Q & A

All-time favorite song?

02.15.19

Brett: "Love and Hate" by Dennis Brown.

How do you describe your music to people?

02.15.19

High energy, progressive, psychedelic dub reggae. We love to play originals that transition into cover songs and jams, then back into other originals. We love improv and the concepts behind free-form art and try to explore those fundamentals in our live performances.

Tell us about how the band formed.

02.15.19

Andrew, Garrett and Brett started jamming in Andrew's garage with an old karaoke machine, a Squier guitar and a cheap drum set from Costco. We sold out our first show after practicing together for a couple months in 2010. Years passed and a few lineup changes occurred to form current day Eazy Dub.
