 Artist and producer Jon Moon has been cooking up his new body-moving, thought-provoking EP "Live That Life" with his studio partner and renowned reggae artist Ganjaman, and it’s finally ready to be released!
CLICK HERE FOR MUSIC PLATFORM OF YOUR CHOICE
Heavily rooted in Reggae and Dub music, the six songs and three dub/riddim versions showcase his skill as a producer and composer with intricate instrumentals and captivating lyrics...lyrics which give the listener hope, encourages us to be kind and courageous, and to take care of one another...to "Live that Life."
Hope itself is a central theme in Jon Moon’s music and an integral theme of this EP, which is also reflected in the title track, "Live That Life Today". Here, in Moon’s most experimental piece of work to date, he bridges the gap between the current state of living and state of mind, and the ideal, which we strive towards. Inviting us to "Live That Life Today“. While five of the songs have already been released as singles, they've all received a meticulous makeover by Ganjaman and Jon Moon to bring them together into one cohesive musical experience.
The EP "Live That Life" as a whole is a declaration of love to (Roots) Reggae, Dub & conscious music, sometimes said aloud ("Just Like We“), and always felt and heard in the detailed productions, showcasing the genre in all its versatility and beauty. It is Jon Moon’s way of giving thanks and praise, and raising hope."Live That Life" was released on May 31st, 2024 by Yutman Records and is available in all online stores and on Bandcamp.

Black Ice & Junior Toots Release New Single: “Be Thankful”
|
 REGGAE ARTISTS, BLACK ICE & JUNIOR TOOTS RELEASE NEW SINGLE: “BE THANKFUL”
Blending their soulful vocals in a reggae anthem of gratitude for life, reggae singer-songwriters Black Ice and Junior Toots have created a truly uplifting reggae-dub tune with their latest single.
This song of thanks for life’s journey is a testament to their musical prowess and devotion to spreading positivity.
“BE THANKFUL” is an outstanding collaboration between these two well-known reggae artists. In it, they ask us to understand that our lives are precious and priceless and to give thanks for the simple things, such as the air we breathe and the food we eat. These gifts are worth more than silver and gold. The lyrics and the reggae-dub beat make it impossible not to dance and sing along.
“Give thanks for life and all life’s lessons because life is about love, and love is about life.”
~Junior Toots.
“This song is dedicated to the loving memory of Toots Hibbert of Toots and the Maytals. I’ve had the pleasure of opening for him, together with his son, Junior Toots, the featured artist on this single, ““BE THANKFUL.” I will always be grateful for the experiences and love we share.” ~ Black Ice
These Jamaican artists carry on a family legacy that has existed since the birth of reggae music decades ago.
Released earlier in 2024, fans can find it at Distribute Avid or on YouTube, Spotify, Soundcloud, Apple Music, Deezer, Anghami, Line Music, and Tidal.
Check it out and let us know if you agree this song brightens your life and world!

The 35th Installment of the Iconic Reggae on the River Festival Returns to Southern Humboldt County, CA bringing top-notch
international reggae headliners
Three days of reggae music and camping along the South Fork of the Eel River
The 35th installment of Reggae on the River in Northern California returns to the south fork of the Eel River in Southern Humboldt County for three days of reggae, camping and irie vibes. This iconic festival brings together international headlining musical acts August 2-4, plus onsite camping, festival attractions and direct-to-consumer cannabis sales from Humboldt County’s legendary family weed farms.
Held at the beautiful County Line Ranch in Piercy, California, this year’s festival will mark the return of Reggae on the River following a six-year hiatus. Confirmed 2024 headliners include Konshens, Capleton, Anthony B, Collie Buddz, Lila Ike, Stylo G, Demarco, Skarra Mucci, Sister Nancy, plus a late night DJ dance party on the river, and more!
Founded in 1984, Reggae on the River has grown into one of the longest running and most beloved events on the global reggae scene, while always maintaining a “homegrown” community vibe.
Music will run from noon till late night on three stages, including a stage where attendees can listen while swimming in the Eel River.
Beyond the music, this will be the first Reggae on the River held in the age of cannabis legalization, and for the first time will feature an official “cannabis zone” powered by Humboldt’s own Cannifest, where adults can purchase and consume cannabis products direct from the Emerald Triangle’s legendary farmers.
“Humboldt County has long been known for growing the country’s best outdoor, organic cannabis while pushing back against the government’s misguided prohibition against this beneficial plant,” says Christina Augustine, Vice President of the Mateel Community Center. “This year's Reggae on the River is the perfect opportunity for people to come and enjoy our local produce and culture while enjoying world-class music and camping out under the stars.”
A fully family-friendly event (children under 12 admitted free with an adult), Reggae on the River also highlights local food, drinks, crafts, art and vendors. TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE

If you wish (and we really wish you wouldn't) like to be removed from this list, please reply with REMOVE in subject line.
It will make us very sad if you do, and perhaps your removal will be the one the makes us decide this no longer worth doing at all, and all the information we provide will go away forever and musicians will sit home alone at night and cry because they have no one to play for because no one knows about their shows or music.
