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! Eric Rachmany, Guitar 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.” ~ Maury Rory Carey, Keyboard 16
