TREEHO– USE!
TreeHouse! (Myrtle Beach, SC) has spent the majority of their days blazing sprawls of highway and their nights playing an unapologetic enthusiastic blend of reggae jam rock they are known for in venues across the nation.
TreeHouse! songs resonate in your soul with lyrics of rising above adversity, the power of gratitude, and the importance of unity. For every setback, there’s a step up waiting for you if you keep your focus. For every day, there’s a blessing to count, and for every event, we must recognize we are a part of it all. It’s this kind of message that makes the most recent studio album, Lifted, their strongest release to date.
In 2010, singer/guitarist Jeremy Anderson and drummer Trey Moody formed the foundation of American Reggae Jam Rock band TreeHouse! With a vision and a dream, they jumped into a van to travel the country and share their good vibes. Along the way they picked up fellow band members Joe Harley on Keyboards/Theramin/Vocals and Chris Hat on bass.
The TreeHouse! single, “Blessings” was picked by Stephen Marley and Ky-Mani Marley as one of the top 10 songs out of hundreds of contestants in the Marley’s Music Uprising, because they felt this song exemplified the spirit of Bob Marley.

Los Caligaris (Argentina)
La Skandaloza! (Houston)
Plan Sonidero (Austin)
The story behind Córdoba, Argentina’s own Los Caligaris is one of rampant celebration and laughter. Founded 20 years ago, the band exhibits a brand of brass-filled ska that’s well rooted in Argentinian murga, a traditional carnivalesque culture which was effectively redefined and powered in South America’s Southern Cone back in the 90s, thanks to the work of well known acts such as Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Los Auténticos Decadentes and Los Calzones Rotos. Consisting of 12 members, the project’s name pays homage to a legendary clown who literally laughed until the verge of his death. The latest instalment of the band’s live tours was baptised “The World’s Happiest Show”, and it’s been widely celebrated in nearly 10 countries across Latin America.
Besides the circusy ska/punk atmospheres that these guys showcase on stage, soccer is a theme that is constantly linked to the band’s music (and Argentinian ska in general).
Los Caligaris son una banda musical formada en 1997 en Bº Residencial América de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina, que fusiona diversos géneros musicales que van desde el rock hasta el cuarteto cordobés, sumando a su propuesta aires circenses y ofreciendo un innovador estilo de canciones para ver. El nombre del grupo se inspira en la leyenda del payaso “Caligari”, quien mientras desarrollaba su rutina, murió en escena disimulando su agonía como parte de su acto. En homenaje a aquel gran payaso, nacen “Los Caligaris”, enarbolando la bandera de divertir hasta el final.
La banda, que en 2017 cumplió 20 años, cuenta con 8 discos editados y estuvo nominada en 3 oportunidades a los premios Carlos Gardel de Argentina, obteniendo ese galardón en 2017 con su disco “Circología”. Además, ha sido destacada por la fundación Konex como uno de los 100 mejores artistas de la década en su país.
Desde la salida de su primer disco en 2002, Los Caligaris se presentan a lo largo de todo el territorio nacional realizando un promedio de 80 shows por año. Participaron en prestigiosos festivales como Cosquín Rock (en 5 oportunidades), Baradero Rock, Festival de la Manzana, Festival del Bicentenario, Festival de Peñas en Villa María, Pepsi Music, entre otros.
Recientemente la banda ha lanzado un EP con 2 canciones titulado “Canciones Felices” y se encuentra de gira por Latinoamérica pesentando su nuevo espectáculo denominado “El Show Más Feliz Del Mundo”.
Reconocimiento Internacional
A lo largo de su extensa trayectoria, Los Caligaris han realizado giras por todo Latinoamérica, donde han desarrollado una extensa carrera coronada en 2017 con la presentación de su show 20º aniversario en El Palacio de los Deportes, agotándo sus más de 20.000 lugares con varios meses de antelación.
En las más de 15 giras por México estuvieron entre los números centrales en prestigiosos festivales como Música para los Dioses en las pirámides de Teotihuacán, Machaca Festival en Monterrey, Festival Catrina en Puebla y el Festival Vive Latino, en el que se presentaron en 4 oportunidades en el escenario principal, haciendo bailar a decenas de miles de espectadores. También tocaron en horario central en el Festival Pal Norte.
En 2012, su tema Kilómetros fue seleccionado para formar parte del DVD compilatorio que reúne los mejores momentos del festival Vive Latino. Actuaron además en la gala de los premios “Lunas del auditorio” en el Auditorio Nacional de México.
En noviembre de 2015, la banda realizó su primera gira europea con gran éxito en 10 ciudades españolas.
Ese mismo año tuvieron 4 presentaciones en el auditorio Plaza Condesa en Ciudad de México, y su show fue elegido por votación del público como el mejor del año.
En 2016 y 2017 Los Caligaris realizaron 2 giras por Estados Unidos, tocando en el mítico Whisky Agogo de Los Ángeles con entradas agotadas, y en el Skanking Reggae de la misma ciudad, entre otros.
Durante mayo de 2017 ganaron gran aceptación en Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile y Ecuador.
En julio de 2017 se presentaron en Bogotá, en el Multitudinario Festival Rock al Parque.

