In need of some good vibes? You’re in luck.
As part of their “Good Vibes Summer Tour,” Reggae-rock band Rebelution plays Eugene’s Cuthbert Amphitheater this month.
With seven albums to their credit, the ever popular four-member band from Isla Vista, California, are adored by fans for their positive lyrics, smooth Jamaican sound and artful arrangements.
“Falling into Place” – their fifth release – was a beautifully produced Reggae-rock album that helped some fans recover from their 2016 election blues.
“Free Rein” – released last year – “really came from the heart,” according to Eric Rachmany, the band’s lead singer. Rebelution’s popularity is largely credited to Rachmany’s vocals and musical finesse. According to the band’s website, songs from “Falling into Place” were partly influenced by Rachmany’s “inspirational trip to Jamaica,” where he did some of the writing.
From that album, standout tracks included the colossal “Know It All” and the gently powerful “Breakdown.”
Here’s the band performing live at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles:
