MARLON ASHER
Marlon grew up in Enterprise, Trinidad & Tobago. In his youth he was a member of the Mount Ararat Spiritual Baptist Church Choir and later on he embraced the Rasta faith. Marlon Asher is a pioneer of the Trinidadian reggae movement. He has toured with other roots reggae artists such as Sizzla, Slightly Stoopid, Maxi Priest, Beenie Man, Capleton, Fortunate Youth, Pressure Busspipe, Matisyahu, Katchafire, Kottonmouth Kings and even the American R & B Sensation Boyz II Men. Marlon did nine dates on the Slightly Stoopid’s 2019 amphitheater tour. The highlight of this tour was a sold out show at Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado. He has toured the US, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Canada, Africa and Europe. Marlon paved the way for other Trinidad artists such as Jah Melody, Khari K*ll, I-Sasha, Jah Bami and many more.
ERIC COTTON & ONE LOVE BOMB
Since 1986, Eric Cotton has been a powerhouse in California’s music scene, known for his dynamic stage presence, passion for reggae and ska, and unforgettable performances.
In the late '80s and '90s, Eric led Rock Steady Posse, a Central Coast favorite, releasing reggae classics like Rhymin’ and Skankin’ (1990) and Fundamentals (1994).
Eric is also the frontman for The Upside Ska, a high-energy ska band, and The Cheeseballs, San Francisco’s premier show band renowned for their electrifying performances.
Eric’s latest project, Eric Cotton and One Love Bomb, channels his Cali reggae roots with members of Rock Steady Posse, Cardiff Reefers, and Militia of Love. Together with Robert Melendez, Gregg Ichikawa, Efrain Cantu, and Steve Sagrero Eric continues to keep California reggae alive while exploring new horizons.
