It’s been four years since Minnesota based national touring electronic reggae-dub band Jon Wayne and The Pain released their album Surrender; and they’ve packed a lot into the time between. They’ve gained much momentum over the years performing at California Roots, Wakarusa, Shangri-La and Summer Camp, but now the band is ready for a new chapter by releasing their fourth album Your Vibe Attracts Your Tribe, with an extensive 34 date, 18 state tour to follow.
“I feel we're much more conscious about our lyrical expression…”
The tour will be kicking off with an official album release party taking place on January 21, 2017 at the First Avenue – Mainroom in their hometown of Minnesota with supporting acts Jason Hann of The String Cheese Incident, West Coast hip-hop legend ZION I and local hip-hop group, Crunchy Kids.
The four-piece “Twin-Cities” based national touring band, includes Jon Weight on acoustic guitar and vocals, Weston Schick on Electronic Wind Instrument and Keys, Chuck T “Pappa” Torgerson on bass and Teeto Miller on drums.
“This album is definitely a highly emerged sound for JWP. It's reflective of our past reggae-centric music, yet incorporates a high fusion of electronic and acoustic elements. I feel we're much more conscious about our lyrical expression, as we hope to be messengers of goodness with social commentaries that elevate the state of our environment and society. It's hands down our best and most developed album yet,” says lead vocalist Jon Weight.
