Strategy

Artist Bio / Album Info

RC Dub is a 5 piece group based out of Lincoln, NE. Equipped with a bold horn section, and a plethora of vocal harmony, their special blend reggae has been a staple on the Lincoln music scene since their emergence as RC Dub in 2003. Originally formed by Emily Madison (aka Goldie) and Calen Olivetti, RC Dub have continued to spread their unique socially conscious music to regional and national audiences.

RC Dub’s extensive repertoire spans from the traditional rocksteady and ska of the reggae legends from Treasure Isle and Studio One, to jazz-fused stylings of roots, dancehall and dub. Armed with such an arsenal of reggae, RC Dub plays all night until the lights come on.

Their 2005 release, “Inna State of Dubmission”, has received rave reviews from such installments as Beat Magazine, and aided the band in earning the Independent Artist Registrys title of “Top Independent Band” in 2006, along with national and international radio play.

The band then toured regionally and nationally in the years that followed, building up a loyal fan base as they went. In 2009 the band traveled to Jamaica, giving them further understanding of the music and culture of the island, as well as an opportunity to play there themselves and enjoy a positive response to their music.

The band has shared the stage with such acts as The Wailers, HR (of Bad Brains), Calton Coffee (of Inner Circle), Pato Banton, the Grammy Nominated Blue Riddim Band and Germany’s own Dr. Ring Ding. Their new album "Strategy" has been released spring of 2011 on Rougher Records, RC Dub is continuing their forward momentum and shows no signs of slowing down.
