B HILL OF REGATTA 69

Brian Hill’s unmistakable voice, memorable songs and lyrical bass stylings have been the sonic backbone of his internationally touring rock-reggae band Regatta 69. For more than three decades he's been touring extensively throughout the US and Europe, delivering smooth performances of his uplifting songs to audiences in some 42 States and 17 countries. Now, coining the term “Emo Reggae”, he brings to the stage the heart-filled outpouring of his emotions while adopting the big sound of live looping.

With guitar in hand and loop pedal under foot, his latest music envisions a place deep in the foothills dripping with soul. Embellishing on a new take of the reggae sound, his Emo Reggae will lead your ears to mine what echoes within. Supporting his latest release “Countdown To Babblelawn”, B Hill’s lyrical twists of sarcasm and wit give you his somehow eternally optimistic premonitions of what might be, reminiscent of the days gone by.

His concerts are featuring some classic ska and reggae remakes, but mostly his original songs, both new and rarities from the vault of Regatta 69’s 30+ year recording history. Hill’s career is defined by relentless international touring, having performed over 2,500 shows across the United States, Europe, and South Africa and Brazil. He is known for recruiting an international rotating cast of musicians—from United States, Germany, France, and the UK blending ska and reggae with dub and worldbeat.
