About Rochelle Bradshaw
Rochelle Bradshaw’s story begins in Portland, Jamaica, in a home where music wasn’t just entertainment; it was the pulse of daily life. Her father, Anthony Bradshaw, and her uncle, Devon Bradshaw, both played with the legendary reggae band Burning Spear, and their influence surrounded her from the very beginning. Music was not a career to be chased. It was simply part of the world she was born into.
 
As a child, Rochelle spent countless hours in her uncle Devon’s modest studio in Norwich, quietly absorbing the rhythms, harmonies, and unspoken lessons passed between musicians. She learned that music is as much about listening as it is about performing, and that the soul of a song lies in its truth. Her earliest roles were not in the spotlight but in harmony, blending her voice to support others and helping their stories find wings.
 
Over the years, her quiet dedication led her far beyond what she had imagined. She was invited to tour and record with artists she had admired since childhood, including The Original Wailers, Burning Spear, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Luciano, Damian Marley, and Stephen Marley. These moments were never about fame for Rochelle. They were about learning, honoring the craft, and carrying forward the spirit of the music she grew up with.
 
Now rooted in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Rochelle brings her heritage with her, weaving the soul of Jamaica into every performance. With her band Hypnotion, she creates spaces where audiences feel connected, where songs of unity, self-love, and resilience are offered in both English and Jamaican patois. Her shows are less about performance and more about communion, a shared reminder of the strength found in community.
Her creativity extends beyond music into her work as a cannabis entrepreneur and brand ambassador for The Source Dispensary in Arkansas, where she has developed her own line of products, including Island Time, Hi Tide, and Lo Tide gummies, as well as Island Time vape carts. Just like her music, these ventures reflect her commitment to authentic, mindful living.
 
Her debut album, ISLAND GIRL, created in collaboration with her sister Tamara Bradshaw (UniVerss) and her uncle Devon Bradshaw, is the culmination of years of growth, listening, and love. It is an offering, an invitation for listeners to slow down, be present, and step into a world where heritage, heart, and humanity meet.

Humboldt County, Nor Cal - Favorite Moments of Reggae on the River 2025
As the Media Coordinator for Reggae on the River, I work with our Media Partners for several months prior to the festival. They announce the festival on their radio shows, their socials and websites. They do ticket giveaway campaigns and artist interviews. Many of them even do street promotions (postering and flyering). Then, once they arrive at the festival, they continue working: interviews in the KMUD Press Tent, taking those images we see all year round from the photo pit, and overall networking... all to forward Reggae. Then after the festival, they spend hours editing their photos and writing their reviews. I reached out to some of them and asked if they had an extra minute to share with us what their favorite moment of Reggae on the River 2025 was...and I share their thoughts with you here. Enjoy!
Kaati, Media Coordinator - Reggae on the River
 
~I have been going to Reggae on the River since the late 1990s, so I have stacked up a lifetime of moments, but here is one from 2025 that stands above the rest. It was late afternoon, with golden light pouring over the Eel River. I had just finished a set and was catching my breath, watching the crowd from the side of the stage. The river shimmered, people danced barefoot in the dust, and the unmistakable smell of festival food and sweet herbs hung in the air. Then it happened. The air shifted. The ground seemed to lift beneath my feet, and the bass rolled through the valley like distant thunder waking the hills. The crowd became one massive heartbeat. Strangers locked eyes and laughed like old friends. People swayed, children ran through the grass, the elders nodded in time, and I swear the river itself was moving to the riddim.
 
I felt it all at once. The years, the history, the long drives, friends gained and lost, and the music that has carried me through every chapter of my life. For a moment, nothing else existed. Not bills. Not heartbreak. Not the outside world. Just this perfect collision of sound, soul, and scenery. It was pure Reggae on the River magic, the kind that cannot be planned, cannot be recreated, and only exists if you are right there in it. That is the moment I will carry forever.

~One of my favorite highlights of ROTR was enjoying the musical set of Christopher Ellis, (son to the Godfather of Jamaican Rocksteady, the late Alton Ellis). Chris sang songs like “Here We Are” and “Still go a Dance”, from the Marley Brother’s Ghetto Youth International Label. He also performed Alton Ellis classics like “Willow Tree”, “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do”, “I’m Still In Love With You”, to name a few. Set along the backdrop of the Eel River, fans and festival goers danced and sang songs word-for-word while he performed on the River Stage. For me, having him all the way from the UK, was not only a highlight, but it was surely a favorite moment that gave me a glimpse into Jamaica’s Reggae Royalty and Legacy.  Lady J - 91.9 FM KCSB radio,

~ most spectacular moment was observing Kenyatta Hill channeling his father with his heart wide-open, and then pausing the music, stepping to the edge of the intimate Stay Positive Stage and declaring “am my father’s son.  But I am not my father.”  I literally had goosebumps running up and down my arms.

Anticipated Compilation of Seventies Records Includes Reggae Classics & Great Rare Tracks

“Perry was a prolific reggae singer, producer and studio wizard who reinvented the genre and pushed the boundaries of Jamaican music—he pioneered and expanded the use of the studio as an instrument in itself, which forever changed the sound of music everywhere.” --ROLLING STONE
 
Lee “Scratch” Perry: A genius? A madman? A mystic man? There can be no doubt that he is one of the most consequential figures in the world of music, creator of countless reggae classics, a mentor to Bob Marley, an architect of dub music, and inspiration to musicians around the world ranging from The Clash to the Beastie Boys.
 
