With a distinctive sound developed through tireless attention to musicality and artistry, Stick Figure has redefined American reggae music with his latest album, Wisdom, released on September 9th, 2022. As with his previous releases, Wisdom was written, produced and recorded by Scott Woodruff, a self-taught musician, at Stick Figure-owned Great Stone Studios in Oakland, CA, former home of Green Day.
 
Wisdom is Stick Figure’s seventh album and follows the unprecedented success of 2019’s World on Fire, which peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Top 200, #6 overall Top albums, #1 Independent, and #1 Reggae album. World on Fire has sold over 300,000 copies including streaming equivalents, according to Nielsen soundscan data. Stick Figure’s catalog has now sold well over one million copies and been streamed over three billion times. 

Wisdom is a journey and a search for what matters in life–a search for meaning, purpose, place and belonging. Wisdom is a code to live by where we can accept that it is ok to start over, to make mistakes, to love, and to feel pain. It is a reminder to focus on the little things that bring joy and know that all of it is a part of our individual story. It also shows us that we should have some fun doing it all! In signature Stick Figure style, Wisdom can bring peace and happiness in the dark moments as well as in the good times, and the benefits of the music can stay with the listener long after the record has stopped spinning.

Bound by their devotion to a musical agenda that relies on the spirit of collaboration and improvisation, and a social agenda that advocates for the freedom and legalization of marijuana, Slightly Stoopid’s musical melting pot continues to earn the respect of their mentors and peers, inspire countless young musicians, and delight millions of fans.

I first saw The Hooky’s in a packed house at The Metta Room in Port Angeles. Combining all the best elements of groove and funk with their own uniquely soulful and charismatic style; their sound is a reggae butter and rock jam sandwich served up on slices of cognizant hip-hop and “253” alcohol soaked thrash. Think Sublime punk attitude meshed with Pepper’s island pulse, and the epic psychedelic guitar rifts of The Expendables, with a shiny, ripe Rainier cherry on top.

The band is made up of brothers Ben Webb on vocals, Ary Webb on drums, and Corbin Webb on guitar (Sequim, WA), Justin Beasley on guitar, keyboard, and vocals (Eugene, OR), Austin Waszkiewicz on bass (Bremerton, WA) and Joshua Nguyen the Emcee (Auburn, WA). Nguyen rocks the microphone with progressive authority as the show’s energy builds. These guys also 
claim Tacoma as home base since 5/6 live there.

From the second song I knew I was “hooked.” The lively dance floor was full of fans that help makeup “Hooky-Nation”. The sweet music meshed perfectly with the odor drifting in through the rear door leading to the alley. For an hour, this jam-junky achieved complete local music nirvana. - Colin Robinson
