Berkeley, CA - THE MEDITATIONS - September 22 at The Freight
|
 The Freight Presents THE MEDITATIONS
Tuesday, September 22, 2026
Three voices, one of the tightest harmonies reggae has ever produced. Ansel Cridland, Danny Clarke, and Winston Watson, also known as The Meditations, recorded their first hit single, "Woman Is Like a Shadow," in 1974 at Channel One Recording Studio. The group made their mark and cemented their status as reggae legends with the publication of their first two albums, Message From The Meditations and Wake Up.
GET TICKETS HERE
Their harmonies caught the ear of Lee "Scratch" Perry, who brought them in to sing behind Bob Marley on "Punky Reggae Party." Marley loved the sound so much he kept calling them back, for "Rastaman Live Up," "Blackman Redemption," and more. Many say The Meditations were his favorite group. You've heard them elsewhere too, behind Jimmy Cliff on "Bongo Man Youths Them A Cry" and Gregory Isaacs on "Mr. Cop."
Ansel has carried the sound forward ever since producing Guidance, singing every lead on 1983's No More Friends, reuniting the group for Return of the Meditations (1993), and releasing Ghetto Knowledge (1999), Stand In Love (2004), and Dangerous Society (2011) with the late Philip Smart.
Ansel is a committed musician who writes, produces, and releases albums while also traveling with DaddyLion Chandell and Toussaint Webb on harmony.
The album The Meditations & Friends—Smile Again was released in 2021. Their latest album,
Live It to Know It, was released in spring of 2025.

Sgt. Remo Reaches New Heights with ELVTD (Elevated) — His Most Complete Album to Date
|
 SAN ANTONIO, Texas — August 2026 — After years of building bridges between reggae communities across Texas, Latin America, and Jamaica, international reggae artist Sgt. Remo enters a new chapter with ELVTD (Elevated), his seventh studio album.
Listen On Your Favorite Platform
More than an album title, ELVTD represents the artistic growth behind the project. Crafted as Sgt. Remo's most focused and intentional release to date, the 13-track album blends roots reggae, classic dancehall, and soulful reggae into a carefully sequenced listening experience that reflects both his musical evolution and his expanding international collaborations.
Released through King Remo Music, ELVTD brings together artists and producers from Jamaica, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States, continuing Sgt. Remo's mission of connecting reggae communities across borders while staying rooted in authentic Jamaican music.
"This is a special album for me. It's my seventh album and the most complete body of work up to now. I've released a lot of music through the years, but this one is different. I'm here. I've arrived. My flag is planted firmly. I'm not going anywhere. I am reggae music. From Texas, to the whole world."
The album features an international lineup of guest artists including Jamaican reggae veterans Chezidek, Ranking Joe, and General Smiley; Junior Dread from Brazil; UK reggae great Gappy Ranks; Dre Z Melodi of New Mexico; Chilean artist Oskart; and Kroywen.
Production is equally international. Much of the album was produced by Kutral Dub (Chile), alongside contributions from True Move International (Colombia), Wadadah II (United States), GY2MX (United States), and Nasasoid (Colombia), creating a rich sound that honors classic reggae traditions while embracing modern production.
Track Listing
Reggae Music a Play (feat. Chezidek); Keep It Steady; Nunca Pares (feat. Junior Dread); So Civilized (feat. Kroywen); Hard Working People (feat. Gappy Ranks); Vibes So Nice (Album Mix); Love Is the Highest Power (feat. Dre Z Melodi); Sista Ganja; I Like It (feat. Ranking Joe); Irie Feeling (feat. General Smiley)
Federales (feat. Oskart); That Day; Hold Your Hand
ELVTD was conceived as a complete listening experience. The album begins with conscious roots reggae before transitioning into a vibrant run of classic dancehall and rub-a-dub. It concludes with two heartfelt love songs, creating a musical journey that rewards listeners who experience the record from beginning to end.
The release arrives after one of the most productive periods of Sgt. Remo's career. Over the past two years, he has expanded his international presence through collaborations with artists and producers across the Americas and Europe, performed throughout Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Jamaica, and the United States, released multiple acclaimed projects, recorded new music in Kingston, Jamaica, produced the documentary short Texas Rockers, and continued growing King Remo Music into a platform that connects reggae artists from around the world. ELVTD stands as the culmination of that momentum.
While proudly representing San Antonio, Texas, Sgt. Remo continues to build a career that extends far beyond his hometown. Through music, collaboration, and cultural exchange, he has become one of the leading independent artists connecting the Texas reggae scene with the global reggae movement.
ELVTD (Elevated) is available worldwide on all major digital streaming platforms.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE: Berkeley, CA Steel Pulse - December 31, 2026 - The UC Theatre
|
 Steel Pulse - Reggae Against Racism Tour
Bearing witness to the accelerating negativity of global affairs, Steel Pulse emerges with musical vengeance to halt the disarray of humanity. The band's twelfth studio production, titled Mass Manipulation, reflects four decades committed to bettering mankind through music.
Steel Pulse continues to be revolutionary in engaging controversial topics of racial injustice and human rights on a global scale. Their musical stance and conceptualizations are as potent and relevant today as they were at the beginning of their career. The album’s uniquely thematic approach provokes thought as it presses forward, toward humanities unification.
A manipulation of our minds has been influenced by a New World Order currently dominating humankind. Steel Pulse reappears at a fated moment, armed with compassion, encouraging all people to reject false ideals, set higher goals, and demand more from themselves to further this unification.

