Live Music & Entertainment

	East Of Echo is a bubbling cauldron of styles based in Reggae, embellished with Straight Ahead Jazz, Bluegrass, Blues, and sprinkled with some Country Twang. With a combined work history reaching to the early sixties, this group has explored the less traveled paths of popular music.
The five members, with a combined age of 280 years, an average mental state of 18 years of age, promise a refreshing departure from the stodgy, politically charged times we suffer from today, to a live session of pure artistic musical expression of the Dub style with none of the annoying aftertaste.

Subliminal Trip is a San Diego based reggae band formed in 2008.Founding members Jason Becker (J-bird) and Joel Brust started off playing acoustic guitars in the back of a

pickup truck. J-bird, who sings lead vocals, had by this time already built up a small following of loyal fans and the two performed as an acoustic duo for the first six months of the bands existence. Realizing that options were limited with just two acoustic guitars, Brust recruited Ocean Beach musicians Garrison Cyr and Colin Holz. Cyr would join as the bass player for the band and Holz as the drummer. The foursome have been playing the San Diego scene for a year now and expanding into other cities. On March 19Th 2010 released their first six song demo. Read more: http://www.myspace.com/subliminaltrip#ixzz0ucolw8wq
