The Expanders ~ “Something Wrong”
The Expanders are one of the hardest working reggae bands in Southern California.
Known for their vintage style of reggae played in the tradition of classic 1970’s Jamaican groups, their music is centered in three-part vocal harmonies and strong song writing, with lyrics that range from socially heavy to playful and upbeat.

The Miners Foundry is pleased to present The Wailers in concert, Wednesday, July 16, 2014. Together with Bob Marley, the Wailers have sold over 250 million albums and have played to an estimated 24 million people across the globe. On the 30th anniversary of its release in 1984, 
Inspired by Rastafari and their ambitions of reaching an international audience, the Wailers pioneered roots rock reggae, and signed to Island Records in 1971. Under the direction of bassist Aston “Family Man” Barrett, the Wailers partnered with Bob Marley on the succession of hit singles and albums that made him a global icon and Jamaica’s best-loved musical superstar. As the greatest living exponents of Jamaica’s reggae tradition, the Wailers have completed innumerable tours, playing to an estimated 24 million people across the globe.
A period of deep reflection and meditation left Pato feeling guided to continue his musical journey. In early 2005 Spiritual Guide Yahe Boda invited Pato to do a short tour across America to “Gather the People in Praise.” Pato’s most recent release is Destination Paradise (2008). He began 2009 with the formation of a new band, The Now Generation, who undertook a state wide tour of the United States, with a commitment to spreading the teachings of The Urantia Book. In the early 2010 Pato performed a special Ska-version show in Tijuana with The Ghostownians as backing-band. Throughout the performance he gave a peace message to the audience to counter the violence there at the time.
