The Strides

The Strides are a force for Reggae music, fronted by roots man Ras Roni from Barbados, Fijian MC LTL GZeus and Sierra Leonian ragga powerhouse Blaka C, The Strides deliver a musical experience that is as explosive as it is authentic. The Strides’ music faithfully builds on the foundations of classic roots reggae with a hip-hop edge, forging a sound that brings together modern dance hall, dub beats and reggae-pop.

Jordan Astra: The Live Tour

Jordan Astra is a Canadian-Indonesian singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Toronto, crafting a vibrant blend of uptempo R&B, modern funk, and soulful pop deeply influenced by jazz harmony and live-band performance. Known for his rhythm-forward arrangements, tight grooves, and melodic storytelling, Jordan’s sound draws from artists like Anderson .Paak, Jamiroquai, Kaytranada, and Bruno Mars, while carving a lane that is distinctly his own.

    A. Swayze & the Ghosts head back to Hobart on Jan 30 for a hometown show at Altar. It’s the final stop of the run, marking a new chapter for the band and a chance to share fresh songs with the community that shaped them.
