Rebelution, as one of the hottest bands on the live music
circuit, did not disappoint! From the moment they took the
stage, you could feel the energy and excitement rise within
the diverse crowd anxiously awaiting this “win to get in”
show. From the pounding rock reggae beat to strobing
lights, you FEEL a Rebelution concert as much as you hear
it, Rebelution is an experience as much as it is a concert and
something not to be missed.
Lucky for us, a young college bass guitar playing baseball
player named Marley D. Williams was walking to choir
practice one night in Santa Barbara, CA when he heard
roots-reggae coming through a door as he passed. Eric
Rachmany, a devotee of roots-reggae and dancehall, was
behind that door! The band solidified when Marley heard
percussionist/drummer Wesley Finley on a big African
drum in a World Music class at the same time he was
befriending keyboardist Rory Carey, forming Rebelution
and a homemade five-song EP radio hit leading to their first
tour. The underground surge of the band’s fan base could
be felt by the “standing room only” crowd on Tuesday night!

Look for the Rock Brothers Brewing Rebelution IPA to hit
stores this summer! Until then, crank up the Rebelution.
You’ll be happy you did.
“Our music is meant to move
people physically and mentally
at the same time. When people
are really dancing and really
thinking, that’s a double threat.”
