The Slackers

For 35 years, the NYC-based and critically acclaimed Slackers have been touring the world with their blend of Ska, Reggae, and Soul.

Since 1991, the Slackers have released fifteen albums and countless singles, while their 1000s of live performances feed their fans with energetic sets of ecstatic music. The Slackers have been called the Sound of New York by the New York Times. They were described by Brooklyn Vegan as a clean mix of Ska, Reggae, and Soul that gets dirtied up by Vic Ruggiero's tough New York accent.

In April 2022, The Slackers released a new album, Don't Let The Sunlight Fool Ya (Pirates Press) which quickly shot to the top of the US Billboard charts. The first time that a Slackers album has charted! Ironically after 30 years as a band, they qualified as a Billboard new artist! The Washington Post noted that the Slackers remain at the top of their game. The chart topping sales of Don't Let The Sunlight Fool Ya capped a 2 year comeback of the Slackers. When Covid stopped live shows in 2020, the Slackers pivoted to livestreams and made 5 full band concerts that were broadcast internationally to an audience of thousands. After the streams, they stayed in the studio and recorded the tunes that became Don't Let the Sunlight Fool Ya.

The Slackers capped this comeback with a series of frenetic tours in 2022 and 2023. They played everything from clubs to festivals in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Brazil. They are also currently working on a 20th anniversary reissue of their classic album, Close My Eyes for September and on a new single of original music for October.
