Green River Vibe

"The first time I met the guys from Green River Vibe was in one of my music classes at the College of Arts and Media, here in Denver. It was student-presentation day, and while everyone else was hooking up their laptops to the projector, Alex and the rest of the crew were hauling in a three-piece trap kit and a piano. They set up a full pseudo-stage in the small classroom, just in time to perform for the last few minutes of class. The raw emotion of lead singer Alex Mackenzie-Low’s voice, and the steady reggae rhythm of the guys around him, showed me that they were completely legit and, more importantly, they were in it for the right reasons. Instead of being just another assignment, they took advantage of the [classroom] situation, and used it as a testing ground for their newly formed band.

That was one of their first shows, and since then they have moved into bigger venues around Denver, even traveling out of the state recently to reach more fans. Far away from any ocean, these guys are bringing the smooth reggae “vibe” right here to Denver." - Colorado Music Buzz

"From the opening cut ("Calling of the Angels") on Sun Comes Up, Green River Vibe's debut, it's pretty clear where the quintet is coming from: About halfway into a rock-infused reggae groove, the tune breaks down into a hip-hop interlude. The players, who all met while studying music at the University of Colorado Denver, have a good handle on reggae, rock and hip-hop, and they do a capable job of both fusing and separating the genres here. Steering into Sublime territory at times, they also take a far-out psychedelic trip on "So Be at Peace," with sitar and didgeridoo." - Westward Music Magazine
