PEPPER ANNOUNCE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES 2023

Originally formed by musicians and childhood friends Kaleo Wassman and Bret Bollinger, Pepper kicked into existence in 1996 as a Hawaii based answer to popular reggae beach rock acts such as Sublime. The duo steadily built up a musical foundation as they laid the stages for the Pepper music phenomenon, with the group eventually adding percussionist Yesod Williams to complete their core lineup. The band would soon outgrow the confines of Hawaii's musical scene, and departed for San Diego to perform alongside acts such as Shaggy and Burning Spear, with their sound eventually catching the eyes and ears of executives at the Los Angeles based label Volcom Entertainment. Pepper dropped their debut full length in 2000, and the rest is musical history as the boys have been on a non stop upward trajectory ever since, taking the modern reggae rock by storm with each and every new release of tour announcement.

Pepper would officially elevate themselves into the mainstream as they chugged through the 00s, releasing a series of well received albums and touring alongside some of the biggest names in the modern reggae and hip hop rock scene, from 311 and Slightly Stoopid to Snoop Dogg. The band's work ethic would see them put out a new album every two years for most of the 00s, with the Pepper discography now consisting of six full length albums, two EPs, and one unforgettable live album.
