SUB-TRIBE to spice up event
DUB-FUSION act SUB-TRIBE will fulfill a lifelong dream this weekend as they take the stage at the Kuranda Roots Festival this weekend as one of the headline acts.
Established six years ago, the seven group band uses a combination of guitar, drums, keys, vocals and even three piece horns to create a blend of roots reggae music and electronic fusion.
The group includes elements of jazz, soul, RnB vocals and bluesy guitar to produce a unique sound inspired by Fat Freddy’s Drop from New Zealand.
Lead vocalist Ray Nolan has dreamed of playing at the Kuranda Roots Festival for years and was ecstatic when he found out SUB-TRIBE would be headlining.
“I’ve always wanted to get up there, we got invited a couple of months ago and all of a sudden we are headlining which is amazing,” he said.
“It is a massive honour, I have wanted to attend this festival for a long time and there are some amazing acts that have headlined before and to be one of them now is pretty amazing.
“People can expect a fusion of all elements of reggae and roots music, there is something for everyone.”
The Kuranda Roots Festival kicks off this Friday at Emerald Creek Falls and will run until Sunday bringing people some of the best reggae and roots music Australia has to offer.
