The secret to the band’s rise? “Lazy bands die fast,” band mate Gary Jackson told Skope online magazine. The Movement plays about 200 live shows a year.
The band’s scope of influences is even broader, including the Pixies, Sublime, Outkast, Norah Jones and more.
The band has been on the road non-stop since the 2008 release of its sophomore studio album “Set Sail,” which went to No. 7 on iTunes’ Top 100 Reggae Albums.
The band includes Jordan Miller, Jay Schmidt, Gary Jackson and John Bowling.
The group has been influenced by artists of all genres, from The Pixies to Sublime to Outkast to Norah Jones. For more information visit
