The Elephant Dub Brigade (EDB) came together in the humble town of Arcata California. Formed by band members Chase Larue (lead vox/guitar), Scott Kranzberg (vox/bass), Daniel Grantz (drums), Joe Welnick (vox/keys) and Tyler Hunt (percussion), these professionally enriched musicians take their roots deep and put out sounds that will tickle your soul. Inspired by diverse influences such as Jimi Hendrix, Black Uhuru, the Abyssinians, Bob Marley, Midnite, James Brown, Katchafire, and The Green this group considers all musical styles when it comes to crafting their sound. With their foundation in reggae, this band unifies their unique sound with all musical styles, tastes and tones suitable for all people of all ages. They have also backed for national artists stretching from the Caribbean to Africa. On their original recordings the group features guest and core members on vocals. Through reggae music, both records and empowering live performances, EDB’s intention is to spread a universal consciousness that is found through all of the experiences, tribulations, and blessings in the world. The Elephant Dub Brigade won’t go left unheard when they bring the brigade to your city! Keep a look out for their debut album in the spring of 2013.
