100% independent Roots, Rock, Reggae, Dancehall, Dub, and more--this is the unique blend of music that is NATTY NATION. 2008 marks their 13th anniversary of keeping the positive messages of their unique indigenous Wisconsin reggae beats throbbing through the heartland, sharing the stage with and backing up reggae legends like Lee "Scratch" Perry, Ziggy, Damian & Stephen Marley, Sister Carol, Steel Pulse, Burning Spear, Wailing Souls, Culture with Joseph Hill, Beenie Man, & countless others. They bring 13 years of performance experience, 13 years of songs from a great original 60+ song catalog, and a 13-year fan base (not to mention a huge email list & street team throughout the country & abroad!). NATTY NATION has experience playing festivals, events, and other venues from coast to coast & abroad, performing at hundreds of clubs, theaters, outdoor music festivals, & Military bases abroad, including Summerfest, SXSW, CMJ Music Marathon, Millenium Music Conference, Atlantis Music Conference, Wookiefoot's Harvestfest, Bob Marley Fest in Florida, Freakfest, Habitat for Humanity's 100th House Celebration, & several others. Their messages of peace, love, community positive vibration has been ringing out since NATTY's inception in 1995. JAH Boogie and his backing band's tight but fluid, rootsy but funky, beautiful but gritty, righteous but real vibration is clear to anyone listening to their music, either at a show or on their stereo. The NATTY Crew has received several awards during their 13 years, including: -Madison Area Music Awards (MAMAs) in 2007 for the overall Entertainer of the Year, Best World Artist, Album--"Seth's Picks", & Song--"Hurricane", which was also selected as the first song on a CD to benefit the ever-growing homeless population in Madison. -Broadjam's international song of the month "Cool & Proper" -Selection for the highly sought after Armed Forces Entertainment tour of the Middle East & Africa playing for the troops -Wisconsin Area Music Award (WAMI) for Best Reggae/World/Ska Artist of the Year -Best World Artist or Group for five years of the Isthmus' Newspaper's readers poll and many more It's almost impossible not to dance at a NATTY live performance. Every NATTY NATION concert is a different experience. Their energy is infections & their dubtastic jams are complex, yet their message is simple--spread the positive vibration.
