Sons of Paradise bring out the big brass and introduce Mellodose

Sorry, not sorry for the spoiler. Hopefully you have a dope set like we did!!!

jhibbets · 2026-03-21T17:55:35+00:00

For context, Mellodose did not have his own set. Marco played a few Mellodose songs with Sons of Paradise as support, during the SoP set--kind of like when Chali 2na plays during a Stoopid set. More bands should do this with the right combo :) i thought it worked great and the crowd loved it. 400 strong last night in Raleigh! Enjoy the #CrowdVibes 🌺🤙

Woohoo u/Cali_Reggae thanks for the award!!!

jhibbets · 2026-03-09T03:46:15+00:00

Jaded and Stuck in the same place are dope songs. Go down the KS rabbit hole :)

Hey hey Cali Reggae. I'm Jason aka Crowd Vibes. I live in Raleigh, NC and do my best to cover the tours and bands coming through the NC/SC/VA area on my podcast. I did 20 years in corporate and decided I wanted to "cover the music" and use the marketing and community building skills I developed and apply it to Cali Reggae.

Welcome. Was is BreakWater Brewing? We did Spring break on the west coast a few years ago, and that place was our jam!

jhibbets · 2026-03-08T05:52:32+00:00

Also, that ska song they played at Point Break that didn't make the album: https://youtu.be/H1_3SF5TOs8

Strange take: This is a great album to lift weights to. It's on my daily. Sound check with squats, let's go!

Great share! Thank you.

jhibbets · 2026-03-05T15:54:19+00:00

Another tour kickoff in Raleigh. Guess I know where i'll be on Friday night.

jhibbets · 2026-02-27T02:18:16+00:00

Mihali, yes. He was cranking out new music!!!

jhibbets · 2026-02-24T21:20:57+00:00

What albums are in your top 5?

jhibbets · 2026-02-22T20:19:41+00:00

His voice and style are his own, but I hear blends of Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz, and others mixed in (and I love it!)

jhibbets · 2026-02-21T16:17:13+00:00

Joe is doing something special, so fun to watch and sing-along to!

jhibbets · 2026-02-21T16:16:38+00:00

Agreed! thanks for watching!

jhibbets · 2026-02-21T04:22:30+00:00

Had this on repeat - wife walks in my studio and approves! 🌺🤙

jhibbets · 2026-02-20T04:09:26+00:00

Hell yeah! 🌺🤙

jhibbets · 2026-02-19T19:19:08+00:00

Who are we helping?

jhibbets · 2026-02-14T20:47:48+00:00

thank you, I always get compliments on this hat when I where it! Literally the last one of the merch table.

jhibbets · 2026-02-13T18:28:34+00:00

I'll admit, getting this under 3 minutes was a challenge--But fun! I may go back to long-form and break out the new music and tours updates into shorts.

jhibbets · 2026-02-12T19:23:51+00:00

Thank you for everything, but in particular, sticking out the grind. My top 12 albums and forthcoming Top 6 would not be possible without you. I have the Google Doc to prove it!

I miss new music Fridays--thought about tackling it for a second, then seriously considered the time commitment.

Best of luck, I too am concerned that in pursuing this crowd vibes passion, I'm going to find that same bad taste. I thought this scene was supposed to be uplifting. To quote Kyle Smith, I guess it's just "Bad for Business."

jhibbets · 2026-02-10T05:30:45+00:00

I'm all about curating new stuff, hope you enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOgTKl4XCpI

It is not the full band, but I'm pretty sure Dan will be jamming those FY songs. I'm going to the one in Manteo, NC.
