the resonators

The resonators are a West Coast based operation that has cultivated a unique sound, which combines components from a wide spectrum of musical, scientific, and philosophical influences. With a mixture of sounds derived from the roots of hip-hop, reggae, rock, blues, classical, jazz and even folk, the resonators create an uplifting vibe to tune the audience in with the poetry that the music carries. Our major influences include artists such as Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Rakim, Lauryn Hill, Vivaldi, Talib Kweli, Miles Davis, KRS-ONE, Public Enemy, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bob Dylan, and so many more.
The resonators also, along with family business music, organize and promote independent shows with many groups, from multi-day festivals to one night shows with contracted headliners such as: don carlos, dehli 2 dublin, prezident brown, c-rayz walz, mystic, 2mex, visionaries, grouch & eligh(living legends), shapeshifters, ellay khule, mestizo, busdriver, souls of mischief, knobody(hieroglyphics), sadat x(brand nubians), sabac red(non phixion), the dialecs, corby yates, the hooliganz, the mountain gypsy band, audiotherapy, dj bluntmastarr, turbin, puddle, crazy grass, knowvella, con artist productions, elk thunder drum, living alliance of love, izabella, pub scouts, the musical brewing co., baysic, moonshine bandits, L.C.A., everlast AKA whitey ford, melvin seals with members of the Jerry Garcia Band, ishi dube w/ massaganna, and many more.
