Based in Southern California, Boom Shaka is keeping roots reggae music alive and well. Founded way back in 1986 by singer/songwriter Trevy Felix, Boom Shaka has developed a serious following over the years. They have toured the world and have released a series of albums since their inception.
Trevy Felix is the lead singer and plays guitar. He is accompanied by his brother Bass-I on bass, Lester Fari on lead guitar, Shaka Man on drums and Little George on keyboards.
Boom Shaka’s music is incredible. They have great lyrics, heavy bass lines, sweet guitar licks and beautiful harmonies. If you thought that all the best reggae music was recorded in the 1970′s, then you haven’t heard this group. Boom Shaka will blow your mind.

n 2001, the legendary, influential and voraciously eclectic band Fishbone arrived to record their newest material at the Hen House, a free community recording studio – fully wired for digital sound and video. The only rule: leave your shoes at the door. What commenced was an in-depth look at a veteran musical group during its sometimes painful reincarnation phase. Primarily thought of as an almost religious experience – the brutally joyous live shows of the band have been long known – what is less understood is the source of this inspired madness.

The band Upstream has five members, three of which are brothers, hailing from the beautiful island of Trinidad. They are Johny on the drums. Dereck on bass, guitar and vocals. And last but not least, Haile on guitar and vocals. Stokely joins the three brothers on bass and vocals as well as John McKnight on keys, guitar, bass and vocals. John, Mr. multi-instrumentalist, was already familiar with the Hen House because he recorded here with Fishbone. But it didn’t take long for the rest of Upstream to get comfortable. And before we knew it, The Hen House was blessed with a few more wonderful songs. Upstream’s music is difficult to categorize. It’s a cross between reggae, rock, metal and funk.
