“Too blessed to be stressed,” is one of many key song lyrics from Rebelution’s latest album Count Me In. The California band’s fourth full-length release marks its tenth year together. And while surely every band has its share of stress, Rebelution feels they have been “too blessed” to have much time to worry about it.

Said guitarist/singer Eric Rachmany about the band in its decade milestone, “We still have the same energy as we did as a young band, if not more. The more experience we had doing this, the more inspired we became.”

The seeds of Rebelution germinated in Santa Barbara’s college town of Isla Vista in 2004.  Guerilla-style cover gigs led to bigger local shows and original songs.  All very different, but always musical brothers, these tireless pioneers of California Reggae now play 100-120 shows a year. Tours have taken them to South America, Guam, Aruba, New Zealand and Europe. They’ve performed at Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits. They’ve headlined and sold out Red Rocks and the Santa Barbara Bowl, and done all this with no backing from any major label and very little media support.

Marley explains: “Our music is meant to move people physically and mentally at the same time. When people are really dancing and really thinking, that’s a double threat.” Among other things, he adds, it evokes “It’s a ‘one love’ spirit and we’re doing it in our own style, influenced by the diversity in California and the people we were surrounded by growing up.”
