Their lush harmonies, worldly beats, and uplifting message have helped them build a core audience locally, and they’ve opened for the Original Wailers and played at Bumbershoot.Kore Ionz’s new self-released single “Sweet Reggae Music” drops next Tuesday, March 29. You can download it for free (!) by visiting the band’s official website and providing your e-mail address. If you like what you hear, you should check the guys out live on Thursday, March 31 at The Triple Door, as well as on Saturday, April 2 at Snoqualmie Casino.Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
