Tribal Seeds at Verizon Amphitheater July 12

Chart-topping reggae group the Tribal Seeds will be performing at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine on July 12.

The show is part of the “Kickin’ Up Dust Tour” where the Tribal Seeds will open up for headliners Slightly Stoopid and Atmosphere.

“We have performed in Orange County several times. OC has always given us a lot of love,” the Tribal Seeds say. “The Southern Cali crowd rages. We just look forward to being on that stage in front of thousands jamming roots, rock, reggae music.”

Based in San Diego, the Tribal Seeds’ music comes from an influence of Roots Reggae with a unique energetic feel and is known among the reggae genre. Both their 2008 self titled debut album, “Tribal Seeds” and their 2009 album, “The Harvest,” was named “Best Of” in the iTunes Reggae genre and their new EP, “Soundwaves,” peaked at number two on the Billboard Reggae Charts.

The group was originally started by brothers Steven Rene Jacobo (Lead vocals) and Tony-Ray Jacobo (Keyboard), but has expanded to six members: Tony Navarro (Lead guitar), Carlos Verdugo (drums), Jose Rodriguez (Keys, percussion), and Victor Navarro (bass).

“Our influences come from the Roots Reggae musicians that started this genre and the spiritual positive messages they promoted as well. We make music that we love and promote a positive message,” the Tribal Seeds say. “Each member brings their musical background and influence to our sound.”

The Tribal Seeds have toured with various artists such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Wailers, and Jane’s Addiction, but say that they look forward to their summer tour with Slightly Stoopid and Atmosphere where fans can expect to hear hard hitting roots reggae music and a big sound with all six members giving off lots of energy.

“We work hard at what we do and we feel it pays off. We stay true to the reggae sound and have thought provoking lyrics that intrigue listeners,” the Tribal Seeds say. “We appreciate all the love and support from our fans. We’ll continue to work hard for all of you.”

The Tribal Seeds are currently working on a new album this year and will continue to tour in hopes to expand their tour worldwide.
