Aquifer:
Tulsa native Heath Ham brings Aquifer a unique background that involves touring across the US with country bands, performing in jazz clubs, and professionally producing reggae and red dirt music. Through it all, his true passion has been for writing ska/reggae music. Heath’s diverse experience and unique upbringing in mid-America gives a true roots Americana vibe to his song writing.
John Jones picked up the guitar during college in Fort Myers, FL. He’s been both a front man guitarist/singer and a bassist for bands leading up to joining Aquifer. John’s Motown roots in his early bass playing days have paved the way for his eclectic dub bass lines that drive the sound of the band.
Danny grew up playing blues in his home state of Arkansas. After taking a hiatus from music through college, he found his way to Austin. Following a brief stint in a country project that involved Heath Ham, Danny invited John to play with him and Heath, and the three were able to find a common ground in the reggae genre.

The Aggrolites + special guests Los Kurados & Kung Fu Sound System!

The Aggrolites are an amalgamation of two previous Los Angeles reggae and ska bands, the Vessels and the Rhythm Doctors. They formed in 2002 as a live backing band for reggae icon Derrick Morgan, and were asked to record music for a new Morgan album. The project was never released, but the recording sessions inspired the Aggrolites to become a permanent band. They have served as the backing band for Phyllis Dillon, Scotty, Joseph Hill of Culture, Prince Buster, and Tim Armstrong.
Regarding their musical style, Aggrolites organist Roger Rivas has stated that a combination of the sounds of 1960s soul music, funk, and reggae constitutes what the band has dubbed “Dirty Reggae.”
In 2003, the Aggrolites released their debut album, Dirty Reggae, on local reggae label Axe Records. The album was recorded at Signet Studios in Los Angeles in one day, with each song recorded in one take, and with many lyrics improvised on the spot. In November 2004, the Aggrolites were featured on Hellcat Records compilation Give ‘Em the Boot IV, and were officially signed to Hellcat in October 2005. The Aggrolites’ self-titled Hellcat debut was released on May 9, 2006. In December 2006 they toured the UK as the support band for Madness. The Aggrolites finished a collaboration with Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong for his new solo album, A Poet’s Life. They are providing the instrumentals with Tim as lead singer.