Arcata, CA - CANNIFEST 2026 - September 12 & 13 - The Humboldt Weekend Where Music, Culture, and Community Collide - Melvin Seals & JGB, Sister Carol, Brett McFarland, more...
|
 Some festivals chase trends. Others create moments that linger long after the final encore. Cannifest 2026 belongs firmly in the second category. On September 12 and 13, the historic Arcata Ballpark will transform into the beating heart of Humboldt County, where four stages of music, local art, independent makers, and one of California's most distinctive communities come together for a weekend that feels equal parts concert, street fair, and cultural homecoming.
Forget endless asphalt parking lots and corporate branding stretched across every fence. Cannifest is rooted in place. The towering redwoods are just down the road.The Pacific Ocean isn't far beyond them.And everywhere you look, Humboldt's fiercely independent spirit shapes the experience—from the musicians taking the stage to the artists hanging their work and the farmers sharing the harvest that has defined this region for generations.
This all-ages event really centers on creating a safe space for multiple generations to relax and enjoy—or get involved in the many activations in the Family Interactive Zone (FIZ). Face painters, Tie dye workshops, Hula Hoop making activities,Art Projects and so much more! The music, naturally, is the centerpiece With top-tier production stages running throughout the weekend, Cannifest creates the kind of musical journey that rewards curiosity. One minute you're caught in front of a powerhouse headlining set.
The next you're discovering a local band that somehow hasn't exploded beyond Northern California yet. Instead of funneling everyone toward one moment, Cannifest invites festival-goers to build their own soundtrack. It's a reminder of what music festivals used to feel like before algorithms started deciding what everyone should hear. Then there's Arcata.
In an era when many festivals require shuttle schedules, rideshare apps, and strategic parking plans, Arcata offers something refreshingly simple: you can walk almost everywhere. The city is compact, vibrant, and built for wandering.Downtown radiates and the fest is just half a block away from the historic Arcata Plaza, where independent cafés, record stores, bookstores, breweries, vintage shops, and locally owned restaurants create an atmosphere that's more neighborhood than tourist destination. That walkability changes everything. Wake up, grab breakfast at a local café, browse a record store, stroll through the Plaza, and make your way to the festival without ever climbing behind the wheel. After the last encore, the night doesn't abruptly end in a sea of traffic.
Instead, it spills naturally back into town, where conversations continue over walks to the afterparty. It's the kind of festival experience that's becoming increasingly rare.Cannifest also refuses to separate music from the community that surrounds it. Makers, artists, educators, farmers, and local businesses are woven into the weekend rather than pushed to the sidelines. The result feels less like a touring event dropped into a city and more like Humboldt opening its front door and inviting everyone inside. That authenticity is impossible to manufacture. For decades,Humboldt County has occupied a mythical place in California's cultural imagination—a landscape of ancient redwoods, rugged coastline, sustainable farms, creative independence, and people determinedto do things their own way.
Cannifest channels that same energy. It's ambitious without feeling overproduced, expansive, without losing its local soul. Guests from all around the world are set to fly into the ACV airport, or climb the Cali coast in tour buses to share their knowledge, create content, taste the delicious local food and beverages and cultivate a true sense of human connection. As festival culture continues to evolve, events like Cannifest remind us why people gather around live music in the first place.
It's not just about the lineup. It's about the conversations between sets.The unexpected discoveries.The places you explore.The strangers who become friends by the end of the night. Cannifest 2026 promises all of that—and something even harder to find:a genuine sense of place. For one weekend in September, Arcata won't simply host a music festival. It will become one. Leading the charge is Melvin Seals & JGB, bringing the enduring spirit of the Jerry Garcia Band to Humboldt with the soulful Hammond grooves and improvisational fire that have made Seals a jam-scene legend. Joining them is Sister Carol, the Grammy-nominated reggae icon whose commanding voice and conscious lyrics have made her one of the genre's most respected performers.

For over 15 years, The Green has been a cornerstone of the reggae music scene, seamlessly blending island roots with global appeal. Based in Hawaii, the band has become one of the most beloved and influential acts to emerge from the islands, pioneering U.S. mainland tours and sharing stages with reggae legends like Rebelution, Iration, SOJA, and Jamaica’s own Damian Marley. Their widespread acclaim caught the attention of Grammy-winning superstar Bruno Mars, who invited them to open for his sold-out shows at Honolulu’s Blaisdell Arena in 2014 and Hawaii’s iconic Aloha Stadium in 2018.
With themes of family, resilience, and unity woven into their music, The Green has cultivated a devoted global fanbase. Classics like "All I Need," "Love I," and "Wake Up" continue to resonate with long-time listeners, while collaborations with artists such as J Boog on tracks like "Feelings," "Never Give Up," and "Fire up Di Roses" draw in new audiences. Their recent single,Day by Day, featuring fellow Hawaii artist Kolohe Kai, celebrates the Aloha spirit and furthers their mission of spreading positivity.
