For 34 years, NYC’s the Slackers have toured the world with their critically acclaimed – and widely beloved – blend of ska, reggae, and soul. The Slackers have been called “the sound of New York” by the New York Times. They were described by Brooklyn Vegan as a “clean mix of ska, reggae, and soul that gets dirtied up by Vic Ruggiero’s tough New York accent.” Decades into their run, The Washington Post noted that the Slackers “remain at the top of their game.” Since forming in 1991, the Slackers have released 16 albums, 5 EPs, and countless singles. They have performed thousands of energetic concerts for their global fanbase and remain unstoppably prolific.

Opening for the Slackers and one of their biggest fans are the Hilltop Pranksters, a local psychedelic groove jam band hailing from Salt Spring Island.