A humbling past and a never promised tomorrow, was the drive of Chris “Boomer” Unchangco. Born December 24, 1985 on the island of Guam; the southern most island in the Marianas Archipelago; where Chamorus have been the Native inhabitants for over 4000 years; where FAMILIA *Family* and RESPETU *Respect* are the upholding forces of Chamoru culture; where Chris Boomer grew to be a man, a singer, a songwriter and a performer. Chris learned a life of music in Guam; he played with his family, he played with his friends… People stopped calling him Chris and started calling him Boomer. He enjoyed much local notoriety for his amazingly soulful and mesmerizing voice.

Flamingo Cantina is pleased to present live and direct from Jamaica, roots reggae artist The Meditations, featuring Ansel Cridland. Local reggae favorites The Contrabandits open the show. Doors at 9 p.m., Winston’s Kitchen on hand with delicious Caribbean fare. Show starts at 10:15 p.m. Ages 18 and up with valid id. Tickets will be $15 at the door.
As part of the foundation of reggae music, Ansel “Meditation” Cridland has over forty years producing, writing, arranging, and performing for fans all over the world. As leader of the legendary trio(The Meditations) Ansel and his fellow band members performed at the historical ONE LOVE PEACE CONCERT, held April, 22nd 1978, at the request of Bob Marley. Legends like Jimmy Cliff, Sly and Robbie, Philip Smart, Willie Lindo and Gregory Isaac are a few of the people that Ansel has worked with. These contributions have sculpted the sound of Roots Rock Reggae over the years. Making The Meditations a fundamental and essential part of reggae music.
Over the past few years Ansel (who has produced all of The Meditations’ albums excluding three) have been the only remaining original member of The Meditations to continue touring. Accompanying him for almost 10 years, as background vocalist are Laury Webb(who is also featured on The Good Of Man album) and DaddyLion Chandell. Together, they’ve been touring the United States performing for massive crowds at venues like the Red Rock Amphitheater twice in seven years. And returning in 2013, to celebrate Reggae On The River 30th year anniversary. A festival first opened by The Meditations and The Itals.
Criss crossing the United States year after year, embarking on journeys over waters to Africa in an attempt to quench the thirst for Meditations Music. On January 29, 2010 Ansel performed for exhilarated fans at The Parker Place(in Abidjan, Ivory Coast), which due to the demand, resulted in being two events instead of one. This amazing experience produced a great live album, titled Ansel Meditations Live In Africa. This album is
of legendary proportions to say the least. Its Roots Reggae at its finest. Its raw and filled with uncut material, capturing a monumental moment in time.
There’s most definitely a thirst for Roots Rock Reggae and that authentic Meditations sound. It’s by no means new but it’s growing in volume with every generation. The love is overwhelming and it’s an inspiring experience to see The Meditations live.
