July 24 Lazy Man Dub Band Concert

Virginia Tech and the Town of Blacksburg’s Summer Arts Festival proudly presents the Lazy Man Dub Band!

Lazy Man Dub Band is a reggae band hailing from Roanoke, Virginia. Formed in 2007, the band is comprised of 9 talented musicians who share a passion for the one drop grooves of classic reggae music. Their sound is anchored by a tight and soulful rhythm section, complemented by a powerful horn section that adds an extra layer of depth and energy to their live performances.

Lazy Man Dub Band draws inspiration from the great reggae bands of the past, such as Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Skatalites, and The Maytals. Their music combines classic elements of roots reggae, dub, and one drop with a modern sensibility, resulting in a sound that is both timeless and fresh.

The band's live shows are renowned for their high energy and infectious grooves, as well as their tight musicianship and improvisational flair. Whether playing at local clubs and festivals or opening for national acts, Lazy Man Dub Band always brings their A-game and leaves audiences wanting more.
