Luciano Messenjah
When you mention the word “Reggae”, there are certain names that immediately spring to mind like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Third World to name a few, but another artist that is firmly on the tip of people’s tongues is Luciano. Born on the paradise island of Jamaica, as a youth he was heavily influenced and drawn to Bob Marley’s positive “One Love Movement”. As he got older and embarked on his own professional singing career, Luciano himself began to influence the lives of others around the world with his own spiritual interpretation of the movement. Since then, he has reigned as the “King Of Conscious Reggae Music” and is now one of the most iconic figures representing roots reggae today.
Luciano entered the reggae industry in the early 90’s and eventually teamed up with Phillip ‘Fattis’ Burrell, one of the few producers around at the time that supported conscious roots music. The quality material produced by this partnership, coupled with the fact that by now Luciano’s style and vibe was so heavily influenced by Bob Marley, caught the attention of Chris Blackwell of Island Records. Chris eventually signed Luciano and the collaboration produced a string of #1 hits including an album that was voted amongst the top 30 reggae albums of all time by Mojo magazine.

Tantric
Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, Tantric has built a legacy as one of the most distinctive voices in American rock. Blending post-grunge grit with soaring harmonies, acoustic textures, and a heavy edge, the band carved out a sound that bridges the raw emotion of the late ’90s and the driving force of modern rock.
Formed in 1999 and led by frontman Hugo Ferreira—the group’s powerhouse vocalist, songwriter, and rhythm guitarist—Tantric quickly made waves with their signature mix of melodic depth and hard-hitting energy. Their music draws comparisons to post-grunge icons like Alice in Chains and Days of the New, a connection strengthened by their early collaboration with producer Toby Wright (known for his work with both bands). Wright’s influence helped shape Tantric’s signature layered vocal harmonies and dynamic sound.
Over the years, Tantric’s lineup and style have evolved, embracing new textures and creative directions. The addition of electric violinist Marcus Ratzenboeck introduced a haunting melodic element that reimagined their catalog and pushed their music into new territory. Today, Ferreira is joined by Matt Fuller (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Christian F. Lawrence (drums), bringing renewed fire and precision to Tantric’s live performances.
Known for powerful shows that blend nostalgia with innovation, Tantric continues to prove why they remain a force in American rock. Whether you’ve been a fan since the early 2000s or you’re just discovering their sound, a Tantric show is an unforgettable experience—filled with passion, energy, and the kind of music that stands the test of time.

Quinn Sullivan
Quinn rose to prominence in the mid 2000’s and continues to amaze audiences worldwide. Born in Boston in 1999 and raised in New Bedford Massachusetts, Quinn grew up in a musical household listening to classic rock, jazz and blues. He credits his early obsession with The Beatles as the impetus to pursue music as a full time career. He received his first guitar at the tender age of three and quickly demonstrated exceptional, natural talent. He gained national attention with appearances on afternoon and late-night television shows, the likes of The Tonight Show, Ellen, Jimmy Kimmell and Conan O’Brian). In 2007, Quinn met music legend Buddy Guy who invited him onstage and would later invite him to tour as his support and record with him throughout the next decade.
Over the years, Quinn has evolved from a remarkable young talent, into a mature, emotive artist known for blending blues, rock, and classic influences. His discography includes multiple albums, with his fifth release, “Salvation,” recognized as his most personal work, exploring themes of loss, love, and resilience. He has been praised not only for his exceptional guitar skills but also for his songwriting, drawing inspiration from both his musical roots and his own life experiences.
Quinn’s personal journey profoundly influences his music and his stage performance, reflecting years of growth and emotional depth shaped by life experiences including personal loss and soulful introspection. His recent albums explore themes of love, loss, hardship, and redemption, which translate into performances full of honest emotion and at the same time, infectious raw energy and enthusiasm, making every concert a personal and transformative experience for the audience.
