The band play homage to the greatest Reggae artists from the 60's, 70's and 80's (and some more recent artists too). From Marley to UB40; Toots and the Maytals to Desmond Decker, the bands set is all encompassing. Also included are a few hidden gems that are lovingly polished up and revealed so that audiences can experience the diversity of the genre in all of its glory.
The seed of rock was sown in the sands of a Bahamian beach in the year 2000. Some years later a band called Resonation was formed and along the journey they rocked and reggae'd their way around major UK festivals and recorded the album "Impropaganda". Over the years Resonation evolved into the group of musicians you see today and also perform as the Roots Rock Reggae Tribute to the Legends Show. Its the music we love and we are keeping the amazing music alive and live.
Authentic Reggae band covering ALL of the legends of Reggae - its the live equivalent to a full greatest hits compilation CD. The lead singer was born in the same Jamaican hills as Bob Marley, Burning Spear and Marcus Garvey and adds a truly authentic tone to a amazingly tight reggae band.
