According to their website, Rebelution has developed into a front-runner for grassroots, independent and tour driven music groups. Originally formed in 2004, members Eric Rachmany (vocals / guitar), Rory Carey (keyboards), Wesley Finley (drums), and Marley D. Williams (bass) met in college, while residing in Isla Vista, a popular beachside community in Santa Barbara. New Orleans saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist Khris Royal was recently added to the group. It was in Isla Vista that the seeds to Rebelution’s future were planted, creating inspiring and engaging music that would leave their listeners with the sense that they have the power to make this world a better place. The band continuously tours across the USA, have ventured to South America, Guam, Hawaii, Aruba, New Zealand and Europe, and performed at Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits amongst others.

Winter of 2014 will see Rebelution cross the United States on their annual “Winter Greens Tour.” They will then continue around the States on their annual “Spring Greens Tour.” Sold out performances include Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO, the Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa, CA, San Diego’s Open Air Theater, Hard Rock in Orlando, FL, Philly’s The Electric Factory, Hollywood Palladium, Denver’s The Fillmore and The Fox Theatre in Oakland.

The bands third LP, “Peace of Mind”, was released through their own label 87 Music. Marking the highest chart debut of Rebelution’s career, Peace of Mind debuted at #13 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 Reggae and #1 Independent albums as well as #4 on the iTunes overall album chart. Their 2009 release Bright Side of Life debuted at No. 54 on the Top 200 and #1 Reggae. Don’t miss your chance to see Rebelution at the Emerson, April 6. Tickets are available online at www.ticketfly.com or at Cactus Records in downtown Bozeman.