Though "Scratch" may have at times seemed crazy, it is worth noting that his often-appointed title as a 'creative genius' appears accurate, as geniuses tend to see things others do not see and inhabit realities unseen.
 
Shanachie Entertainment just released Crucial Cuts From The Heart of the Ark (1973-1978), a special vinyl LP compilation of Perry’s celebrated Black Ark studio recordings, including both reggae classics such as Max Romeo’s “War Ina Babylon” and Junior Murvin’s “Police and Thieves” and wonderful rarities such as “Fisherman Dub” and Carlton & The Shoes “Better Days.”
 
As the music on this album reveals, Lee Perry’s Black Ark creations re-arrange the familiar into something new and magical.
 
Lee Perry a/k/a Scratch, Pipecock Jackson and the Upsetter, was born Hugh Rainford Perry in 1936, growing up poor in a rural parish of Northwest Jamaica. From a young age he was fascinated by music, was a great dancer and attended sound system dances whenever possible.
 
Around 1960 he arrived in the vibrant music scene of Kingston, determined to become a singer. He was taken on by producer Coxsone Dodd as a “handyman,” helping with his Downbeat sound system and studio work. Soon he was pitching songs to Dodd, who was impressed with his clever--sometimes risqué—lyrics, if not Lee’s limited singing voice.
 
In 1963, The Wailers auditioned for Dodd and Lee became involved in helping them shape their music. Soon Lee was able to record and some of his tunes became popular—especially “Chicken Scratch,” which gave rise to his nickname.
 
Over the next few years, he worked for most of all the top producers—Duke Reid, Coxsone Dodd, Joe Gibbs, Clancy Eccles, and Prince Buster—as an A & R person and songwriter, always departing due to lack of remuneration and credit. He often recorded mocking tunes such as “People Funny Boy” directed at his former employers.
 
By 1968 Lee “Scratch” Perry was an independent producer, naming his studio musicians The Upsetters and scoring instrumental hits with innovative rhythms that helped forge the new reggae style.
 
In 1970-1971 he produced what many consider the greatest works by the Wailers; in 1968 one of his Upsetters productions hit #5 on the UK pop chart via Trojan Records and more hits followed. That gave him the funds to build his own studio and in 1973 the legendary Black Ark was born. The equipment at Black Ark was very basic; some musicians marveled that it was not even “professional.”  Yet Lee was able to orchestrate an amazing, powerful sound out of it.

Because of his strong musical sense and commitment to Black culture, Rastafari and creativity, musicians both established and new flocked to Black Ark.  Among the many landmark classics cut at Black Ark are such incisive political commentaries as Max Romeo’s “War Ina Babylon,” and Junior Murvin’s “Police and Thieves” (covered by the Clash). The Congos’ “Heart of the Congos” album is a roots classic and there are many wonderful obscure singles such as Carlton and the Shoes’ “Better Days” and Zap Pow’s “River.”
 
Many dub creations made innovative use of Scratch’s sonic wizardry via echo, phasing, reverb, flanging, wah-wah, and various sound effects. “Crucial Cuts From The Heart of the Ark” is an immersive sound experience that takes the listener into the magical world of Perry’s classic work at Black Ark. The album cover features an iconic photo of Scratch at work in the studio, taken by celebrated photographer Kate Simon, who notes that Scratch liked it so much he had a mural of the photo painted on the studio wall.
 
It all came to an end in 1978 as Lee, besieged by extortionists, freeloaders, religious fanatics, and assorted pilgrims, let the studio lapse and then he set it on fire, some say due to frustration, others say from mental collapse. He left Jamaica, collaborated with musicians around the world, toured as a sort of mystic trickster/shaman and prospered. But Lee “Scratch” Perry’s work at Black Ark will always stand as his ultimate creative achievement.

ABOUT HOLO HOLO MUSIC FESTIVAL
 
Holo Holo Music Festival was born from a love of island and reggae music—a genre deeply rooted in connection, culture, and movement. The festival first set sail in 2022 at Frost Amphitheater at Stanford University, bringing together fans to celebrate the vibrant sounds of the islands. With the spirit of holo holo—meaning "to travel, to sail, to move"—the event quickly expanded, reaching new shores in Las Vegas and Sacramento in 2023. By 2024, its journey continued with a highly anticipated stop in San Diego.
 
Now, in 2025, we’re excited to take Holo Holo even further, bringing the music and community to Oceanside, Las Vegas, Sacramento, Tacoma, and San Diego! As we continue to move and grow, the festival remains a space for connection—where fans can gather for two days of unforgettable performances, incredible food, and the shared love of island and reggae music.
 
For Good Vibez Presents co-owner Dan Sheehan, Holo Holo is more than just a festival—it’s a reflection of his roots. “Growing up in Ewa Beach, O‘ahu, island music and reggae were the soundtracks of my childhood. These styles—the heartbeat of the islands—are the backbone of my work as a festival producer and venue owner. A big part of Good Vibez Presents is about discovery, and I’m honored to showcase and celebrate these artists at Holo Holo Festivals.”
 
For over 25 years, Good Vibez Presents has produced hundreds of immersive, multidimensional concerts and festivals across the West Coast, Hawaii, Arizona, North Carolina, and Mexico. They are the driving force behind the California Roots Music & Arts Festival in Monterey, the largest reggae-rock festival in the country. With a deep commitment to supporting nonprofits, small businesses, and creatives, Good Vibez Presents continues to build events that foster community, uplift artists, and spread positivity.
 
Holo Holo Music Festival is more than just a gathering—it’s a journey. Enjoy a weekend of incredible music and good vibes! Choose the Holo Holo that is right for you!
