After three albums, 4 years, and hundreds of gigs, Public Property has established itself as one of America's top touring reggae bands. Started in 2003 by the Hawaii born and bred frontman Dave Bess, the band seamlessly jumps from roots reggae to gospel reggae, ska to hip-hop infused funk, to rock and back to reggae, all the while keepin' the dance floor hot and the booties shakin'. Add female vocalists, a ukulele, and a controversial and urgent message, it's no wonder this band has risen so quickly in the U.S. reggae and jam scenes as one of the top nationally touring reggae acts. You'd be hard pressed to find a more confrontational and outspoken band that sounds this fun. And rarely has a uke been so seditious. Of the people, by the people, and for all the people, Public Property will spread its message across the country in 2008, touring to Hawaii, the west coast, east coast, mountain states, and visiting several festivals throughout summer.
