"Classic roots reggae has been a longtime focus for Hoonhout and Furnee, acts like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Culture and Desmond Decker. That allegiance to tradition has resulted in high-profile opening sots over the years opening for every major artist that you can think of in the Reggae world: Bunny Wailer, Burning Spear, the Itals, Culture, Ziggy Marley, The Wailers. Our music is Roots Reggae and it's all got a strong message."

“Rock and Reggae show rocks the Centennial Amphitheater Cody Finney / The Arbiter University Pulse welcomed Boise State students back to school on Saturday, with the University Pulse R&R Concert. Students gathered in the Centennial Amphitheater for the free event which was much more than the average concert. The event included a tug-of-war tournament, a water slide and free ice cream near the dorms. The theme of the evening was rock and reggae. as “reggae and hip-hop.”. Voice of Reason was the third band to play at the event. They kept the theme going with their strong reggae sound mixed with brass instrumentals. Music blasting through the amphitheater and across campus drew the attention of students passing by. I came for the music,” Koehler said. “I would like to see even more shows here with local bands and mainstream music.” Matthew Styler, coordinated the event.”

Of course, that was probably the idea: to acclimate the crowd and get them warmed up for the headliner.
