<br />
Montana may not be known as a breeding ground for reggae-rock bands, but Bozeman-<br />
based Landlocked has thrived by creating unique, soulful music that reminds the listener<br />
more of surfing and beach parties than ski huts and barn dances. But that\'s not to say that<br />
they play straightforward island rock. Landlocked\'s sound starts with reggae and then<br />
takes a left turn into funk and hip-hop, with a live show that sometimes rises to the manic<br />
energy of punk rock.<br />
<br />
The inclusion of ukulele as a lead instrument, played by Hawaii-born Tim Garcia, adds<br />
an organic element to the music, complementing the technical, forceful electric guitar<br />
playing of Eric Bee. Lead singer David Siataga moves from smooth R&B vocals to a<br />
powerful dancehall attack, all while trading rap verses with high-spirited Josh Mori.<br />
Sam Krutsch and Loren Block\'s focused rhythm section offers an aggressive, danceable<br />
backdrop to sing-along choruses about good times, girls, and the occasional bar fight.<br />
<br />
Landlocked has shared the stage with leading reggae and rock bands such as Rebelution,<br />
Iration, The Dirty Heads, State Radio, and Pacific Dub. Their recent EP album Butterfly<br />
Kickboxing debuted on the iTunes Top 25 Reggae Albums chart.<br />
It was only 12 months ago that the Canadian Music Industry awarded Elaine Lil\'Bit<br />
Shepherd with the Juno for \"Reggae Recording of the Year\". With high anticipation,<br />
Vancouver based singer Lil\'Bit is nearing the release date of her debut album<br />
entitled \"MOVE YA\". The album was produced by the legendary John Forbes, who<br />
founded the 70\'s group Chalawa, and was mastered by JT Edmondson at Paranoyd<br />
Studio where Shepherd recorded her EP \"Lady In The Streets\". It features the works of<br />
talented fellow musicians Matthew Reid, Richard Brown, Andycakes, Dylan Munro, DJ<br />
Graham Morley & Shugarboy, Nikhilesh Nayar, Devon Martin and more. It also includes<br />
her Juno winning single, \"Likkle But Mi Tallawah\", and a rendition of the Peaches &<br />
Herb classic \"Four\'s A Traffic Jam\" Ft. Tinga Stewart and co-produced by the highly<br />
respected Glen Ricketts. \"MOVE YA\" is a 12 track cross-genre album that is rooted<br />
in Reggae and is infused with the sounds of R&B, Soft Rock, Disco, Jazz and Adult<br />
Contemporary.<br />
<br />
In the Canadian music industry, only a few Reggae singers have gained acclamation<br />
and success. Born in Bahrain with a multicultural background, Shepherd is one of<br />
the leading Reggae artists in Canada with highly successful songs such as \"Lady<br />
In The Streets\", \"Dignified Woman\", and the 2011 Marijuana Music Awarded<br />
single \"Sensimilla\". In 2009 she released her EP entitled \"Lady In The Streets\", which hit<br />
the music charts across the globe. Due to the success achieved by this young artist in such<br />
a short time, she was quickly recognized and welcomed as a \"Celebrity Judge\" to the<br />
Shaw TV Urban Star Contest. Immediately her personality was adored by many of the<br />
viewing fans who started making demands for music and for performances in their cities.<br />
As her fans continue to grow and her musical direction expands, she has crossed genres<br />
and released a number of collaborative singles into the market. Stay Tuned....
