The D.C. reggae rockers recorded “Beauty In The Acoustic” while performing a full length Sugarshack Sessions set, and the resulting album showcases SOJA’s songwriting excellence. And I’m not just speaking within the reggae scene - I truly believe SOJA’s latest music is amongst the best songwriting in all of music today!

Song of the Week is back with a super fun, doo-wop inspired reggae song by SOJA featuring HIRIE. The easy listening track is perfect to loop on repeat, with smooth horns and Trevor Young and Jacob Hemphill trading vocals throughout. Read more to stream the track!

FeelFree showcases an amazing sound in the inspirational track “In the Rearview”. The Washington, D.C.-based band has a big time groove, and I love the song’s horns, dub effects, and rad guitar.

The Loving Paupers are releasing beautiful new music blending reggae, dub and rock. The Washington, D.C.-based collective have dropped two singles supporting their upcoming album, which Easy Star Records is releasing.

Now, I am admittedly biased because Wolf Trap is my hometown venue and SOJA is my hometown band, but this Saturday’s show at Wolf Trap is set to be an all time classic. Their first show back in over 4 years, SOJA is bringing Protoje, Jesse Royal, and a special appearance by J Boog to celebrate. Oh and did I mention the venue sits inside a national park….

I recently heard about the talented D.C. reggae band, Nkula and have been enjoying their 2021 EP, “Zion Rock”. If you’re looking for some musical inspiration and to take in some new reggae, you should definitely listen to Nkula!

Washington, D.C.-based artist, Gede has released a groovy new album titled, “Currents” that we have really been enjoying! Gede takes inspiration from multiple genres including rock, reggae, and electronica! We are very impressed with the album, and are totally vibing with Gede’s unique sound.

What sets reggae apart from other musical genres is its deep sense of community embodied by both fans and artists alike. Instead of being fueled by competition, the extended reggae family wants to see one another succeed and become their best selves. Attend a reggae concert and you will find smiling faces and open arms from fellow fans. As a reggae artist one is more likely to find success by helping and collaborating with other artists than trying to outdo them. This methodology of positivity and collaboration is what brought renowned American reggae band SOJA together, and is entirely evident in their new album "Beauty In The Silence".

We have been huge fans of SOJA for many years and whenever the band, stemming from Washington D.C., releases new music we jump at the chance to listen and take it all in. SOJA has been releasing new music all summer leading up to the band’s new album, Beauty In The Silence, which will be released September 24th via ATO Records. The band’s latest single, Reason To Live, is a beautiful song featuring Dirty Heads and Nanpa Básico with an important message about open-hearted perseverance.
