With their fusion of Reggae, Rock, Dub and Roots, The Sons
of Zion are a six piece crew hailing from various locations
around Aotearoa. Their live stage presence has captivated
audiences all over the country and their infectious sound
is a mixture of reggae groove with melodic vocals, phat
dubby base lines and metal inspired guitar riftstheres
definitely something for every musical taste within their
original set!


Since their 2007 New Zealand Music Month debut, the Sons Of
Zion have continued to build momentum in the NZ music
industry and have stamped their unique sound locally at
festivals such as Parachute, Native Noise Waitangi Day,
Maoriside Tour and the 2008 V8 Super Cars just to name a
few.

theyve already been scouted out to share the stage with
some of the countrys best loved roots acts including KORA,
KATCHAFIRE, THE BLACKSEEDS, CORNERSTONE ROOTS, HOUSE OF
SHEM, THREE HOUSES DOWN and AARDIJAH.

music in the garage of one of the bands members, Sam
