, Paradise, featuring Sierra Lane. We are loving the song’s reggae riddim and positive message! This is the first collaboration between Joey and Sierra and it has us wanting more music soon!
