Reggae music remains a pillar of SunFest. Each year we are treated to acts like The Wailers, Ziggy and Damian Marley, SOJA, Iration, 311, Slightly Stoopid, and Morning Fatty. The island notes and flavors are simply perfect for our seaside stages, and this year is...
Rooted in Central Florida, singer/multi-instrumentalist Ryan McKenzie is stirring up the music scene with gorgeous pop music that is both introspective and inspiring. McKenzie has been dabbling with music since 13 years old. He has mastered multiple instruments without any formal lessons. Fast forward to today:...
Well, folks. After 15 years of journalism and creating writing, I’m done. I’m packing up my pens. I’m throwing away these notebooks. I’ve found my true calling: A backup dancer for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. No, no. I can’t dance. I have zero coordination or rhythm....

This Toronto-based band formed in 2008, but recently their singles “We Don’t Know” and “Spirits” have settled into...
