The Elovaters debuted on the progressive roots scene with their chart-topping 2018 album Defy Gravity. Their music has been featured on CBS and SiriusXM, and they won Artist of the Year at the 2022 New England Music Awards.

Born in New Orleans and raised in Bermuda, dancehall singer Collie Buddz is best known for his hit track Come Around. His self-titled 2007 debut album was released by Sony. He followed it with albums including Good Life, which topped the U.S. Reggae chart.

The Hip Abduction, formed in 2010 in St. Petersburg, Florida, creates wanderlust-inspired global pop. Their sound blends reggae, world, and dub with African rhythms and instruments like the kora and ngoni. Known for high-energy performances, popular songs include "Children of the Sun" and "Pacific Coast Highway" (with Trevor Hall). Their 2013 self-titled album reached #5 on Billboard Reggae charts. "Stargazers, Wanderers & Rogues" (2024) is among their albums.
