They rock every crowd they play for, whether it’s to thousands at festivals or hundreds at club gigs and private events (like the wedding of NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s daughter). Thanks to their best-selling tribute album releases, Dub Side of the Moon (2003) and Radiodread (2006), as well as Until That Day (2008), an original EP, the Easy Star All-Stars have built a growing, dedicated fan base throughout the world, bringing together fans of reggae, classic rock, dub and indie rock into one big family. Their newest release, Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band, tackles the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band in complete reggae fashion. Originally formed in 1997, the Easy Star All-Stars existed mostly as a studio entity until releasing Dub Side of the Moon in 2003. The group operates as a collective with a rotating cast of musicians and singers, and was put together by Easy Star co-founders Michael Goldwasser, Eric Smith and Lem Oppenheimer. The members of the Easy Star All-Stars, past and present, read like a who’s who of New York’s reggae, ska, dub and jazz scene, with much of the bands success coming from their ability to maintain a delicate balancing act, making albums that rock fans can embrace, without alienating the notoriously demanding hardcore reggae audience. Don’t miss the Easy Star All-Stars with guests Dubmatix live at The Opera House on Saturday May 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
