This is Soulful Roots Reggae at its core. The grooves are a force to be heard and felt. The music is energized with words and melodies that flow over the heavy roots rhythms.
One Drum originally started in Connecticut in 2014, formed by brothers Bryan and Andrew Cirullo. Musical inspiration came from many styles & genres including Reggae & World Music. On their journey the brothers have performed at iconic music venues such as Shrine in Harlem, New York, Ashkenaz in Berkeley, California & Cervantes The Other Side in Denver, Colorado. They have opened for international acts such as Sleepy Wonder, Lee Scratch Perry & Israel Vibration.
The band was based in the San Francisco Bay Area from 2015-2017 before finally making way to Colorado. Shortly thereafter One Drum released their first EP titled Lionz Den. Over the next few years they have continued to reside and perform throughout the Rocky Mountain State. Most recently in 2023 the band has released their debut full length album titled 'Basic Needs.' The music is available at all digital outlets and platforms.
