Description
Dale and the ZDubs:
In early 2024, a seismic lineup shift occurred. Snail selected a new prolific cast of players hailing from up and down the East Coast, and plugged them into the nationally touring act. The new Zebra blood includes multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Mark King (bass and harmonies), formerly of The Elovaters (Pembroke, MA), and groove specialist Ethan Jones aka “The Marine” (drums and vocals), formerly of The Orange Constant (Athens, GA). The newest piece to DZD’s sound and style is Josh Boyd (lead guitar) out of Wilmington, NC. Joshy is a rare talent who brings both a heavier rock and jam-influenced element to the live performance. These new ZDubs have invigorated DZD’s classic sound, but with upgraded energy and bravado. “We’ve toured the country with Snail and the Zebras. Their live show has what I call, ‘the sauce,’ and it may be too spicy for some,” said Jackson Hauserman, lead guitarist of Kash’d Out.
DZD’s obsession with performing live keeps the wheels on the tour van turning across the country. DZD has recently shared the stage with the likes of Sublime with Rome, Andy Frasco, Little Stranger, Kash’d Out, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Joe Samba, and Artikal Sound System. High-energy live shows feature vocal harmonies, thick guitar-driven melodies, and fat rhythm section based grooves. And sometimes Snail gets a little crazy on stage too.
Sons of Paradise:
Sons of Paradise is a reggae-rock band proudly hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina. Founded by high school friends Matt McClanahan (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Jordan Gee (keyboards), Sons of Paradise has risen to playing headlining venues across the country as well as supporting artists such as The Elovaters, Tropidelic, Bumpin Uglies, Inner Circle, Beres Hammond, and many more.
Additionally Sons of Paradise has delighted fans at festivals including Reggae Rise Up Vegas and Reggae Rise Up Florida. Joined in 2023 by Joe Conroy (lead guitar) and Storm Adams (drums), and in 2024-2025 by Matt Corey (sax) and Donny Sill (bass), Sons of Paradise has its best lineup yet.
Sons of Paradise's sound is hard to confine to one genre. An eclectic blend of powerful lyricism with playful hooks, elements of driving yet smooth lead guitar, complemented by melodic keyboard and organ, Sons of Paradise's songs continue to push the boundaries of what might be considered "strictly reggae." However don't be fooled, the reggae style in Sons of Paradise comes through beautifully with roots style drum and bass mixed with traditional reggae guitar and keyboard, creating well balanced crave worthy songs that you'll want to listen to over and over again.
The Pocket Band is an international reggae rock band with a unique island sound. Soulful singer Omar Teitelbaum writes original music that is Jamaica tested and crowd approved. The group has an amazing presence when playing live and they really connect with the audience.
Produced by an A-List team, including Chucky Thompson (Biggie, Nas), Queen Cora Coleman (Prince) and Kirk Bennett (Etana, Elephant Man), The Pocket Band has hit songs that are currently on Irie FM in Jamaica and other major radio stations. They have opened for many major acts from Sean Paul to Nora Jones and are excited to entertain music lovers around the world.
