Combining musical versatility, instrumental prowess, beautiful vocal harmonies and a superb rhythm section, the Easy Star All-Stars have established themselves as one of the top international reggae acts since their live debut in 2003.

They rock every crowd they play for, whether it�s to thousands at festivals or hundreds at club gigs and private events (like the wedding of NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg�s daughter). Thanks to their best-selling tribute album releases, Dub Side of the Moon (2003) and Radiodread (2006), as well as Until That Day (2008), an original EP, the Easy Star All-Stars have built a growing, dedicated fan base throughout the world, bringing together fans of reggae, classic rock, dub and indie rock into one big family.

Their newest release, Easy Star�s Lonely Hearts Dub Band, tackles the Beatles� Sgt. Pepper�s Lonely Hearts Club Band in complete reggae fashion.

Originally formed in 1997, the Easy Star All-Stars existed mostly as a studio entity until releasing Dub Side of the Moon in 2003. The group operates as a collective with a rotating cast of musicians and singers, and was put together by Easy Star co-founders Michael Goldwasser, Eric Smith and Lem Oppenheimer.

The members of the Easy Star All-Stars, past and present, read like a who�s who of New York�s reggae, ska, dub and jazz scene, with much of the bands success coming from their ability to maintain a delicate balancing act, making albums that rock fans can embrace, without alienating the notoriously demanding hardcore reggae audience.

Don�t miss the Easy Star All-Stars with guests Dubmatix live at The Opera House on Saturday May 8.
