Rebelution was formed in 2004 at the University of California Santa Barbara, by Eric Rachmany, keyboardist Rory Carey, bassist Marley D.

Throughout the show, you could hear the roar of an audience eager to sing along to positive messages in songs like “Feeling Alright,” off the Courage to Grow album (2007) and “Sky is the Limit” from the Peace of Mind album (2012). Rebelution’s thoughtful lyrics are not lost on their fans. In the new category, Rebelution played the first release from the Free Rein album, “Celebrate.” “ You know you’ll never be strange to us/We know you got something to offer up/Just be loving and kind/And that will keep you in line,” Eric sang on the chorus. The band, which has created a loyal fan base for their style of west coast roots rock reggae, performed some new stuff, a bit of old, and as singer/guitarist Eric Rachmany described some “in-between.” The tour features special guests Stephen Marley, Common Kings, Zion I, and DJ Mackle. The 27-city tour takes its name from Rebelution’s recently released and seventh studio album ( Free Rein). The show took place on July 1 as part of the Free Rein summer tour that kicked off in Florida last month. Outside the temperature was oppressively hot, but all was cool and irie inside the state of the art concert venue. Southern California reggae band Rebelution brought their brand of good vibes music to The Theater at MGM National Harbor last Sunday.

Rebelution performs at MGM National Harbor on July 1, 2018.
