“'Tasman Jude's lyrical style, acoustic melody, tight production and positive, universal message make this song formidable.'”

“Reggae is not usually the first genre that comes to mind when thinking about the Alberta music scene. However, Grande Prairie band Tasman Jude has found success playing music from the Caribbean”

“Tasman Jude isn't the typical band you'd find in a small prairie town like Grande Prairie. I've had the chance to check out some of their live shows and they're awesome. Since I had transplanted myself here from Toronto almost three years ago I never fathomed I'd see such a band. The fact that a reggae band is uncharactersitic from a prairie ton makes them stand out. You can tell by the crowds they draw that these guys have something special.”

“The 9-month band has just released the official music video for their get happy single, “Take You Away.” In their short time as a band, Tasman Jude has been racking up an impressive list of international accolades including; performing in over 80 shows in over 14 cities; international radio play; helping to raise over 2Million dollars for Flood Relief in Southern Alberta, Canada. These positively hard-working young men are also gaining recognition for their EP, “El Norteño,” that charted on iTunesCA.”

“I live in New Zealand, it’s a small place in the bottom of the pacific that is a melting pot of great music. One of the things that works the best with the pacific musical blend is Dub and Reggae vibes... So its fair to say I know what great reggae, dub and roots sound like. So I was excited when I heard the vibes around the group Tasman Jude, a reggae based group made up of Bravehart (from Trinidad & Tobago) & Al Peterson (From Canada) an unusual combination on paper if you look at just the countries of origin you would have to admit – however what I heard was something fresh, and I liked it.”

“Tasman Jude striking while the iron is still hot!”

“ Have you guys checked out the sweet reggae sounds of our friends Tasman Jude? Do it. Now.”
