XOVA

Indie / Reggae / Dub
XOVA (Pronounced CROSS-OVA) are the latest STREET REGGAE BAND to come out of the UK this year with their unique ability to produce stunning tracks that are not only hard hitting Reggae but truly cross over to capture the RNB market as well

Coming out of Birmingham UK the home of such legends as Steel Pulse, UB40, Apache Indian, Pato Banton, Musical Youth and Bitty Mclean they follow in a long and fine tradition in Reggae music taken from the streets of this multi-cultural city.

The differences being that XOVA now fuse in their flavours from the streets of living in an urban city such as Birmingham in this new millenium.

Their Tracks hit home hard with lyrics of todays world about such high profile subjects as SINGLE PARENTS, KNIFE CRIME, LIVING IN POVERTY, DRUGS, IMMIGRATION, UNWANTED WARS IN IRAQ & AFGHANISTAN, THE PEOPLE STANDING UP AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT, and being VICTIMS OF SOCIETY …..but Delivered in a totally uplifting style that is not only Radio friendly but will undoubtedly see them take to the main stages of all major arena’s and festivals worldwide.

The band are a truly multi-cultural band packed with Global touring, charts hits and TV experience with the majority of the band being the driving force behind bands such as PATO BANTON , APACHE INDIAN and even MUSICAL YOUTH on hits like BABY COME BACK, BOOMSHAKALAK, PASS THE DUTCHIE, and BUBBLING HOT.

We are an italian power trio performing blues, hard blues, rock blues and rock music. We are interested in taking our music to Northern Europe; and we'd like to ask your collaboration in this project. Is there a possibility to be hired from (every kind of) live performance? We are well experienced in this kind of events. We have a large acoustic and electric repertoire, and different set lists for different requests.

We hope you'll get interested and contact us for any further information.

Acoustic
Hi There

I am a acoustic guitarist songwriter and I have played guitar for many reasons. My songs are often these days inspired by the people I meet and often the more I like them the more inspired I am. The other reasons can be grumpy reasons.

My songs can be wistfull, sometimes sorrowfull, but I enjoy positive emotions more. Some people say my music sounds like one particular artist but often its someone I have never heard.

If you like any of the music that I will be posting on Broadjam few months please feel free to give your opinion.
