Easy Star All-Stars in Berkeley

Easy Star All-Stars is an American reggae collective formed in New York in 1997. Led by producer Michael Goldwasser, the group is known for recasting complete rock albums in reggae and dub, beginning with Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon on Dub Side of the Moon. Radiodread reworked Radiohead’s OK Computer, while Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band revisited the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. After the 2003 release of Dub Side of the Moon, the collective took the album on the road with a full reggae band and rotating vocalists. Later tours added material from Radiodread, Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band and Thrillah, and the group returned to Dub Side of the Moon for 20th-anniversary performances. The band has also performed at Glastonbury Festival in England and Rototom Sunsplash in Spain.
