SUMMARY:Kash'd Out w. SensaMotion
DESCRIPTION:High energy vibes and bumpin’ grooves hit The Sanctuary in June when we present Kash’d Out with SensaMotion! \nFlorida based Reggae/Rock band Kash’d Out have been hustlin’ hard since the beginning. After founders Greg Shields (lead vocals) and Jackson Hauserman (guitar) met in a studio session\, it wasn’t long before Kash’d Out’s clever lyrics and tasteful guitar riffs were complemented by the unique bass lines of Joey Brohawn and the rhythmic precision of drummer Marshall Hearne. \nKash’d Out quickly caught the attention of Hawaiian favorites Pepper\, who signed the band to their label LAW Records and released “The Hookup” – Kash’d Out’s first full-length album. Prior to its release\, KO hit the road with Pepper and Less Than Jake\, which helped the album climb the Billboard Reggae Charts. Since then\, Kash’d Out has been no stranger to the open road. Storming the nation with an abundance of full U.S. tours under their belt\, KO has supported genre heavyweights such as Collie Buddz\, The Expendables\, Iration\, and headlined multiple US tours of their own. The band’s drive and passion have landed them in the lineup of Reggae’s most esteemed festivals such as Reggae Rise Up Florida/Utah/Maryland\, California Roots\, Dry Diggings\, and One Love. \nKash’d Out’s most recent album\, “Butter\,” displays their diversity and mission in their own musical path. The band has remained steadfast in its originality\, yet continues to evolve\, revealing different sides to its sound. \nKash’d Out is excited to continue touring the country with a high-energy show and a genuine love for sharing the music they’ve made with anyone and everyone! \nNew roots reggae and dubfire rock for the motion of your soul. Hailing from Atlantic City\, NJ Sensamotion is known for their unique style\, captivating a audience across the nation. They have shared the stage with some of the biggest names in reggae music such as The Wailers\, Matisyahu\, Israel Vibration\, Tribal Seeds\, Collie Buddz\, The Green\, Easy Star All Stars\, Barrington Levy\, Stick Figure\, Ky-Mani Marley\, Fortunate Youth and more.. They’ve also performed as the backing band for Kevin Kinsella\, performing classic John Brown’s Body and 10ft Ganja Plant tunes. Inspired by bands such as Groundation\, Midnite\, and John Brown’s Body they are looking to bring something new to the table. \n5 Points Music Foundation is recognized 501c3 whose mission is to pursue the power of sound through live events that support access to music therapy\, hearing loss advocacy\, and accessibility initiatives.
