RIDGWAY<br />
BRIGHTER DAYS<br />
Combining reggae-groove with rock hooks and melodies, Bay Area group, Ridgway, have been taking their act<br />
along the West Coast over the last four years.<br />
What started as three friends playing open mic nights and house parties has grown into a raucous five-piece<br />
band that never fails to put on a thrilling show.<br />
In 2016, the band put together their first full-length album entitled ‘Brighter Days’, and received critical acclaim.<br />
Ridgway would be awarded “2016 Reggae Band of the Year” by the Bohemian newspaper upon return from<br />
their northwest tour.<br />

Featured Album<br />
Inspired by bands such as Sublime, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Expendables, and Passafire the quintet takes<br />
pride in their music’s originality, and its ability to span several genres: reggae, rock, hip-hop, metal, and pop.<br />
The group’s true light shines on stage, where they encourage fans to come out with the intent to dance and the<br />
willingness to rock out.<br />
“We take great pride in writing and performing original songs,” lead guitarist, Jack Buzian says. “Much like the<br />
band itself, our music has collaboratively and organically evolved over time. We began with the idea of forming<br />
a simple reggae band but, given our different backgrounds and musical influences, we incorporated many<br />
genres of music: rock, reggae, hip-hop, tasteful metal and pop.”<br />
