THE SLACKERS For 32 years, the NYC-based and critically acclaimed Slackers have been touring the world with their blend of Ska, Reggae, and Soul.
Since 1991, the Slackers have released fifteen albums and countless singles, while their 1000s of live performances feed their fans with energetic sets of ecstatic music.
The Slackers have been called ‘the Sound of New York’ by the New York Times. They were described by Brooklyn Vegan as a “clean mix of Ska, Reggae, and Soul that gets dirtied up by Vic Ruggiero’s tough New York accent.’
In April 2022, The Slackers released a new album, “Dont Let The Sunlight Fool Ya” (Pirates Press) which quickly shot to the top of the US Billboard charts. The first time that a Slackers’ album has charted! Ironically after 30 years as a band, they qualified as a Billboard ‘new artist!’ The Washington Post noted that the Slackers “remain at the top of their game.”
The chart topping sales of “Dont Let The Sunlight Fool Ya” capped a 2 year comeback of the Slackers. When Covid stopped live shows in 2020, the Slackers pivoted to livestreams and made 5 full band concerts that were broadcast internationally to an audience of thousands. After the streams, they stayed in the studio and recorded the tunes that became ‘Dont Let the Sunlight Fool Ya.’
Returning to live gigging in the 2nd half of 2021 through to the end of 2022, they have managed to make up all the shows that were postponed from 2020. This included a triumphant European club date tour in October 2022 that included 9 sellout shows, including London’s Underworld.
In 2023, the Slackers are booking 90 concerts in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Latin America. They have announced appearances at festivals such as Punk Rock Bowling, Zwaarte Kross, Rebellion, Punk Rock Holiday with many more to come.
THE FREECOASTERS From humble beginnings late in 2013, The Freecoasters have since performed more than 500 shows, embarked on multiple national and regional tours, and now produced two full-length albums.
The Freecoasters second full-length album, "A Different Kind of Heat" will be released on March 12, 2021. Twelve tracks, plus three digital-only bonus tracks, highlight The Freecoasters unique blend of reggae and American soul.
Like their debut-album, "Show Up," from 2016, "A Different Kind of Heat," was produced by renowned performer and songwriter Jesse Wagner of the Aggrolites.Both albums are available in digital formats, as well as CD and vinyl record, from The Freecoasters' Bandcamp, and at Jump Up Records.

Fun band, great venue. All 5 band members are talented and dead on beat. Claire's voice is powerful yet happy. That music, Point Ybel brews and a active small crowd makes this our regular 1st Sunday of the month place to be.

The Freecoasters Biography
The state of Florida is an estuary of sorts, of both climate and culture: a place where the freshwater-deep-South diffuses seamlessly in to the saltwater-sub-tropics.
And so it's only natural that this estuary of mangroves and mudflats would be the birthplace of The Freecoasters, a band who seamlessly diffuse the rhythm-and-blues musical traditions of the swampy American South in to the steamy, sun-drenched, tropical rhythms of Jamaican rocksteady and reggae.
Founded in 2014, The Freecoasters were designed to be a sort of musical anachronism: a perfect blend of these two musical heritages that never truly overlapped. The sum of these elements is a sound that is vibrant and alive; familiar, but entirely new.
Numerous regional and national tours, 500 shows and two full-length records later, The Freecoasters are hitting their stride and bringing the heat. And shouldn’t they? Because, sure, in the summertime it gets hot everywhere. But down there in Florida, the heat is just a little different.
