Hailing from the British Isle of Anguilla, British Dependency brings roots, heart and soul to Reggae music by fusing various genres with their three piece ensemble, drum, guitar and bass. British Dependency’s unique and eclectic sound appeals not only to those with a discerning musical palate but also those who are avid reggae fans. The Band lives by the mantra, ''Creating music that reflects originality, talent, togetherness, bravery and wisdom. Our Music, Our Future, Our Independence.” With that they continue to push the boundaries and open new roads of empowerment and forward-thinking.
Adding to their vintage sound is a fresh take on the overall feel and look of the band which consists of Anguilla's first female bass player, Joyah along with drummer, Jaiden and lead vocalist and guitar player, Ruel. In November 2013 the band released their debut album, “Finding Wisdom.” With the release of this album the band embarked on a three week, 14-city tour as support to legendary reggae band, The Wailers, and their 30th anniversary tour. Impressed by British Dependency’s performance, The Wailers invited the band to join them on the West Coast dates to round out their 30th anniversary U.S. tour. This live album is from the Sunday March 2nd 2014 show at the Belly Up.
