What the Nation Needs! Food in their belly, Sense in their head and Jah on their minds.
Let our lord now command thy servants,
before thee,
to seek out a man,
a skillful player on an harp:
and it shall come to pass,
when the evil spirit from God is upon thee,
that he shall play with his hand,
and thou shalt be well.

In the first act they performed a rousing rendition of Marley’s “Stir it Up,” giving it a unique feel with the addition of an outstanding three part vocal harmony. The vocal range and abilities of the group highlighted the night. They followed with notable takes on band staples such as “Herbalist” and “I See the Light.” The sound ranged from dance hall to dub while also incorporating elements of hip-hop and rock. The crowd danced into the wee hours as if in the middle of summertime in Jamaica. – The Arbiter, Boise, Idaho
