For nearly a decade, electronic reggae-dub innovators Jon Wayne and The Pain have been crafting a unique sound, one that features a mesmerizing blend of modern age electronic beats fused with upbeat traditional roots reggae and a fresh layer of grooving funk to keep the soul moving in all the right ways. The Twin Cities-based ensemble burst onto the festival scene in 2007 following their debut self-titled album, and has since built a highly devoted following through multi-dimensional jamming, extensive touring and influential songwriting. Inscrutable and unpredictable, Jon Wayne and The Pain’s cutting edge style has taken them across the nation to some of the country's biggest music festivals including Electric Forest, Summer Camp, Cali Roots and Wakarusa. Their transcendent live performances and fluid chemistry has propelled them to forefront of reggae music, and with an ever-changing musical paradigm it is evident that this Midwestern quartet is an absolute force to be reckoned with.

Omaur Bliss released his self-titled debut in 2005 and has been a prominent artist in the upper Midwest music scene ever since. At the time, Minneapolis Music Journalist Chris Riemschneider described Bliss as the male version of Lauryn Hill due to his soulful singing and rapping talents. Like the different internet applications, Omaur Bliss's music has undergone an evolution. If you had to measure Bliss's evolution as an artist, you can start by comparing internet applications from the first application to what will become 3.0. Intense interaction is what true Bliss fans have grown to expect that from the pure Renaissance man. 

Wookiefoot is a band, a Non-Profit 501C3 Charity Organization (www.bethechangecharities.org), a circus, a philosophy, and a community of globe trekking bliss junkies and believers that are the fuel to keep this Tribadelic Spaceship going. Their charity organization (with the support of their community) has donated over $500,000 to third world relief efforts. Wookiefoot invites their community home every September  when they host and headline their own Global Conscious Gathering called Shangri~La Festival at Harmony Park in Southern MN. 

Wookiefoot’s live sets are an always inspiring and entertaining barrage of sonic and visual stimulation.  The fast paced circus like set has been called “Short Attention Span Musical Theater”.  These live performances are a one of a kind experience that mixes Reggae, World Beat, Hip Hop, Irish, Funk, Folk, Rock & more with a large band featuring everything from a vintage Hammond Organ to Bag Pipes. Combine that with a mind-blowing stage show that may include anything (such as a light show, projection, costumes, fire, dancers, aerialists, magic, clowns, puppets, etc)… and you better buckle up! Welcome… and thank you for riding Wookiefoot!"
