Formed in 2017, Rastacoustic is a captivating reggae group combining traditional roots reggae with their own distinctive style. The band’s eclectic influences range from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, creating a one-of-a-kind musical experience. Rastacoustic’s four well-seasoned musicians include Peter Brown (Keys, Guitar, Vocals), Justin Butler (Guitar, Vocals), Kevin Freeman (Bass), and Shawn Roberts (Drums, Percussion), who have performed all across America, Canada, and Japan. Frequent guests include Jimmie Griffith, Tate Rawl, Jeff Dickens, and Lucas Moomaw. A charismatic ensemble, the band plays a mix of classic reggae songs (Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Steel Pulse, etc.), upbeat positive originals, and a number of familiar covers ranging from Grateful Dead and Beastie Boys to The Beatles and Cypress Hill. They also cover various 80s tunes. Every show is one drop, hip-hop, and rock-steady fun.
Rastacoustic has been featured on PBS's North Carolina Weekend, Reggae Nights Summer Concert Series (James Island, SC) Valle Crucis Summer Concert Series (Valle Crucis, NC), The Jones House Summer Concert Series (Boone, NC), Historic Morganton Festival (Morganton, NC), Music on Main Concert Series (Sparta, NC), and the Caldwell Arts Council 34th and 36th Annual Sculpture Festival (Lenoir, NC).
Rastacoustic’s music is available on all streaming platforms through Boom One Records.
