Aurora's Reef

Event Description

"CANADA'S CAPITAL REGGAE BAND." Aurora’s Reef is a six-piece reggae collective straight from the soul of Canada’s capital. Their fresh fusion of roots reggae, ska, and swing are signature to their performances. They've been featured at The Rainbow Bistro, Ottawa Ribfest and Kinaxis InConcert, and were keynote performers at the Ontario Moonshine Festival, North Buxton Homecoming Celebration, and the IndieCity Patio Live Summer Music Series.

Summer 2024 saw them on their inaugural tour from Montreal to Windsor, where listeners connected to their soon-to-be classic originals like Sarsaparilla, Road Burn, and Event Horizon. Now, they are crafting their self-titled album Aurora’s Reef.

“Aurora’s Reef strives to create a welcoming community through the unifying power of reggae music. Rooted in stories of resilience, their music reflects the spirit of connection and celebration. Hailing from North Buxton Ontario, frontman Duncan Travis honours his heritage as a descendant of the Underground Railroad through his original music. As a group, they honour a legacy of freedom and hope while inspiring others to find belonging and joy in every note they play.”
