Multiple members of the Grateful Dead as well as their soundman of nearly three decades have praised their performances – alongside critics from NPR, Rolling Stone and USA Today.Grammy award-winning reggae band Steel Pulse has been true to their roots for over 35 years. One of Bob Marley's favorites, the band has maintained a sense of fierce integrity as it strives to get the message of love and justice across to all people. The Grammy-winning band released a number of highly acclaimed albums and embarked on numerous world tours which have included shows in every continent.
