3rd Friday Reggae with Native Elements & Dubcraft

About :

San Francisco powerhouse, Native Elements has been keeping the energetic, feel-good reggae tradition alive in the Bay Area for over 20 years. Comprised of 9 seasoned musicians with decades of experience in rock, metal, blues, jazz and hip-hop, this eclectic and fearless crew fuses their unique influences into a contemporary, melodic, horn-driven party. Each show takes their audience through improvisational peaks and valleys from blazing guitar solos to soaring saxophone wails while also delivering an authentic reggae foundation. Having grown up together since elementary school (playing in garage bands and skateboarding) in Daly City and South City, CA, Native Elements bring a uniquely warm experience to the stage that is both entertaining and uplifting.

About Dubcraft:

Based out of Northern California, Dubcraft does reggae their own way - delivering a unique blend of both vintage and modern sounds that are specifically crafted to catch the listener's ear. Since 2004, founding members Justin Coletti (Vocals/Guitar) & Gerhard Heilmann (Bass) have shared a love for Jamaican-influenced music, playing and performing together under various groups and sharing stages with some of the most prominent reggae artists such as The Abyssinians, Pato Banton, Don Carlos, Lutan Fyah, and more.

In 2018, they joined forces with Chad Edwards (Percussion/Vocals) to begin the Dubcraft journey, putting on complex live-looping performances. They have since brought on Pietro D’amato (Drums) and Gabriel Winter (Keys) and Chris Vail (Lead Guitar/Vocals) to complete the sound.

Influenced heavily by Jamaican and European-based “Rub-a-dub” music, getting the crowd engaged, dancing, and singing along is their primary goal. Incorporating hypnotizing dub sections, catchy melodies, and crowd participation, Dubcraft puts on explosive live performances that always leave the crowd wanting more. Currently performing as a 6-piece band, they are guaranteed to deliver a high-energy, heavy hitting performance every time they hit the stage.$TBD cover at door / Limited early bird advance tickets on Eventbrite.
