Enjoy a roots raggae collective with Solomon Dub!

Solomon Dub is a roots reggae and dub collective from the Philadelphia, South Jersey, and Bucks County region, made up of veteran musicians with deep ties to reggae’s foundation and culture. . Fronted by Mikey Luvsmith, the band delivers heavy basslines, dubwise arrangements, and conscious roots reggae through dynamic, highly interactive live performances. Known for strong audience engagement and a communal stage presence, Solomon Dub creates shows that feel participatory rather than passive. Their performance history includes respected venues and festivals throughout the region—such as Sol Splash, Morrisville Tavern, and Kung Fu Necktie—and they have opened in Philadelphia for the legendary HR of Bad Brains. With a loyal following, distinctive merch, and a reputation as true artisans of reggae, Solomon Dub brings authenticity, energy, and cultural integrity to every booking.

Presented by local artist Gretchen Elise, we invite all to come out every Thursday between May 7th – June 4th to enjoy 5 weeks of all-ages music, warm weather, and connecting with your community.
