California Roots Music And Arts Festival 2018 | Preview

It's that time again, folks. The one and only California Roots is coming around again, and this year's festival is promised to be the best one yet. Just a decade ago, Cali Roots has come to life in a family reunion of sorts for Reggae fans from near and far. For so many, Cali Roots is more than a few days ago Reggae music, it is a small peek into what life can be in a world with a little less animosity, and a little more love. In the festival's 9th year, they've pulled out all the stops and really committed to making Cali Roots yet.

With the lineup this year so full of Reggae powerhouses, I guess you could say The Bowl (internship) is packed with The Green and Chronixx. Fan favorites from last year such as Iration, Rebelution, and Darenots are coming back to the crowd, while acts like Dispatch and Alpha Blondy are making their Cali Roots debut. With a lineup so full of potential, it can be easy to get lost in all the choices. To help free your mind during the festival, we are looking forward to this year's Cali Roots. We hope you are excited about this lineup as we are.


Brother Ali:

As a passionate socialist, a passionate Social Justice activist, and a general humanitarian, Brother Ali's music has a way of resonating with audiences around the world. His lyrics are consistently raw and from the heart, and strive to break down boundaries and dissolve animosity across platforms. His energy and passion are sure to be fueled by the aura of Cali Roots, and we are eagerly waiting to see him at the stage.


The Original Wailers:

While nothing can bring back Bob Marley, we must have a chance to see some of the musicians who influenced him the most. Comprised of several members of the same group, the band has been actively promoted, and will be stopping by Cali Roots for the last day of the festival. Bob Marley's flame alive even though no one else can never fill his shoes.


Stephen Marley:

Except maybe his son. Stephen Marley is slated to perform during Saturday's festivities, and I doubt many people are complaining about it. The eight time Grammy winner's reputation speaks for itself, but does not hurt its credibility. Channel those roots, Stephen. We'll see you in May.
