T.U.G.G.
The west coast of Wisconsin isn’t typically thought of as a hotbed of alternative reggae music, however, T.U.G.G. (pronounced tug) hailing from La Crosse, WI has done an admirable job channeling tropical grooves and breezy melodies and has quickly become one of the Midwest’s top draws. The band's sound is described as a fun and danceable mixture of reggae, rock, and ska.
SEEDLESS
