Incredible Band

Thank you to One Drop Redemption whose performance at our Anniversary Party made the event the best party we have thrown, and as many guests stated, one of the best parties ever. Professional from the get go, gracious, not to mention incredible musicians and performers, One Drop Redemption is a must for your Caribbean Party. Our guests felt as if they were at a Bob Marley concert. An incredible value too for this talented band.

Redemption Night

Our family had a little get together the night before the Bahamas. One Drop Redemption came by and rocked the house... In our house. We danced the night away for four hours. Bravo to Gordon, the band, and ""Bravo." Highly recommend.

What to expect

A One Drop Redemption performance is like stepping back in time with a front row seat; watching the Legendary Bob Marley & The Wailers!

About

One Drop Redemption brings the 'spirit' of Bob Marley & the Wailers to their Live Show. One Drop Redemption has headlined and opened for some of the greatest reggae artists of the day

The 'riddum' (rhythm) section of One Drop Redemption is made up of some of reggae's finest musicians from Jamaica, Belize, Africa, as well as the good old USA, making One Drop Redemption: Bob Marley Experience! one of the most authentic sounding Bob Marley Tribute acts in the world.

Founding member, Suba Dread (lead and pick guitars), proudly stated that, "We knew we were on the right track with Bob's music when in 2009 when we opened for Bob's son, Julian Marley, at the Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach, California. Julian came up to us after our show and gave us the best compliment a Jamaican can give another person. He simply said, "RASpect."

Testimonials

Beautiful night, awesome band that Bob Marley would be proud of!! incredible musicians.....much respect. peace, h/h --

– Hazel C

One Drop Redemption was fantastic...better than I could have hoped for. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, FUN Reggae band. --

– Julie G

I've been to many reggae shows and this was by far the most entertaining and intimate. The entire band and crew were very professional and extremely entertaining. This was definitely one of the best parties I have ever thrown or been to and One Drop was one of the main reasons. They sounded great and really put a genuine effort into making it an awesome show. If you can get a bunch of old white people to enjoy a reggae show, it must be a good band. I would give them the highest recommendation and I am trying to figure out another way to throw a party so I can have them play again. One Love, One Drop Redemption. --

– Brady B

One Drop Redemption played at our wedding and they totally made it a great party. They were accomodating, professional and really nice people. They drove up to our wedding site, worked with our coordinator and showed up early to check out the venue. They played the two specific songs we asked for and kept everyone dancing all night long (my grandma included). They are great musicians and know how to read the crowd. We would wholeheartedly recommend them for any party, event or wedding - they were fantastic! --

– Alex B

We truly enjoyed the band. I had several calls the next day from friends that now like reggae and never before cared for it before. It was a night to remember and you guys made it happen! --

– Molly S

One Drop Redemption was simply awesome! Don't walk....RUN to hire them. I booked them "blind", and they brought so much more to our event than I ever imagined. It was like channeling Bob....with all the great sound, vibe and spirit! Even the reggae-uninitiated among your guests will love this band.

– Steve G. Davis, CA

If you think wedding...the first thing that pops out of your mind is Reggae, right? WRONG!!! Hiring One Drop was not only unique, but the best damned decision my fiancee (now wife!!) made for our reception! Everyone had a blast and BEGGED One Drop to keep playing....a request that they gladly obliged playing 3 encores!! The dance floor was never lacking company! Specifically, they were professional, fun and I can't imagine ever hiring any other band. If you are on the fence, JUMP!! You won't be disappointed. THANKS SUBADREAD!!!! Love, . --

– Jason & Karen

One Drop Redemption played for my husband's 50th birthday party. I feel so blessed to have this incredible band play and entertain our guests. I wanted the perfect party for his 50th and everyone one of the band members helped make that happen. In fact, our guests are saying it was the party of the century, and can't stop talking about how amazing the band was. We danced all night, and did not want it to end. You guys ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We really felt conncected with the band as they are as good hearted as they are amazing musicians. I would choose this band for any occasion, and we are huge fans!!!!!! Thank you....you guys are awesome!

"We had such a wonderful experience with One Drop Redemption. From the moment I began searching for a band to hire they stood out. They made a courteous phone call, they offered their services and were very prompt in getting back to me with any questions I had and willing to compromise to work with us. But the best part was how friendly and talented they are. We had an amazing time having them at our party and the music was so great. If you are looking for a reggae band, and some really good, genuine fun people, then book this band! We were sad to see them leave. Thank you to the band for an unforgettable night!" Performance date: 6/9/2007
