Arise Roots Live at Evenings at Elings

Arise Roots Headline “Evenings at Elings” on Friday, May 13th

with Special Guests King Zero and True Zion

Arise Roots was formed in 2010 with the intent to create a new and unique roots reggae band that reflects their collective passions. Rising up from the streets of Los Angeles, the band had one goal: to create a fresh reggae sound with a modern feel that appeals to all walks of life without compromising the true feel of roots reggae.

The all-star cast of musicians was recruited for their talent and appreciation of classic reggae styles. After a vigorous search, Arise Roots became host to six extremely talented individuals who had already made a name for themselves performing in numerous local reggae bands as well as backing various reggae legends touring through Southern California with veteran Blake Collie holding steady on drums, Rudy Covarrubias towering on bass, and Todd Johnson adding his trademark mix of keys and harmonies, the band had secured a dynamic rhythm section. Chris Brennan was called upon for his impeccable rhythm guitar and soulful backing vocals while lead guitarist Robert Sotelo adds his unmistakable signature style of riffs and licks. Lead vocalist, Karim Israel coming from a lineage of Jamaican vocalists, was added to the group, providing his raw, sultry flow which pairs perfectly with his powerful lyrics.

Arise Roots will share the stage with special guests Santa Barbara’s own King Zero and True Zion!
