The 30th Annual Ragga Muffins Festival will grace us locally when the tour takes a stop in Long Beach, California. This years line up features singer/songwriter/percussionist Bunny Wailer. Wailer was raised in the same household as Bob Marley and Peter Tosh and his blend of feel good roots reggae bleeds pure Rastafarian spirituality. With over 30 performers and two days of music one can do no more but give thanks. We know those of you who are loyal would love to attend and KUCR is giving you that chance. Tune in to KUCR 88.3 fm this Saturday February 12th for DISTANT DRUM at 2pm for your chance to win tickets for either the Saturday or Sunday performances.

Little Dragon at the BARN

Little Dragon gracing the stage of The BARN at UC Riverside. The show began with the cerebral and celestial sounds of Billy Goat. This band combined video and live music to create a luscious landscape of sounds that set the perfect vibe for the rest of the night. The highly anticipated Swedish group, Little Dragon took the stafe not a moment too soon. The crowd of music lovers gave the band a gracious welcoming to Riverside and the Barn and the artists did not disappoint (see video above). The Barn Concert Series is every Wednesday night, keep checking back for more information about other shows!

The Barn Series kicks off with some hip-hop featuring Nocando and DJ Nobody
