BIO

Kore Ionz, uniting in Seattle from many corners of the globe, connect roots reggae with dynamic rock and world rhythms, producing high-energy grooves with a conscious message. Water for roots. Love of reggae. Fire for rock.

Kore Ionz believe a community must support itself in order to rise together and are donating 50% of the proceeds from their new album, Half-Hour Revolution , to The Service Board, a Seattle non-profit which provides life-changing programs and opportunites for marginalized youth. Kore Ionz are inspired, committed, and see music as a powerful vehicle for the growth of communities and individuals.

The ethnic makeup of the group represents five continents, with musical backgrounds equally as diverse, resulting in a global sound and culture that is their own. Promoting awareness of social injustice and the need to build a caring intragenerational community, their message is urgent and from the heart.

Kore Ionz have performed with such internationally acclaimed artists as Bob Marley's Original Wailers, Eek A Mouse, Clinton Fearon & the Boogie Brown Band, and John Brown's Body.
