Luma Knotty is a WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) Award-winning Green Bay band known for their original blend of guitar-driven funk, rock, and reggae. Founded in 2017 by guitarist Ryan Patrick with the idea to fuse his musical roots in blues and funk rock with his training from McNally Smith College of Music and his years of experience in roots reggae. While writing original music/lyrics, Ryan wanted to create a more modern approach to reggae, setting the vibe using vibrant stage designs. Luma Knotty was awarded the 2019 WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) Award in the World/ Reggae/ Ska/ Latin category. Their first EP ‘Sounds of Earth’ was released in February 2020 and their newest album 'Bring the Light' was released on January 30, 2023 and is available on all streaming platforms.
