"Music is our talent, our gift, our passion and joy, Music is Life..."

I had the unique opportunity to attend a special band performance as it was the 400th show for the Tasman Jude Band on July 4th! This is a band I was first introduced to During the Desert Live Music Festival held last year in the last week in June of 2014.

Since appearing at Desert Live Music Festival the Tasman Jude Band has played shows at the Nk'Mip RV Park, along the private Spirit Beach shoreline right next to the Spirit Beach Cantina Bar

This Summer alone Tasman Jude has planned 4 shows right here in Osoyoos with the first two on July 3rd and 4th and the next dates happening on August 7th and 8th.

Which is just before I leave Osoyoos to go to Merritt for the BC Ambassador Program Judged events on the week of August 12th to 15th.

I really love the spirit of Tasman Jude whose main goal is to play Reggae inspired music that promote messages of Love. Tasman Jude is currently a 4 person ensemble consisting of

Caleb - Vocals / Djembe

Derek Wilder - Bass / Backing Vox
Bethanie Earle - African Drums
Jose Luis Gonzalez - Guitar / Backin Vox

As of October 2014 the band released their first full Album Titled "Green" Which debuted as number 1 on the Itunes Reggae Charts. The band would like to release Green as the first album in a trilogy with the other album called Gold [Which is currently in pre-production] and the 3rd album tentatively titled Red.

I sincerely look forward to attending one of the August shows and know that with the messages of the band and the atmosphere of the crowd, it will send me off to Merritt with the perfect Frame of Mind!
